Feast For The Eyes.....

I finally received my copy of the March issue of Elle Decor and have not been able to stop studying the images of the interiors designed by renowned interior designer, Richard Keith Langham. I think I almost fainted when I saw the wallpaper in the above picture. It is called Pineapple Arabesque and I am dying to have it in my kitchen now! I am too chicken to call and inquire as to whether or not it is offered only "to the trade" or if the general public can be so privledged! and.... will I be able to swallow the price tag !! Isn't it just lovely?

I know many of you design blogstars as I like to call you, are well aware of Mr. Langham's work...I am just becoming familiar and and always intrigued when I fall upon an image of a room that he designed. His unexpected choices of color and mix of art and antiques always results in pure perfection! I Love the color of the walls in the pics above and below. The starburst mirrors are amazing! My true love is modern architecture, but I think I could get used to living in these interiors! I also love that the wood floors are not too perfect..the home looks comfortable and inviting...

The carpet above was designed by Langham and made by Stark Carpet. It brings everything down a notch and softens the palette just beautifully. I'll bet it feels divine under foot!

I wish I could see what the other side of the master bedroom looks like! The above image depicts pure glam but not so feminine that the "master" of the house wouldn't feel right at home there. The mirror is so stunning and adds a nice contrast to the soft draperies and fur accent rug.

There are more rooms featured in this article that are worthy of feasting the eyes upon. I am gonna go hunt down that wallpaper!!! Happy Saturday!!!
