blog travels | row house redesign

in the process of redesigning our row house apartment. this involves endless discussions about what needs to change, how expensive it will be to change it, how lovely it will be when it has changed, but results in no actual change. it's a titillating process.

in the meantime...if money grew on trees and i was a money-tree-picker by trade i'd snap up this poet two seater by finn juhl and this czech mid-century dresser by prague kolektiv for our hypothetical (?) redesign. both featured on the lovely destined to design blog.

excited about a girl's road trip to philly this weekend to visit an amazing friend who also serves as my muse.  (we'll sit there and she'll literally start spurting out unconventional ideas for future onyx feather collections like some sort of design savant. it's incredibly unnerving for outsiders to observe.) also can't wait to explore the off-beat vintage philly has to offer. been gathering inspiration for the next line which has led me to aggregating images of chandeliers. (this hot pink one is so wicked it's nonsensical. love it.) here are some vintage and modern chandeliers i've unearthed during my blog travels and paired with complementary dresses. enjoy the weekend!

 

love how the feminity of the crystal droplets is reflected in this valentino dress.

king ludwig II's bedchamber chandelier. intense right? 
only an oscar de la renta dress can stand next to that.

more modern than the others. interesting how much this elie saab dress mirrors this chandelier. even her necklace parallels with the hardware on the right.
