Before A Bloomsburry life .. The New york Apartment Lisa lived in that I had the opportunity to visit BTW - Can you guess what famous SNL actress bought it from her?

An embroidery of a very interesting dinner party Lisa is the one with the red hair. It took her three months to make this.

The only person cooler than Lisa is her husband Piero . Their son Luca jams on the guitar and has a fantastic personality. If you had to choose a family to travel with this would be the one!

The Foyer
You have to admit that Lisa has guts and talent the kind that allows you to take an ikat bench and put it against a complex patterned wallpaper and make it work. I love this foyer it reeks of pleasant surprise!

Where great meals are born, Piero comes from a family of chefs and has a real talent!
I am so knocking off the flowers in the pitcher thing when I get home and isn't this banquette perfect?

Even the office inspires me - I generally don't love Turkish type rugs but Lisa makes me want one!

I was having a moment with chinz before she sent me this picture of her bedroom - How cool would it be if she had a crazy wallpaper backdrop?

Her house is great, with a lot of personality, so I guess it reflects her, and that is the most important thing - to be a little bit skew-whiff but still look stylish and comforable . I love Lisa too (from afar)
ReplyDeleteLovely blog by the way yet another for me to read.... (small sigh)..
Thanks Jane!
ReplyDeleteSuze, Suze, Suze...
ReplyDeleteHoly cannoli, thank you, I am so honored!
I so remember that first morning at Poppyseed when you waltzed in with a two year old, six months pregnant, wearing sexy chocolate leather trousers, a megawatt smile on your face and I thought to myself, "I need to know that woman STAT!"
Love you, love your new blog and I love your idea for my bedroom...!
Much love,
xx
Lisa's home is tdf! Right now experiencing a new emotion...door knocker envy!
ReplyDeleteAdore her blog, love your's too...the new look is great!
xx
I love that - Door Knocker Envy - Toooo funny :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Iam Andreia and brazilian. I'd loved this posts. Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stylish home! So sad that Lisa moved far away from you, but it's nice to know you have a home away from home when you visit the west coast.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...I follow her blog but I'm not sure I've ever seen a photo of her bedroom...and I've been dying to! Lovely post, and I have to say I'm in awe of any woman who can rock the leather pants while pregnant...you most certainly seem like a woman to know!
ReplyDeleteLove the doorknocker!!
ReplyDeleteAndrela - That is fantastic you found me - love that! Laura when you are pregnant you need anything that helps and Edyta- thanks always for the comments!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am speechless. I especially love that Fromental wallcovering in the foyer....spectacular!
