Spring Cleaning

Home-office-decorating-ideas-ss10Wow. Will you look at this dreamy home office above? The large Grace Kelly artwork, the Jimmy Choo bag, the Lucite chair... I might faint! Add to that, the dainty desk, paned window, floor to ceiling silk dupioni drapes and pop of perfect pink for the chair  - this Venti girl is in high heaven!

Where did I come across this enchanting vignette? None other than the amazing new Elle Decor site. It's the private home of Choo founder Tamara Mellon. But of course! Here's the scoop on the room.

At the London apartment of Jimmy Choo founder Tamara Mellon, decorator Martyn Lawrence-Bullard mixed a vintage Jansen desk, a 1960s Eames chair upholstered in hot-pink leather, and a Warhol print of Grace Kelly.

While I'm not keen on the floor, I'd be hard pressed to voice that complaint if this were indeed my private workspace. The symmetry of the desk lamps the generous crown molding... it's an amazing space. One worthy of a world-famous shoe designer.Bedroom-decorating-ideas-ss-46
If you think that's great.. take a look at her master bedroom. I die!

What the beautiful people are saying...

Exquisite! love the print and her bedding!

What a lucky girl!! Love her home :)

STUNNING. i will definitely be featuring this space in my desk du jour series and of course i'll link back!

I love this office. I'm in the process of re-doing my own office, and this inspires some thought! I may need to soften it up with a rug, but LOVE the pink chair.

You crack me up with Rachel Zoeisms! Beautiful choice with the office - that desk is amazing! And after reading a bit more about Grace Kelly in Vanity Fair, I'm beginning to appreciate her a bit more - lovely artwork.

Love this whole space. That office has me headed for my small dining room eager to rip out everything and plop in a dainty desk and lucite chair!

I DIE for this.

{Sorry, there was no better way to say it}

I'm particularly in love with the Grace Kelley print. My late grandmother who I was very close with looked just like her! I'd love to have a piece like that one day. xxSAS

I particularly like the Andy Warhol artwork. It binds altogether the details.

Something to say, gorgeous?
