Habachy Designs

Polished Nail Spa.  I love love love these chairs from Kartell designed by Philippe Starck.  These mademoiselle chairs represent a unique solution for mixing a modern silhouette with transparent legs and a more traditional fabric.  

After leaving Italy, I interned for an acclaimed Interior Designer in Atlanta, Georgia (habachydesigns.com) whose work has been seen on Bravo TV. When I first saw this interior (the above image) on his website, I knew I had to intern here.

Woman's Wardrobe

Habachy Designs taught me more about layering and adding visual depth to a space. They designed all sorts of styles, but I particularly fell in love with their Hollywood Regency Interiors. They really know how to update it by adding Modern touches such as a Modern chandelier, lucite pulls or an Asian sculpture. I was very fortunate to be a part of the design seen in the image above, and the images that follow. Enjoy...

Woman's Wardrobe vanity with a Barbra Barry chair.  The walls are covered with silk wallpaper from Astek Wallcoverings.  Note the Asian Sculpture used in the space.
Gorgeous Carpet from Crescent Carpet

The raised Roman tub that mimics the domed ceiling.  The white carrara marble and Florentine mosaic tile is a classic!
Laser cut diamond mirrored tiles with bevel edges add more glitz and glamour to the Master Bath.  The walls have a lusterstone finish which provides a pearlescent metallic sheen.



Can I please own this trio?  It would go perfectly in this interior.  Photo-shoot anyone?

To Flaneur

                                                     Lets start to Flaneur...






Flanuer is a French word for a professional wanderer.  While I studied abroad in Italy, my professor taught me about the word Flanuer and it became our inspiration for the semester.  So, I thought there would be no better way to start my blog, than in the city that helped me wander... 


                                          Duomo- Florence, Italy

At the very front steps of the Duomo, Filippo Brunelleschi discovered the vanishing point that changed art forever.  So, here is to the start of getting lost in the city of Florence to find adventure and what a great idea...
