Marisa Tomei’s Manhattan Apartment

When I was a little girl,” says Marisa Tomei, “I wanted to live in a Fred Astaire townhouse and dance, dance, dance.”  This Academy Award winning actress has always been one of my favorites and I have to say I love her style!

Sophistication, Brazilian, Moroccan, South African and a touch of Palm Springs. Talk about an eclectic mix that Marisa has collected through the years. When she isn’t scouring flea markets and thrift stores, such as New York’s Housing Works, she surfs the Internet for design finds on eBay, Live Auctioneers, and other sites. “After working long hours on a set, I like to see pretty things. It helps me to wind down.”

FASHION Home Decor

Let’s get inspired today with a little fashion and decor.  Fashion really does go hand and hand with interior design, both industries use pattern, texture and color to create a design.  With a degree in Fashion Design & Merchandising it gave me a real love and understanding for textiles and pattern.  When studying aboard in Paris I had the opportunity to visit some of the top design houses and attend some amazing fashion shows.  When I was there I took the tram everywhere and quickly fell in love with so much of the cities architecture and interior designs.  So it was no surprise that eventually I would get a second degree and study Interior Design then work for some of the top hospitality firms in California.

e-Decorating Services

Hi Friends!  Today I’m sharing another online e-design client that I completed a few months back.  She expressed that she wanted her master bedroom to have a cozy, sophisticated feel with gray and plum accent colors.  Her existing items were the platform bed, sconce and bench which are gorgeous.  After she completed the online design questionnaire and submitted her room photos and sizes, within 1-2 weeks she received back her new design concept boards, floorplan layout and a purchase list that included all her new selections.

The client asked for a seating area for reading with new ceiling fans and drapery panels.

It was important to utilize the small wall space for a vanity area per the clients request.  This area also needed lighting and an accent stool.
