Happy International Women’s Day! Today we pay homage to one of the first interior designers Elsie de Wolfe. Born in 1859 in New York, she transformed the interiors of wealthy homes from dark wood , heavily curtained palaces into light, intimate spaces. The most famous name in interior design until the 1930’s. Considered by some to have invented the occupation of interior designer. . . . #happyinternationalwomensday #interiordesigners #women #interiors #design #decoration #style #chinoiserie #chintz #frenchfurniture #inspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwnHZRhIs4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z788pr8uovng

The art of faux. Long associated with historical and ecclesiastical buildings - faux work is now finding a use in contemporary settings as well as more traditionally styled interiors. #fauxgoodnesssake #fauxmarbre #fauxbois fauxtortoiseshell #fauxpierre #paint #artisan #bespokesurfaces #design #inspiration #thursday #interiors #interiordesin #decor #interiordecoration https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBUPovATcB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15i9ntoafc27f
