CRUSH CAMPAIGN #19 Flamingo Estate⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m moving back to LA! And living here! Now that I’ve possibly got your attention, I’m totally kidding. I am not moving but I would in a heartbeat if I could live here @flamingo_estate! I’m obsessed. With help from the renowned Parisian design firm Studio KO, Chandelier Creative founder Richard Christiansen transformed this flamingo-pink former adult film-studio into a sprawling garden paradise and it’s my version of heaven on earth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The house was built in the 1940s by a pair of determined entrepreneurs who took off to California to build their dream in the hills above Los Angeles. For the next 70 years, the @flamingo_estate would find itself being used as headquarters for various things — from a pirate-radio station to a creative retreat for artists. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, Richard Christiansen has completely transformed the Estate. It boasts gardens with over 150 botanical species brought in from Mexico and Australia. The land features an orchard abundant with plums, pears, nuts, olives, citrus, peaches, alongside purple sage, poppies, mugwort, and rhododendrons. From the sprawling gardens to the impeccably designed interiors, this place is accurately described as "heaven surrounded by a garden".⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It all started with this bookmark. A gorgeous hand-painted, engraved peacock on a bookmark. I had to have it. @BernardMaisner is the creator of my coveted bookmark. His luxury stationery products are all hand-lettered and engraved, which is why I absolutely fell in love with the work of Mr. Maisner. Nothing says luxurious like his cards, place settings, invites, and even bookmarks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When have you last bought a bookmark, I ask? Since I tend to get addicted to things I love, I couldn’t wait to stock his stunningly beautiful pieces in the Interior Monologue shop. This love affair – it’s getting serious. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Meet the Maker! @Laurelandashfarm is a 50 acre-wor

Meet the Maker! @Laurelandashfarm is a 50 acre-working family farm and forest nestled within a mountainside in the Hudson Valley. From the heritage maples grown right on their farm, Laurel & Ash produces the highest quality limited batches of wood-fired maple syrup right on their own property in upstate NY. Welcome to the real deal. I will never forget meeting this couple of NYC transplants last Autumn outside @hasbroukhouse. They were magnetic and so kind and I knew even before tasting their stunning syrup that I woudl love it. They pour so much heart and soul and love into their craft that you are just certain it will taste good. And guess what? It does taste even better than good. It tastes amazing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, that is the magic of these makers. They not only excel in producing the highest quality farm products but do so responsibly. In their own words, Laurel & Ash “values quality over quantity, enjoyment over tedium, and fostering respect for the forest and land that we farm.” I couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s so empowering to engage with a company that feels so grounded in their value system. Clearly, this speaks to a deep love for their trade. And clearly it also speaks to my deep love of finding these hidden gems. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Read our full editorial feature on Laurel and Ash Farm on the website and shop their delicious syrup there or here! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Made in NY. 🍁 Let’s get cozy this Autumn and pour some of nature’s love into your homes.

As soon as I can do so, I am hoping on a plane to London do go to dinner at this new, stunning restaurant @maisonfrancoislondon with my London crew. You know who you are! So get ready. Because when we slide into these handcrafted, walnut booths with this chic piped edging, we might never leave. Designed by The Guild of Saint Luke, one of the most gobsmackingly cool interior design firms I’ve ever come across (more on that later), just the photographs by Oskar Protor @oskar.proctor of this place alone are drool worthy. I haven’t read about the food, but I am not so sure I care! I just cannot wait to go. London, my former home, and all my darling friends there, I miss you! 🇬🇧❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #16: Mimi Thorisson One of my abs

CRUSH CAMPAIGN #16: Mimi Thorisson

One of my absolute favorite blogs to follow is Manger, by the fabulous and talented Mimi Thorisson. The blog documents the life of the Thorisson family with dreamy bucolic photos of Mimi and her children running through the idyllic French countryside, or in her beautiful kitchen, making something scrumptious. Everything in the photographs she shares is effortlessly stylish, the epitome of farmhouse chic, European-style. The family's latest travels took them to Italy, where Mimi was working on her latest cookbook.

So I have some good news for all of you with a serious case of wanderlust. Mimi has just released said latest cookbook, Old World Italian, featuring Italian recipes alongside stunning photography by her husband Oddur Thorisson. I, for one, cannot wait to pick up my copy. Link in bio to read our feature all about Mimi, her gorgeous family and her enviable European adventure of a life! 🖤

Interior Monologue’s Meet the Maker: glaze studi

Birds of a feather flock together. Have you even t

Birds of a feather flock together. Have you even thought about that phrase? For some reason, this morning, I did and I’d love to share with you some thoughts I had. I don't know about you, but I am T.I.R.E.D. So tired and yet oddly energized by my flock. I’ll explain. This has been quite the year for all of us, and in my case, on top of a really tough year spent recovering from a terrible head injury and post concussion syndrome. Happy to be healed and alive. But yes, I am tired. But I keep on flying. We all do. And in times like these, I do think there is some comfort to be had in surrounding ourselves with like-minded "birds" that encourage us to live our life to its fullest potential and not get held back by our tiredness or the long journey we have been on. So why post about this and this phrase? Because I found it so interesting when I learned where the phrase comes from. Birds of a feather flock together because flocking together allows birds to use less energy when they fly. Take for example that you’ve probably seen the V formation that some birds fly in. Each bird flies in the wake of another, which reduces the wind resistance for the ones in the back. Less wind resistance equates to less energy is needed to fly. Genuis! The bird in the front has it the hardest, but wouldn’t you know it, they all take turns being in the front. They all take turns. That is simply beautiful to me.

CRUSH CAMPAIGN # 16 Atelier Fevrier⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

CRUSH CAMPAIGN # 16 Atelier Fevrier⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you want to take a ride on a magic carpet? Well, I’ve found you one! This ☝️. Incredibly beautiful, isn't it? It is by the talents at @atelierfevrier. But wait, there is more than just good looks happening here. It is also their process and the craft that I am crushing on! The design process for them starts with a hand drawn sketch. From the paper, it transforms into a real sized drawing that that begins being hand-knotted by expert weaves in Nepal, a team comprised of around 50 people. Each of the Atelier rugs reflects originality and uniqueness to their craftsmanship nature in a way I haven’t seen before. From the premium wool sourced from Tibet, to the finest silk brought in from China, these rugs are truly crafted in with the finest materials. Together these elements protect the rug to age well, and add durability and luster. The whole process takes a minimum of 14 weeks. One other element that I love is that the rugs are fair trade and environmentally friendly, which are also core foundations to Atelier Ferrier through the use of only natural fibers and ethical work treatment of their teams in Nepal and Tibet. Brilliant work! Shall we all go out and order one now? I say yes! Link in bio to read all about this magical carpet (maker). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
