Happy Monday to you! I’d like to invite you to read my #interiordialogue interview with this extraordinary porcelain artist. When you think ‘porcelain,’ you probably think tea cups and china. But ceramic artist Katherine Morling has thrown all of that out the window with her totally amazing porcelain sculptures . They depict inanimate objects that are given new life through drawn lines and beautiful surfaces. The London-based artist has been working on her “three-dimensional drawings” for over ten years now, perfecting this totally unique art of bringing drawings to life.

And prefect it is just what she has done! I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I first came across these pieces at Bergdorfs in NYC. I seriously stood there what must have been 15 minutes just transfixed by her work. for So graphic, so detailed and so striking! They truly encapsulate the feeling of a worn in measuring tape, or a beat up boom box. Her style is very unique, always using a black line drawing to detail the flat white porcelain surfaces to really make the pieces so eye catching. I had to know more, so I reached out to her directly. Lucky for me, she agreed to do an interview with us so I was able to ask Katherine a few questions about her process and inspiration when it comes to working with clay. Read all about it by clicking that link in the bio! 🔝It takes you to my very own website interiormonologue.com where so many articles like this exist. So much more coming there very soon! #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #ceramicart #womenartist #womenartisans #craftsmanship #artisanmade

Simply put, I want to be transported back here right now. How I wish I could be taking a dip in one of the largest swimming pools in the world while overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. This magical place is called the Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club and it is a private membership club, situated atop Butterfly Beach at The Biltmore in Santa Barbara. This legendary landmark was built in 1937 and has a history steeped in the glory of Hollywood. I swear the entire time I was there I felt like Esther Williams! You couldn’t get me out of the pool. For days. So yes this property is magical. It also happens to have stunning architecture and one of the dreamiest, chicest swimming pools on earth. Did I mention it’s a salt water pool? Oh it was such perfection. Gah! I want to go back. Is it the best on earth? Maybe. Can I kindly ask you all to prove it to me otherwise in the comments below because I would love to know where else I can swim like this! #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #interiorinspo #californiadreaming

My dining room. This chandelier. We bought this forever and a decade ago at @abccarpetandhome and it cost us a months rent. It was one of my first adult purchases. We went for it rather impulsively at the time because we loved it. All handmade in Italy and worth every penny. It’s been in our dining room on the UES in NYC, an apartment in Munich, over our bed in London, in our rental in TriBeCa, and now it resides in the Hamptons over our dining room table. It’s these life purchases I believe we all search for. When you find it, it stays with you forever. Isn’t that the best investment? #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #interiorinspo #handmadeisbestmade #craftsmanship #artisans

Looking fine NYC. I’ll never tire of your city lights sparkling with the backdrop of a twilight sky. There are some fantastic details about you that etch themselves into memory. I always look out this window before I close my eyes at night and I can see the city in my dreams. Good night my friends. Sleep tight. 🖤 #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #ilovenyc #cityliving #brightlightsbigcity

⚡️A “typical of Tanya” long story alert ⚡️ Things are looking up! Anyone else excited for all things autumnal? It’s officially the last day of summer, and it always makes me reflective. I just realized while writing this that I’m posting a photo of myself taken in a mirror. Ha! Anyway. This pic was taken at the Hamptons @holidayhousedesigns this summer. The reason I’m feeling particularly reflective today as we close out summer is remembering that when I snapped this photo, I was feeling scared. The ringing in my head was incessant, I had chronic migraines and dizziness. My appetite was nonexistent and yet because it had been months of feeling like this, I also couldn’t exercise to release stress as I was used to and I so missed my morning meditative exercise with @tracyandersonmethod. My mood and my spirit felt dampened. Working on Interior Monologue and trying to build out the next phase was on hold because of all of this. Even attending this Holiday House felt bittersweet. You see, I wasn’t able to participate in this one despite planning to do so because of my #postconcussionsyndrome. I had to withdraw from doing the ideas I had dreamed up after I planned to use my participation in last Fall’s house as a springboard to my next adventure. I love what I do and I wanted to be able to do it again... to feel better enough to do it again. So as I look forward into this new season, I feel better. A lot better. It’s going to be a great Autumn 🍂 for so many reasons. There is always a silver lining even in the darkest of times that eventually reveals itself. Today I look at this photo and I feel hopeful and happy. And I feel healthier. Wishing you all much happiness and good health this new season. ✍️ Tell me what you’re looking forward to this autumn below! I’d love to know. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue nologue #interiorinspo #handmadeisbestmade #craftsmanship

Each day, Claire Basler creates huge floral arrangements and places them around her house. By house, I mean chateau. Chateau de Beauvoir to be precise. She uses these arrangements from her garden as sources of inspiration for her large scale paintings. By doing so, she literally has inspiration wherever she turns. A carefully considered, blurred line between the inside and the out.
Claire has painted huge murals inside many of her chateau’s rooms where she then places in front of these murals even more flowers. I’m not kidding, it’s like a garden you can live in. Her kitchen literally has a living tree inside of it and I can’t say that I have ever seen anything like this! I wrote a whole feature on this magnificent woman and I’d love for you to read all about her and see her magnificent work. For your added convenience, I’ve placed a link in the bio! 🔝She’s amazing. 🔝 Let’s support these talents! PLEASE. I do this all out of love. Spread the word, share my page, tag talents with #interiormonologue, sign up for my newsletter. I thank you in advance for all of your support! #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #artisans #craftsmanship #womenwhopaint

I couldn’t love old barns more than I do. Throw in the perfect darkened patina on the wood and I’m all yours. This spectacular barn is located on Shelter Island which happens to be one of my favourite places. There’s something about that island that has always captures a little piece of my heart every time I visit. Thankfully it’s located just a short ferry ride away from our magical town of Sag Harbor. What makes this barn even more special is the fact that it is now part of the Shelter Island Historical Society and there is a fantastic farmers market there every Saturday morning. You can thank me later or just pick me up a bunch of fresh heirloom tomatoes! #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #hamptonsstyle #hamptonslife #thisoldhouse #shelterisland

This is utterly stunning, beautiful and exquisite! Reem Acra, you are a genius talent! Most people know her for her elegant bridal collection, but I became obsessed with @reemacra for her markedly unique and amazing #embroidery. Practically every piece she makes is covered in the most intricate beading and needle work, bringing together ancient craft with sleek contemporary silhouettes. To me, she’s the perfect mix of insane over-the-top detail, and timelessly chic elegance.

And I’m not the only one to gush about Reem. In fact, she was first noticed back in her university days in Beirut when a fashion editor admired the dress she was wearing. As it turned out, Reem had made that dress out of an old table cloth from her mother, with the embroidery skills passed down by her grandmother. She was offered her first show after that. Read all about this talent on my website! Link in bio! 🔝🖤 #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #reemacra #craftsmanship #artisans #handmadeisbestmade

SWIM. I’ve done a lot of that this summer. Not to get too “deep” on you all, (pun intended) but at the beginning of summer, it was more of a sink or swim scenario for me. At least that’s how I felt for many months as you all might know — but enough about that. I’m all about saying peace✌️ out post concussion syndrome! It’s not over yet BUT I woke up today after staying offline for a week feeling SO GOOD! Like, I’m getting truly better kind of good. This week “off” made such a difference. It was a week all about family time, adventure, togetherness, laughter, great food, LOTS of swimming and I am cherishing every minute of it. No sinking here! Btw, this photo was taken at @museumoficecream and we had a blast playing in these sprinkles. I did confirm that they are regularly disinfected. 😂 #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #offline #familyroadtrip #postconcussionsyndrome

It was on Church Street and it was almost like going to church. It was heavenly, profound, otherworldly delicious... Such a profound loss for all of us New Yorkers, especially those living downtown, with the closing of this neighborhood bakery gem. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ve likely seen me post about Arcade Bakery before. The interior design alone was worth a visit. They were designed by @workstead and if you’re familiar with their work, you’ll know why I am also obsessed with them. But I digress. The baked goods were the real reason to head here. The interiors were crafted to perfection and served only to enhance the experience. Master craftsman Roger Gural baked like no other and he has been forced to close this bakery suddenly due to a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. I can only imagine he closes with a heavy heart. You could tell how much he loved this bakery and he was there literally every time I went there. If their is a light at the end of the tunnel, rumour has it he is trying to sell it and it has a chance to live on. I would hope and pray for this to happen and for Mr. Gural to act as a baking coach for whomever takes over. I’m not sure there are many who can match his skills in baking. It’s on another level. I, for one, know that my German husband and I will shed some tears come Christmas time when we go to buy our annual stolen only to remember it’s not available anymore. Yes, it was that good. Epic. Best of luck to you, Roger and I wish you much happiness and improved health. We miss you already. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #arcadebakery #interiorinspo #ilovenyc
