✝ In honor of Halloween and the Day of the Dead i wanted to feature a beautiful dark space.
I found the pictures on this lovely blog.
The gorgeous house is located in London and is in the process of renovations... It looks so perfectly creepy!
Cheers to the spirit of Halloween! ✝
Today, we are peeking into the home of real estate agent and mother of two Rebekah Baker.
I knew very little about Rebekah when I entered her home for the first time but i immediately thought she had skillfully achieved what many of us wish to master: Color!
Each room tells a compelling story. She chose soft, powder hues in the relaxing rooms and energizing colors in the areas of living.
The house, like many in the area, belonged long ago to a Sea Captain and it had this wonderful and comforting feel of nostalgia. Navigating through her home felt somehow like a little voyage back in time.

Tell us where you live, since when and where you are from originally
I live in Amagansett, NY. I've lived here since i was pregnant with my son about 9 years ago. Before that I split my time between Amagansett and New York City. I have lived in many places including Chicago, Montreal, Ottawa, and Ireland. I am originally from Philadelphia.
What are the 3 fundamental elements in your life philosophy?
Mistakes will happen, look for the lessons.
Search for the gold in a person.
Life is full of ups and downs, have a strong center.
Tell us how you began working in the field you are now
I was considering going back to school to study Architecture and while trying to figure out the logistics I realized I couldn’t move my family out of town and hours away to attend an architecture school. Meanwhile, my sister said why don’t you get a real estate license and help me find a house? My husband and I had been involved with buying houses and fixing them up and I continued forward with getting my real estate license with trepidation. Once I started working it all became very natural as I enjoyed the hunt for something special and the importance in finding a home that someone could love.
What was the best piece of advice you have received in the process?
Treat success and failure equally.
How would you describe your home?
Living and breathing – constantly changing and evolving. Full of color. Quirky.
What is your favorite occupation at home?
Cooking for friends and family, sitting on the floor with my kids to play, and at the end of day when kids are asleep, taking a bath!
Your most cherished object ?
Defintely without question the art I own – namely a Jill Musnicki painting of a jelly fish that hangs over my mantle piece in my living room. Whatever house I live in it will feel like home if I just have that one painting with me…
What detail do you recall most about the home you grew up in?
It was how the light filtered into my bedroom. I had a large window with a ledge that I could sit on comfortably and spent most of time playing with dolls, reading, making things… A lot about a house is how the light enters and is retained within its walls. I grew up with a father who is a master of modern architecture. From an early age he taught me how to see elements of space differently. Just by standing next to my dad you get a sense of something magical happening, in just the way he observes the world around him.
What is your present state of mind?
Trying to find comfort in uncertainty.
Finish the quote: "i would never compromise..."
In general I don’t believe in "nevers". Life is “a great game of compromise – it is a dance between effort and surrender”.
When ceramics become objects of art.
Work by Laure Sulger-Libessart.
Splendide découverte que celle de la céramiste Laure Sulger-Libessart.
Aimerais tellement avoir l'une de ses création là sur mon buffet.
I am at this very minute working on the upcoming interview/home feature and leave you with these beautiful fall compositions by Kari Herer, available here.
En attendant la nouvelle interview (j'y travaille, j'y travaille!), je vous propose de vous délecter des ces superbes compositions automnales. Travail de la photographe Kari Herer, en vente ici.
There is a tormented side of childhood that triggers interest in me, much more than the innocent & sweet nature we usually portray. After all, growing up and learning about life is a complex, challenging path. By choosing her own children as subject, Sally Mann has captured the dark nature of childhood and adolescence better than any photographer i know. Her portraits are almost daunting.
I am a huge fan of her work.
Le travail exceptionel de la photographe Sally Mann. En documentant ses propres enfants, elle a capturé le coté obscure de l'enfance et de l'adolescence. Un sujet qui m'a toujours fasciné. Ses portraits sont d'un réalisme touchant, presque intimidant.
Can't help but see a little bit of Pollock in Il Lee.
But this time no dripping technique, these are made using a ballpoint pen. Another one that reinforce my conviction that simplicity is the closest attribute to beauty.
Lucky you new york-based readers! Il Lee is current exhibiting at the Art Projects intranational (Oct 11- Dec 22 2001).

Un petite touche de Pollock dans les toiles d'Il Lee. La différence? pas de pinceaux ici, mais l'utilisation du stylo Bic.
Impressionant.
Today, i am sharing the world of fashion stylist Elena De Tullio.
It would be an understatement to say that she is the essence of romanticism. Her living space is filled with powder colors, soft textures and feminine energy. We shared an afternoon tea in her luscious garden (isn't she so lucky?) and took a long walk through the park, enjoying the last few warm hours of the season.

The coolest bride ever, sporting aviators, indian chappal sandals and a sherpa vest. Shot in the beautiful region of Brittany, France by the very talented Corey Hendrickson. I love the unstaged modern feel of this wedding, see it in full here.
La mariée était comment dire? trop cool. Avec ses Ray-Ban et sa petite veste de mouton. Un marriage breton relax et moderne magnifiquement capturé par le photographe (et ami) Corey Hendrickson. Son blog est vraiment sympa, je vous recommande de vous y abonner!
For those of you who have an iphone, you probably know how addictive the photo apps can be when it comes to documenting your life.
Personally, i use Instagram a lot. If you too have an account with them, here is my screen name: summerandjune.
Follow me!
Effets "vieux pola" pour un résultat plutôt étonnant,
prises avec l'irremplaçable iphone et l'application Instagram. Quel outil de poche formidable pour documenter sa vie!
Mon nom de code : summerandjune. Suivez-moi!
When i first glanced at Barbara Cole's work i immediately thought "what a skilled painter!" only to find out, these images are actually photographs. She calls herself a photographic artist.
Even though my taste strives on old school non-retouched photography, i have to admit that i am blown away by the quality of this work. I love being challenged by my own perception of what Art is or should be.
Ceci n'est pas une peinture...
Barbara Cole se qualifie d'artiste photographique, elle crée ses images comme des tableaux, en donnant à sa photo l'effet d'un coup de pinceau. Elle m'a bien dupée!
