used this image for one of their "Can you make this outfit into a ROOM" stories? Inane? Yes! But fun...I was lightly inspired by a recent conversation on finds and fixations with an interiors and design-savvy friend (brand new to the blog world), Mister Particular. Something about that Domino feature fascinates me, silly yet compelling: translating color, line, silhouette into furniture and mood.
I love this painting. I saw it 4 or 5 years ago at an exhibit in London's National Gallery and I was just dumbfounded –the hairdo, the articulated parasol, those shoes! That nose! It is the Portrait of Frau Wilhelmina von Cotta, of 1802, by Christian Gottleib Schick. She's like the Antimatter Universe Madame Recamier and I think she's just captivating.
It's unlikely they'll tackle this one, SO, here's my take:
I know-- the little red cabinet is not quite right (those legs, hmmm). I should have diaphanous muslin drapery, maybe a red cashmere floor pillow... But hey, this isn't an interior design blog|| Most of the items here are from Oly Studio, Mecox Gardens, Stella Christie Lighting, and Benjamin Storck. A wonderful array of Karl Blossfeldt images here, and stunning reproductions of Ernst Haeckel here. The adorable, albeit not-quite-right, curvy red cabinet can be found at anthropologie.

Interesting, perhaps I would have added a wallpaper from Zuber that looks like a diaphanous white linen theatre curtain.
By the way what conversation of ours sprurred this on?
When we had din at Porchetta-- more of a general interiors run down, not specifically Domino-related.
I can't wait to see the latest in old from Amsterdam!
