Ciao Bella!

One of my readers recently asked me for more information about the chair shown in designer Veere Grenney's bedroom and Veere's office was kind enough to share the source. I was afraid they were going to tell me that it was vintage or only available in the UK but it turns out the Bella Chair is from Twentieth Art & Design in Los Angeles! The 1940's Italian inspired chair can be ordered in your own COM (customer's own material) and even has a matching ottoman! You may not be able to hire Veere Grenney to decorate your home but you can order his chair! Ciao bella indeed!

Happy Summer!

Posted by Anonymous Posted on 7:30 PM with No comments
You know there is something wacky going on with the weather when it's sunny and beautiful in England and cold and rainy in New York. Hamish Bowles has even provided photographic proof on his Vogue/Style.com blog, The Hamishphere. Seems he was visiting The Temple, a Palladian folly, that belongs to the British interior designer Veere Grenney and his partner David Oliver. If you remember, I met David, the founder of Paint and Paper Library, at his book debut party at Stark last year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that venerable Mr. Grenney will make the trip over when the next Paint and Paper Library collection debuts this fall which I assume will also have a launch party. It would be nice to meet him in person. Until then, cheers and happy summer!

London Calling

Posted by Anonymous Posted on 2:55 PM with No comments
There is a beautiful photo in the November 2008 issue of American Vogue and unlike usual spreads, they actually gave credit to the owner, London decorator Veere Grenney. I know he's already been profiled on other sites including one of my favorites, Studio Annetta, but I thought his work was too beautiful not to post again. I love how he incorporates the artwork into each room and on his site he mentions that many of his clients are collectors. Must be nice! He also has a lovely line of fabrics, lighting, rugs and furniture and will be featured in the November 2008 issue of Australian Vogue Living magazine. Enjoy!
