Or just mine, at least. It's my 100th post and I have Ivanka Trump to thank! About a year ago, I fell for her fresh, colorful, and sophisticated, New York apartment in InStyle Magazine. On a google hunt for a garden stool in Atlanta (like the one pictured above), I stumbled into the amazing (and addictive) world of design blogs. How appropriate that my 100th post should fall right before Thanksgiving, as I want to say thank you to all of the bloggers for their artistic inspiration, humorous insight and the much needed creative outlet.
So much has been said about this super cute apartment already, that I refer anyone seeking more, to Style Court's original coverage of the Emma Jane Pilkington designed space. All The Best also did an interesting Profile on Ivanka Trump earlier this month. Instead, I will leave you with a clip of Ivanka sporting her best I-am-so-much-smarter-than-you attitude in this behind-the-scenes interview at the InStyle photo shoot.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I love the image you selected here, with that much loved red lacquered lampshade. And as always your smart/funny spin.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Mandarin on Miami Circle has similar garden stools. Congrats on your 100th post!
You could not have picked a better home to have inspired you to start blogging! And we're so glad you did :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Congrats on your 100th post! I agree, you couldn't have picked a better home to feature :) Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the nice comments. (And shopping source suggestion). Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThe red lacquered shade is tempting me to leave my classic black behind. I read you every day, so thanks to you,too, for being a part of the party.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100th post! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you!

ReplyDeleteJust when I really thought I'd run out of things to look up on the internet, I found the world of blogs, too. And it's so much fun--especially yours. Your style and humor is great.
ReplyDeletemaybe that should be "are great."
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I look forward to the next 100!
ReplyDeletecongrats!! i loved her home as well...its funny, i have two of the same lulu dk fabrics in my house!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I still hadn't seen some of those images - I know, it's hard to believe..
ReplyDeleteI think I started blogging for similar reasons, most of the google searches I was doing for designers and design references turned up being from blogs, so I also joined the ranks. Congrats on your 100th blog post!

Congratulations! I visit your blog daily and loved this story too. Long may you, and Ivanka, reign!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 100th post! I enjoy your blog so very much.
ReplyDeleteCan I just do a little jealous whisper that it's not fair that someone so young should have such a gorgeous apartment? :)
ReplyDeleteI am your devoted reader, Brilliant A!
Congratulations! Keep up the good work, your blog is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteoh boy, what a nice space to recall. It's fun hearing how you fell upon so many of the blogs we all know and love. I agree, her apartment is the epitome of chic - and very worthy of googling! Congrats on the 100th post!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100th post, Brilliant--I remember when you were just starting out :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you "stumbled" upon blogging and took it up!!! Congratulations on a fantastic 100 posts....and here's to your next 100. Your blog is "BRILLIANT"
ReplyDeleteCOngrats! Can't wait to hear about your NYC trip. We're going up on the 18th.
ReplyDeleteHers is a beautiful space and she is a beautiful girl. But that whole "garner favor" thing just turned me off. Modesty is a lovely attribute.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this gorgeous post. I initially saw her apartment on Oprah, and I've been obsessed ever since. I love the teal bookshelves, it's so refreshing!!! Thanks again, I appreciate it :)
