Cameron Diaz's AMAZINGLY GLAMOROUS Manhattan Apartment by Kelly Wearstler

Your style or not, it's hard not to appreciate the sumptuous, textural and lustrous quality of Diaz's stunning Manhattan abode. The materials used are EXQUISITE.  I would love to just walk around and touch everything..

I was surprised to read that Diaz is a professed design freak and will even be taking on the role of artistic director for fashion accessories for Pour La Victoire.  She owned the 2,400 sq. ft. prewar apartment for several years before deciding on a designer, and had been gathering inspiration and tearing out magazine pictures for years.

Diaz and Wearstler decided on hues of burnished metals and lustrous minerals: malachite, onyx, rose gold, silver, and copper to use throughout the home.

I love that the space is glamorous but not so cluttered with baubles that there is no restfulness to it.

The brass backsplash is amazing.  Weastler's mastery of jewel tones never ceases to amaze me.

The master bedroom. "Drawers are lined in raw black silk, the back sides of doors are clad in hammered metal, and the interiors of closets are covered in custom wallpaper or in vivid paint." Can you imagine?!?!


The master bath.  Definitely fit for a screen goddess.

I prefer the guest bedroom to the master.  It's lighter but still elegant.  The four poster bed is custom made, the light fixture 1960's Austrian.


What do you think?

Vanity Eye Candy!

Every Monday could use some eye candy to start us off, right?! Lately I've been scoping out ideas for bathroom vanities.  Ours is soooorrrryyyy. It's chipping and cheap looking and I hate. Vanities are one of those things that should look great, because they are such a focal point of a bathroom, but also be functional because most of us need all the storage we can get in our bathrooms.


HELLO beautiful backsplash!

Finding the perfect vanity for your space is more than just picking out the style. Measure out how much space you have and find something that looks amazing but also fits in well with the rest of the room.  Consider what you will need to store in the vanity, and what you will be using it for.  Modern Bathroom is a great resource for finding a vanity that suits your needs.

Love the dark walls contrasting with the white and seriously considering this for our master or guest bath.

A little character in your choice is good! Even though most vanities come in white, brown, or black, mixing it up with a nice color can make any bathroom have a little more personality. A toned down color like the one below really makes this bathroom clean and crisp but also adds a little something extra to the space.

This gorgeous weathered piece adds character and beauty.

Carrying a material throughout, like on the vanity top and floor as seen below, always adds a luxe and elegant look in my opinion.
