At Home in Rome

When I first found the image of Cy Twombly's bedroom in Rome, I was hoping that I could find photos of the rest of his home.  Some continued sleuthing has unearthed them and they were definitely worth the search.  They were taken by Horst P. Horst in 1966 and most appeared in Vogue's Book of Houses, Gardens, People published in 1968.  I've also included two photos taken during a photo shoot for Vogue magazine from 1968.  One of the models looks to be Marisa Berenson.  The interiors are probably the most drop dead gorgeous that I have ever seen.  The antique furniture including Egyptian revival period pieces mixed with the graphic floors and Twombly art is pure perfection.  One of my dreams is to meet Cy Twombly, preferably at this home, but just looking at these photos makes me feel as if I already know him.

Attitude of Gratitude

The best part of Thanksgiving is that it has traditionally been a non-commercial holiday.  Well, until stores decided to open this year but I digress.  Thanksgiving is a day when you don't have to do anything but spend time eating and watching the parade and football with those we care about.  It is always nice to take a moment though to think about all that you have to be thankful for this year.  I am always thankful for my fabulous friends and family and wonderful readers.  I've received so many wonderful emails lately and it is always nice to know that all the hard work that goes into the blog is appreciated by others. 

The last chapter of the book Write It Down, Make It Happen is entitled Giving Thanks.  "When you remember to say thanks, when you live your life in a spirit of gratefulness, life will present you with even more things for which to be grateful."  Just a little something to think about on this day of Thanksgiving.

Art Collector's Paradise

Candia Fisher is a serious art collector but then again, she learned from the best.  Her mother, Emily Fisher Landeau is a serious collector of  modern art as well as, a trustee of of the Whitney Museum of American Art.  Candia's duplex apartment was designed by Aman & Carson and highlights the fabulous art while remaining elegant yet comfortable.  I especially love how the light is reflected in all the lacquered walls and the light colors don't compete with the East River views.  The apartment was featured in the November 2009 issue of Elle Decor but I've found more photos take by Ricky Zehavi that give you a complete picture of this art collector's paradise.  Enjoy!
