La casa de Dora Maar

Dora Maar's house

Dora Maar was a French photographer, poet and painter who is well known for her tumultuous relationship with Pablo Picasso. In the Easly 1940's, Picasso bought this home for her in one of the most beautiful regions of Southern France, Mernerbes. After the relationship ended, Dora spent the rest of her life in the estate surrounded by Picasso's paintings of her. 

The house is simply breathtaking with beautiful cypress tress surrounding it. The high ceilings and artist studio make it an eclectic but elegant estate. The home still boasts of glamour but has been renovated and is now a retreat for writers, scholars and artists.

Chandeliers

Chandeliers are a great way to add light and transform any space. I love to use them like art and make them a focal point of any room. Whether you have a rustic chandelier or a spectacularly elegant one, they can add a lot of pizzazz. 

This antique chandelier from Nanette Lepore's house adds extra pop to her already stylish and eclectic abode.

Vamanos a Montauk!

Let's go to Montauk!

To do list: Visit the Hamptons this summer...

There's something super charming about "summering in the Hamptons" and Montauk seems like the perfect place to be during the hot weather. This east coast beach town is the perfect blend of charming, glamorous and beachy. 

The contrast between the rustic beach cottages and beautiful beaches make it an ideal place to hangout. The simplicity of the white woodwork and clean lines in these photos give a glimpse into the laid back lifestyle of the town. 

The amazing scenery and idea of the perfect clam bake, is putting it on my new top spot to visit...Vamanos!
