HUDSON FURNITURE INC.

Hudson Furniture Inc. respects the natural forms of trees and inherent grain of wood with well defined organic lines and geometric forms using traditional joinery techniques and hand rubbed oil finishes. All Hudson furniture is available in custom dimensions, custom finishes and a variety of wood species such as Claro Walnut, Black Walnut, Myrtle, Jasmine, Acacia, Satinwood and Ebonized Pine.
None of the woods we use are harvested from old growth forests. Our wood slabs are domestically sourced from either salvaged trees or wind/storm damaged trees. The trees have an average life span of 250-300 years. When these trees die, they gradually do so from the crest to the roots. The farmers or the tree owners thus have to remove these trees as they might cause damage to houses, other trees or outlying areas. We integrate various wood species into our designs to produce unique works of art.

- Giorgetti -

Giorgetti evolved from the ancient carpenter’s workshop founded in Meda by their family in 1898. Constant innovation, excellent quality and woodworking experience led them to gain a defined identity among contemporary design companies. Their collection, worldwide distributed, is characterized by original creativity deriving from the cooperation with designers who had never designed furniture before: Massimo Scolari, Léon Krier and Chi Wing Lo, along with Nicola Adami, Umberto Asnago, Antonello Mosca and Laura Silvestrini form the group of their designers. Almost unparalleled as far as range and variety are concerned, our collection offers not just products but a lifestyle with both autonomous and at the same time complementary pieces, able to create elegant and harmonious ambiences, sober and personalized, far from the habitual furnishing schemes. The Giorgetti lifestyle is dedicated to heterogeneous and cosmopolitan customers who share the pleasure of beauty and the desire to be surrounded by valuable furniture and materials.

In terms of square footage, ceilings are a significant part of any room. And especially in bedrooms, they're something you look at each and every day. Painting the ceiling is a great way to give any room a complete, more finished look.
Traditionally, white is the most commonly used color for ceilings. This is because it reflects light very well, and—let's face it—white goes with everything. So if you want a foolproof ceiling solution, white should definitely not be overlooked. However, do bear in mind there are many different types of whites—from subtly warm, to cooler and more blue-based. 


Choose a shade that will work with the room, and the rest of your décor. For example, a bluer white may be ideal for a bathroom, while a warmer white might be an excellent choice for a bedroom.
Contrary to what you may have heard, white can actually make ceilings appear lower in rooms with low ceilings, and make them seem even more distant in rooms with high, lofty ceilings. Based on this, there are some good general rules to follow when selecting paint colors for your ceiling area:
If your room has ceilings that are 8' high or under, paint the ceiling a shade or two lighter than the color of your walls. If your ceilings are higher than 8', paint them a shade or two darker than your wall color. 
Following this advice will help give an illusion of space to a low-ceilinged room, or add a feeling of coziness to rooms with higher ceilings. Leaving the ceiling white, while painting the walls with color, can occasionally make a room seem unfinished. Adding just a touch of color to a ceiling can bring a certain intimacy, as well as give the space a much more finished and refined look.
Depending on your room architecture and natural light, all whites may appear somewhat stark. To overcome this, and add a little unexpected drama, consider painting your ceiling a color that contrasts with the color of the walls (i.e. its opposite on the Color Wheel) Then finish the room with crown molding painted the same color as your walls, but in a glossier sheen.

the colours of Loulou de la Falaise

Article from This is Glamorous
Jewellery designer Loulou de la Falaise's paris home began, 30 years ago, as an empty white space. Today, it's, in her own words, "like a gypsy as it has a lot of colour and generosity. I want it to make people feel happy and surprised but at the same time it needs to be beautiful."
And it is.

Ralph Lauren Home



I was taking a look at the 3 new Ralph Lauren Home collections from over the weekend - has anyone else seen them? Usually I'm so excited by all the images that they put togehter! They have such a creative team - many of whom go on to become respected interior designers in their own right. But this season was a bit of a disappointment. All of these collections look like they're a pastiche of recycled looks - particularly "St Germain". Perhaps I'm being too critical, I'm sure it would not be an easy task to create 3 new collections per season (? or biannually - not sure), but this collection looks so re-hashed . Apart from the name, there is nothing that stands out as being french about this look either. It looks tired too.

Headpieces are going to be seen everywhere according to these magnificent layouts from September's Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. And what better way to infuse a little mystery into your evening? Feathers, flowers and pearls are just the start. Marcelle imagine the possibilities! So ditch the tiara and start to imagine yourself in something stunning and unexpected!
"You can do all kinds of wonderful things with hats. They can be dramatic, romantic, whimsical, or traditional -- and not in a stuffy way."
Some of the world's most fashionable women have chosen hats over tradition. The Duchess of Windsor wore a blue straw halo-style hat trimmed with pink and blue coq feathers, Rita Hayworth chose an enormous cartwheel, and Grace Kelly wore a Juliet cap that matched the lace of her gown
Headpieces above from Leah C. Couture Millinery, Edie Hats and Tara O'Callaghan Milliner.
Mix it up your look with a white feather cap a la Kate Hudson or sparkling fedora a la Sienna Miller. Stephen Jones and Leah C. hats and headpieces are shown.
"Pieces like these are created for women like my sisters with an established, well-honed sense of style who uses every occasion to express it!"
