A Peek At The Vision Board Inside Courtney Love's Tasteful Townhouse

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:20:00 EST

Rumor has it that Courtney Love has "ruined" her West Village townhouse. The property owner, Donna Lyon, claims that Love covered up vintage hand-finished walls: "One of the requirements of the lease is that nothing should be done to the interiors… Courtney has wallpapered and painted a large portion of the property without my consent." We'd argue that the soft blue hues are pretty gorgeous, and the folks at xoJane ask, "Does it look like she 'wrecked the decor'?" No, but then again, we haven't seen the lease. The tour of Court's home is really lovely — we love the pictures of baby Francis Bean and the Toddlers & Tiaras-ish portrait — but the best part has got to be a photograph of her dry erase board, on which she (or, um, an assistant?) has written: More »

New Princess Finds Castle Living Musty, With Tacky Decor

Dodai Stewart — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 18:00:00 EDT

Now that the Kate Middleton, the Princess — sorry, Duchess Of Cambridge — has moved into a royal residence in Kensington palace, she's begun to make some adjustments. The Brit papers do not take this lightly, claiming that she has "turned up her nose" at the mansion. They probably considered headlines like "Princess Hates Being A Royal," "Take Your Tiara And Shove It," or "Kate And Queen No Longer On Speaking Terms." You can almost sense the restraint as one pearl-clutchy paper reports: "Kate Middleton Redecorates 'Fuddy-Duddy" Kensington Palace." Mostly because she purchased candles. More »

Recliners Are For Men, Nesting Tables Are For Women

This article on "the new antiquarians" gives us serious apartment envy. But (sigh) don't try this at home: the people in the piece have been plying their aesthetic since long before it was a trend! [NYT] More »

Trying To Make Do With Substitutes

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 09:40:00 EDT

Decor blog Elements Of Style has declared Canadian House & Home "the official Domino replacement." The rub? In the U.S., you'll pay $5.95 an issue. Still, the interior photography looks way more fun than dry old Architectural Digest, which is what I've been getting. [Elements Of Style] More »

Hideous Kinky: Ever Been In A Bedroom So Nasty You Couldn't Have Sex?

Dodai Stewart — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:20:00 EDT

Of the many, many differences between men and women, the bedroom is one place where there are definite contrasts. I'm not talking about sex; I'm talking about the actual décor of the boudoir. From sheets to artwork, it seems that men are so much more likely to make horrifying choices. And if you check out these (extremely NSFW... or life) shots from Lurid Digs, a site which collects pics used for online dating and critiques the interior design (seen on Ephemerist, linked from Lady Bunny's blog), the interiors where these men are standing? Not sexy. Let's focus on the gentleman at left: More »
