obsessed with Mark Cunningham's nyc HOME IN THE SKY....

if you have been to my casa then you have probably thought to yourself..."good lord, those two sure do like to hold onto their magazines....wth?"  'tis true.  my hub and i love our glossy monthly tangible mini-books of inspiration.  although i am now at a point of actually RIPPING my Domino collection (gasp!) apart and organizing it per appropriate inspired image...we still seem to accumulate several, small colorful mountains of mags in our home.  what are you getting at, janel?!  well, this all being said, it is VERY rare that i have a mag hang out on my nightstand for longer than a few weeks.....i try to make it a point to change it out....but I have held onto the October issue of Elle Decor for the simple reason below.  I am obsessed with the apartment that Mark Cunningham did for model Hana Soukupova and paper distributer (not your Dwight Schrute) husband  Drew Aaron.  i can't get it off my nightstand because i keep picking it up and looking at the interiors.  I think what i love so much is not only the harmonious color palette and flow from room to room of blue-grays, Hermes orange, charcoal, navy, glossy white, etc. but is the mix of traditional architecture and modern/vintage furniture....mixing new fabrics and textures with custom upholstery and unique vintage pieces and lighting.  the super lacquer painted ceilings are luxe and fresh - perfect for this hip and handsome young couple.  all this genius interior work creates the perfect backdrop to their INSANE collection of drool-worthy art including; jean -michel basquiat, warhol, david lachapelle, donald sultan, damien hirst and numerous others....including scuplture by isamu noguchi....seriously?? AND she's a model?? i know.....right?


on a side note, my office was so inspired by the michel boyer multi-level coffee table in the living room that we actually stalked and presented one to a client that we were fortunate enough to install in their home.  a true gem of furniture that is not seen often in print or in person.  


without any narrative, please find below this beautiful home shot by William Abranowicz with interior design by Mark Cunningham and architecture by Michael Gilmore.
