Provencal Style in London

Happy it's Friday? So am I. This is such a lovely house. It is in London and looks quite old but was actually built only a few years ago. Decorated by its owners, Binny and Graham Hudson, full of flea market finds and vintage items, the house is warm and friendly.<br /><br /><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/London_0.jpg" title="" /><br />Binny Hudson is a stylist and florist and constantly takes beautiful plants from the small garden into the house.<br /><br /><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/London3_0.jpg" title="" /><br /><br />Old style furniture in the study.The armchair comes from a theatre and the metal desk is French. Steel beams reveal that the house is not nearly as old as one might think.<br /><br /><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/London1_0.jpg" title="" /><br />In the kitchen an old-fashioned butcher's bench, which is one of Binny Hudson's dearest treasures, is topped with vintage and flea market items. Framed chalkboards, one for every day. I love the kitchen door.<br /><br /><weekday binny="" designed="" has="" the="" doors="" are="" purchased="" at="" flea="" markets="" and="" comes="" from="" a="" disused=""><img alt="" class="imagecache-body_full" src="http://www.mixr.se/sites/mixr.se/files/imagecache/body_full/images/London2_0.jpg" title="" /><br />Subway tiles, white painted cabinets and island. Notice how interesting the collection of rolling pins looks displayed on the wall by the door.<br /><br />I would have loved to see the rest of the rooms but unfortunately these were the only photographs available.<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed this mini tour! Will you come back tomorrow?<br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.mixr.se/">here</a>.<br /></weekday>

New House Near Washington, D.C.

<div class="byline"> <div class="contributors"> Interior designer Thad Hayes spent about nine months detailing and designing the entire interior of this new house near Washington, D.C. Elegant and stately, lots of arches and bay windows and light-infused spaces.<br /><br />Some time ago I featured another house decorated by Thad Hayes which you can see by clicking <a href="http://inspiracionline.blogspot.com/2010/07/tudor-revival-residence-in-texas.html">here</a>.<br /><span class="c"><span></span></span><span class="c"><span><br /></span></span> </div> </div><div color="transparent" style="border: medium none ; overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" class="featureimg" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/12/hayes/arsl01_hayes.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 497px;" /><br />A soft palette was used throughout the house. A circa 1820 Japanese screen hangs on the living room wall.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/12/hayes/arsl02_hayes.jpg" style="width: 601px; height: 774px;" /><br />Golden Sunburst mirror above the fireplace. The French bronze fire screen is circa 1930s.<br /><div style="border: medium none ; overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/12/hayes/arsl03_hayes.jpg" style="width: 601px; height: 498px;" /><br />Two 1920s Moroccan ottomans share the sitting room with sofas and club chairs designed by Hayes. The lamp is a converted 19th-century English vase.<br /><br /></div><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/12/hayes/arsl04_hayes.jpg" style="width: 600px; height: 684px;" /><br />George III shield-back dining chairs.

A banquette runs along a wall of the conservatory.<br /><div style="border: medium none ; overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br /><img alt="" src="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/images/architects/2008/12/hayes/arsl07_hayes.jpg" style="width: 602px; height: 499px;" /><br />Joan Miró’s <em>Femme Mangeant Une Pomme</em>, 1931, hangs over the master bedroom fireplace.<br /><div style="border: medium none ; overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br />Hope you enjoyed this tour.
