Fabulous Room Friday 07.28.11

<p><img src="http://d30opm7hsgivgh.cloudfront.net/upload/84225357_VujEW4LR_c.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" /></p> <p>Today’s Fabulous Room isn’t quite complete, but that is what I love about it. I find this image incredibly intriguing. Every last detail in this space is absolutely gorgeous, from the stunning herringbone floors and the beautiful mouldings to the floor-to ceiling window and the fabulous carrera marble island. If it were not for the sink in the island, I would have thought this room served as a study, a dining room or even a living room. I am incredibly intrigued not only by the sheer beauty of this room, but I can’t help but wonder how it functions as a kitchen. Where do the cabinetry and appliances fit into the equation? I just wish I could find images of the rest of the room. I found this image via <a href="http://houseandhome.com/blogs/house-home-daily/heavenly-herringbone" target="_blank">House and Home</a> which linked back to photographer, <a href="http://www.magnusmarding.com/" target="_blank">Magnus Marding’s</a> site. It turns out, the home is an historic British estate belonging to none other than <a href="http://www.studioilse.com/home/" target="_blank">Ilse Crawford</a>.</p> <p><img alt="" border="0" height="396" src="http://www.magnusmarding.com/begood/image_db.php?id=1620.jpg" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Click to show larger image" width="590" /></p> <p>It appears that the expansive room is divided into the kitchen and the dining room featured above. Unfortunately, I still don’t have a definitive answer as far as the cabinets and appliances are concerned, but my guess is they may be lined up against the wall on the left. Either way, the space is positively gorgeous!</p>

Zoe gave viewers a tour of her son, Skyler's lovely nursery and his fabulous closet and shoe collection. He's just a tot, but he already has an enviable shoe collection, custom-made Missoni and bespoke Gucci. I die! I don't know about you, but I am very excited about the upcoming season of The Rachel Zoe Project and seeing how Rachel deals with adding a sweet baby to her chaotic schedule. From the look of this video, she seems to be handling it all fabulously well! Until then, you can keep up with Rachel's happenings through <a href="http://bit.ly/q7qyoq">The Zoe Report</a>, her stylish newsletter.

Dream Home: Vanessa and Valentine

<div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"></div> <div style="text-align: center; clear: both" class="separator"></div> <div style="text-align: left">Vanessa is a blog reader turned friend who happens to write a fabulous blog called <a href="http://www.vanessaandvalentine.com/" target="_blank">Vanessa and Valentine</a>. Vanessa’s taste is traditional with a twist, which I love and can definitely identify with. Her dream home is absolutely stunning!</div> <div style="text-align: left"><img alt="Vanessa and Valentine" height="155" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YRajdjSfcgE/Tieo5XW9vEI/AAAAAAAAC20/HxP1vdl8SB0/s1600/vanessa%2526valentine2.png" style="display: block;
