Bustamante started his career in the 1980s as a sculptor and painter after studying fine arts at the Universidad Compultense de Madrid. He went on to exhibit in Madrid’s political capitol of Madrid and its artistic capitol of Barcelona. Bustamante eventually moved to Barcelona and finding himself intrigued by interior design, he opted for a career change. Eventually, he moved to Mexico where he lived for 5 years, cementing his reputation as a formidable international designer. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUGDjSsChI6plw6RG7bFT9YM7GtVFmnrkfzRVbHMDd8ctaxYsqfDUEyqSKEUybShMAmFVC14CAbkTnun0C9GRc7wG6p4eWHnstsN4xeQcQeirA2EE0Q6bEAmhlvF-NYSBxHywwBqPHlGk/s1600-h/luis_bustamante8110.png"><img alt="luis_bustamante8[1]" border="0" height="708" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNbSUOShkr0BAz_u__oiMsBiacjBdwS3rfBtAmAdCBRP963cpCSyleeyl_Eg_VUbM3UnY5C1MH0Edcf591bsFclhKMlSGGLJ-kDo1dX5tBazDWGHtWleKLQUHLi3pymAJMpdQRi9onYz4/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="luis_bustamante8[1]" width="528" /></a> {This space is one of the most modern in Bustamante’s portfolio. I love the custom bench around the fireplace.} In the year 2000, <a href="http://www.luisbustamante.com/" target="_blank">Bustamante</a> found his way back to his hometown of Madrid and established the design studio which serves as the headquarters for his business. Bustamante has completed both residential and commercial projects throughout the world. Think high-profile destinations such as New York, London, Miami, Spain, and Mexico. Bustamante’s work reflects his classical sensibilities. His spaces orbit around a perfect sense of symmetry and are imbued by Roman and Greek motifs—think striking sculptures, marble columns and plenty of Greek key. While Bustamante’s work is decidedly more formal and classical than what I typically gravitate towards, I was struck by the sheer perfection of his portfolio. Every space is just so fine. You can tell he uses the finest materials and every detail is attended to with the most precise perfection. Have you ever seen such polished, chic rooms? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGZXOx65tuRyVVYYEz7L83E-zeF7-vRPvbWigd9UKt4684ZFhGwQ-arTqlvd7AzxZ-xMKxx-UDx-dDq36Merw9bhOsykInQ2397vlTRmskZU5FJAOBm0Od75gAOzVXXmY5yKRSYSgFCJk/s1600-h/luis_bustamante16.png"><img alt="luis_bustamante[1]" border="0" height="415" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix2Jf2xlAOFZBHzQGDtB343bzYp3QbryyrK-8Jl6lIgDoZkVnnVerRsnhvRcRbt263SPDHJvHGOjZbO-Ge5PGxm9iXqpHaPA8wIiJQ-UX237cS7p_aG-YB1pJ7Negiop3ATw1Q5ee5pmzE/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="luis_bustamante[1]" width="620" /></a> {This living room is part of the same home that I posted about on Friday.

I immediately noticed that this home must belong to someone who loves to entertain. There is plenty of seating, an incredible bar in the background, and plenty of serving space. You may notice that appliances, aside from a pair of matching refrigerators are completely absent. Maybe we’re not seeing the entire thing, but after looking at this home on Bustamante’s website, I am not sure where there would have been room for a stove. Whether the owner cooks or not, I would love to attend a dinner party in this fabulous space.} <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMHwUv0DRtCeXuvsr-qLW69-HolBfKMRLb5AFSgVBqkQL4w-yDIw9JGuwX5jrThVAaTPqfhVSWMmQmzGnO1dHFALafiDvwzPcwvC_LcmN7YrYtiafKaBWMz3j64kl_Ns2EKHkEYJhSozdu/s1600-h/luis_bustamante716.png"><img alt="luis_bustamante7[1]" border="0" height="668" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdNydOldHWo59SlBgfc-NOu2HZ7IdaQ1ms92cBOap_Uwt2pzBJMWQdvn2yf667mfmMh3POHB7NBR7jPBD3Cub2ZKdqgU7wDDaJzX6exa1YE7lBlSpmZ1oCEbYKyUEOGSdR_Jiqmg2AnDa/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" title="luis_bustamante7[1]" width="527" /></a> {This was one of the first images that really drew me in and piqued my interest about Bustamante.

Beautifully Organized: The Lingerie Drawer

Hello my dears! Arianna of Arianna Belle Organized Interiors here! This week we're taking a look at the lingerie drawer. <a href="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beautifullyorganized-lingerie-ariannabelleblog.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="400" src="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beautifullyorganized-lingerie-ariannabelleblog.jpg" title="beautifullyorganized-lingerie-ariannabelleblog" width="600" /></a> A few tips for getting it beautifully organized: <ul> <li>Get rid of undergarments that don't fit you properly, are uncomfortable, and/or are worn out. In other words, out go the pieces that you never wear or feel good wearing. They're just cluttering up your drawer and getting in the way of being able to easily find the pieces you do wear. Bras in good condition can be recycled <a href="http://www.brarecycling.com/about.shtml">here</a>. </li> <li>Sort the keepers by type: bras, undies, camisoles, etc. </li> <li>...as well as by function: everyday, fancy, etc. </li> <li>You can also sort by color, if that's something you consider when selecting what to wear: nude, black, brights, etc. </li> <li>Arrange based on frequency of use. Everyday undergarments need to be the most easily accessible, so they should be up front or in the most easy to reach drawer. Pieces you only use once in awhile, such as for a certain occasion or with a particular type of clothing, can go in the back or in a less accessible drawer. </li> <li>Use dividers to keep everything sorted and in place within the drawer. Be sure to first look at what you have, and measure the height, width and depth of your drawer(s) before buying anything! A few options: </li> </ul> <a href="http://rstyle.me/eu5hrcc75e"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="637" src="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/beautifullyorganized-lingerie-ariannabelleblog-11.jpg" title="beautifullyorganized-lingerie-ariannabelleblog-1" width="575" /></a><a href="http://rstyle.me/eu5hrcc75e">interlocking drawer organizers</a> <a href="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/lingerie-drawer-dividers-ariannabelleblog.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2676" height="175" src="http://ariannabelle.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/lingerie-drawer-dividers-ariannabelleblog.jpg" title="lingerie-drawer-dividers-ariannabelleblog" width="600" /></a><a href="http://rstyle.me/eu6ptsc75e">linen drawer organizer</a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/eu6sa6c75e">linus closet drawer organizer</a>, <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00192631/">skubb storage set</a> ( Hope you found the tips useful!

Dream Home: Mark D. Sikes

Today’s “Dream Home” comes from the chic and fabulous, <a href="http://www.markdsikes.com/" target="_blank">Mark D. Sikes</a>. You may recognize his style from <a href="http://www.markdsikes.com/2011/11/17/our-house-beautiful-mark-d-sikes-part-1/" target="_blank">his real life dream house</a> which was featured on the cover of the December / January 2012 issue of House Beautiful. Mark went the extra mile and crafted three stunning residences for us. He loves his real home so much and truly considers it his dream home, so he figured why not go a little over the top and post about a ranch house in Santa Barbara, a villa in the Dominican Republic, and a townhouse in London. We can all dream, right?
