interiors – THE MC EDIT

January 25, 2021 No Comments

Do you feel like you’ve watched everything on Netflix worth binging? Same. So, recently I turned to YouTube. I started with Architectural Digest home tours, it’s basically MTV cribs for glamorous grown ups. Dakota Johnson and Lenny Kravtiz are by far by favorites. Then to my delight, it led me to the Vogue Paris YouTube channel which has been my favorite discovery of 2021. I just can’t figure out why the French are so damn chic! It’s in their genes, and they all wear the best jeans.

Anyways, it led me to discover Nina Koltchitskaia, a Russian artist living in Paris with her composer husband in a tres romantique petit apartment. Her paintings have a Van Gogh like color palette with touches of Matisse figure drawings. However, her art was not the thing that stood out to me most, it was her unbelievable Parisienne style. Watch her apartment tour below!

This sweater above is Tricot, another amazing discovery to come out of this video. I need it all!

I will track this dress down to purchase one day!

Above dress is also Cecilie-Bahnsen.

Her Sea New York Sweater is amazing and jeans are Rouje! They will definitely be my next denim purchase when I have places to wear denim.

Below are the jeans she’s wearing in the first image. Never be afraid of buying statement denim – throw it on with a white tee or crewneck sweater and it looks like you spent hours thinking about what to wear, when in reality you just have that French girl je ne sais quoi!

Red Celine bag and Celine ring are all finds from The Real Real. A girl can dream right?

And now you know…

Design #1

My friend Kelly is a Boss B that lives in NYC. She has a gorgeous upper east side apartment with her husband Tim and golden doodle Dolly, but no time to decorate it. So, she asked me to help! I love to think about styling interiors the same way I think about my building my wardrobe, a mix of vintage pieces with functional classics and trend-forward accessories. She already had this gorgeous classic Arhaus sofa, but wanted everything else in the room to feel fresh and updated! We agreed that neutral tones with pops of color would be the inspiration.

I love to look at sites like Chairish, 1st Dibs, and Etsy for one of a kind pieces. CB2 and Lulu and Georgia are killing it when it comes to more modern functional pieces. I’m a huge fan of Sarah Sherman Samuels interior aesthetic and love looking at her portfolio for inspiration! She does an amazing job with high/low pieces and her spaces feel so livable. Her rug collection for Lulu and Georgia is simply divine. She’s a must-follow on Instagram if you don’t already.

Which design should she choose!? 1, 2, or 3?

Design #2

Design #3

Spoiler, she bought the coffee table from design 1, and the chair from design 3, so we’re working on filling in the rest! A great excuse to get to NYC asap to help pick out the finishing touches.

Do you have a space you need help with? Let me know how I can be of service! Shop pieces from these designs below.

Chic c’est la vie!
