A FASHIONABLE DANISH FLAT!

Naja Munthe's modern living room

I like this apartment that belongs to Copenhagen based fashion designer Naja Munthe. Naja's design aesthetic for designing clothing and at her own home are spot on.

Love the use of the encasement iron framed doors and windows inside this 2500 square foot apartment.

This is my type of apartment.  Also notice the herringbone wood floors in the living room and dining room.  Like. Like a lot.

A huge bookcase with over 500 books provides for a nice back drop in the apartment's dining room.  Eames chairs surround a vintage black dining table. (above and below)

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Back to my weekend in San Francisco and the experience at the 49ers football game.  Highlights of game day were: 1)  hanging out with TE; 2) walking around the huge tailgate in the parking lot which was like a huge bizarre carnival with people with painted faces wearing red who were 49ers fans and others wearing huge slices of cheese on their heads if they were Green Bay Packers fans; 3) the jets flying over the stadium after the national anthem; 4) meeting and sitting next to Brenda and Jerry who have season tickets and who had a whole "game day watching" system down where Jerry had his binoculars and earphones and Brenda somehow managed to find a place in the stadium that sold her mimosas in a plastic champagne glass and she even had 49ers red gloves with fur around the wrists to match all of her other 49ers garb; and, 5) finally watching the very exciting game itself.   There was a moment that was less than a highlight.  A guy spilled a full beer down my coat while I was by myself getting something from the concession stands...I stood in the middle of the crowd with my bottom lip poked out soaking wet in draft beer and at a total loss for words...all of the super fans just looked at me as if to say "Poor thing...oh well...glad that's not me."  One lady passed by and actually said "Move out the way sweetheart, you could get hurt."  Hmmm.  Lesson learned...make TE get all concessions in the future.  That little mishap aside.  All in all, this was only the second professional football game I had ever been to and it was quite fun. :-)

TE took this picture during the national anthem at Candlestick Park before the 49ers game last Saturday! (above)
P.P.S.  Had a great time on Sunday.  TE and I met up with dear friend JO her husband TO and their 2 daughters at Bar Jules in San Francisco for a lovely brunch.  Then TE and I window shopped a bit in Hayes Valley.  Such a cute area of SF.

WHAT'S NEW IS OLD - A MALIBU BEACH RETREAT!

Encasement doors open to show off the ocean view
Encasement doors are flung open to show off this Malibu home's ocean view! (above)

A Malibu house...with ocean views...right on the famous Broad Beach.  A new home built to look old!  Owned and built by antiques afficianado Richard Shapiro, the home is a juxtaposition between old and new... from the purposefully chipped sandstone floors, to the buffed plastered walls, to the floor to ceiling encasement windows, to the modern swooping steel balustrade, this villa on the ocean is meant to look as if it was plucked out of ancient ruins with some very modern touches!

What do you think of this Malibu home? Does the combo of old looking and modern work for you? I happen to adore the courtyard and all of the steel windows and doors!

What do you like?

Happy Monday!

P.S. Sis DS is traveling right now (lucky her).  She texted in this photo from Morocco this morning. DS and my mother are touring Medina today and were in Casablanca yesterday.  So cool!  This photo below is a screen...one that allows women to see out but keeps them hidden from men! So interesting!

P.P.S.  Have today off from my real job...so will be spending the day catching up on all things COCOCOZY!  Looking forward to a little time to get everything in order before I start traveling for the summer.

P.P.P.S.  Oh, did I mention, I'll be in Atlanta next week for the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Mart.  Will be showing the COCOCOZY textiles collection at the Christian Mosso Associates Showroom again in Building 1 of the Merchandise Mart on the 9th Floor. Please stop by if you are going to be in Atlanta next week!

P.P.P.S.  Also, if you'll be in New York in the middle of August you can catch up with me at the New York International Gift Fair...come by there and say hi and see the collection.  This will be my 4th time doing the New York show.  I get so nervous and excited about going.  I totally stress out trying to remember all of he details.  Oy va voy...got to hop on it!  Keeping fingers crossed that I'll have a big COCOCOZY related announcement in New York in August...trying to get things in order.

P.P.P.P.S.  Hope you are enjoying July so far! :-)
