So here it is, My first Elle Decoration U.K cover, Such a honor to be on the front of my favorite magazine. This cover appears on the Jan issue and has just hit the newsstands. See also the story inside also that has been beautifully layed out. Many of you would have seen this story before as it has appeared in quite a few European publications and covers. This is the first time however that have used the blue office on a cover. I remember painting that color blue and as assembling the arrangement on the wall, thinking this would make a striking shot and low and behold it did! The room on the cover is actually tiny, 7x7 feet, hard to believe. 


Again thanks to Ian Philips at Tripod Agency who distributed this cover and wrote the great accompanying story also and Jonny Valiant who photographed the space and made it look amazing!

    Hi Mansy, thanks so much for your comment! The couch is from a company in Australia called Norman & Quaine (www.normanquaine.com.au) The bedside cabinets are vintage Danish finds, They are not marked, I got them in vintage stores as many of my pieces over the years! One of those stores is in New Hampshire, Just L, (www.yelp.com/biz/just-l-littleton) They have a FB page you can join and can ship. Hope that helps! M.

    Dear Marcus Hay,

    This is the THIRD time I have bought a magazine just because I was so enamoured/inspired by a certain incredibly gorgeous NY apartment - only to realise that it is a lovely variation on one I have seen already!!! (Inside Out, Elle Decoration x 2). Loving that new blue wall. ;)

    Here's some proof: http://sandraeterovic.blogspot.com.au/2010/08/scarf-madness.html

    All the best -- I look forward to seeing the next update!
    Sandra

    Your styling is exquisite! I just love everything about this apartment but I have particularly fallen in love with those portly white owls sitting on a shelf in your office. I hope you don't mind me asking but are these obtainable at all?

    Hi Emme, thanks for the comments! They were a flea market find, I think a local artist from the NY area, from the 60's/70's. They are not marked! Sorry, I know that does not help in obtaining them! They are super cute! Marcus.
