quirky + delightful digs of the Santo Domingos


 





The NYC  apt. of Vogue contributing editor, Lauren Santo Domingo has all of the elements that make me, swoon? uh. no. not really the 'swooning' type. 'jealous'? nah, too catty.  'envious'? ya, probably, more like it.  













Located in the urban environs of the  Flatiron district the space has
that strong utilitarian flave that I will never get over wanting, 
filled with a mix of high end + low end quirky finds.











 Among the great works of 20th century artists { Salvador Dalí, Hans Bellmer, Aaron Young, and Max Ernst } sits this Lalanne Hippo....... It's A HIPPO THAT TURNS INTO A BAR. kind of makes a bar cart look sissy and ordinary.












This might be one of the  best uncurated/curated bookshelf I've seen in a long
time. Not a color blocked set of books in the lot.  A boom box and a Santeria candle: Never take it all so seriously
that you forget the humor and can't find interesting design in the
mundane.












Remind me to put my office in that walk-in dressing room
I'll have one day. I could hide forever, completely undisturbed in
silence. Also, remind me that I need drawers like this.....








 Oh, I how I love a home filled with rooms that continue to open up the more you stand and observe.
