Mad for Emerald, Emerald City and That Little Guy in Green

2013 has been declared the year of the emerald–and we couldn’t be any more mad about it for March! The rich, regal shade of green not only has Pantone‘s blessing, but will also keep us from getting pinched on Sunday. And color us crazy for noticing, but do you find it at all serendipitous that L. Frank Baum’s Emerald City made a comeback this year with Walt Disney Pictures’ “Oz The

Mad for…Creepy Chic (Halloween Edition)

Halloween is less than a week away, and while we’ve been laboring away at TypeA (hence the reason for our silence the last few weeks), we can’t escape the endless collages of ghosts, goblins, skeletons, jack o’lanterns and the serious spook factor of American Horror Story.

Mad for…Black & Gold

In the June 2012 issue of Elle DECOR, I came across Space Copenhagen’s Lunar cocktail table for Stellar Works.  The ash table, with brass accents, brought me back to my mid-century modern phase… when virtually everything in my apartment had to be filled with either authentic 1960s accessories or mid-century-inspired contemporary furnishings from Room & Board.  It also reminded me of how much I like the comb

Mad for…Moroccan

Color us inspired by Lonny’s May issue, which features a spread on Marrakech, but we’re craving the Moroccan style again. From metallic poufs and ornate trellis patterns to mosaic tile walls, we’ve been thinking about ways to can bring this style into our living rooms…or better yet…how we can get this bath (designed by Alberto Pinto) in our future dream home. Whichever comes first. Here

Mad for…Shades of Gray

Maybe it’s the country’s current obsession with a certain best-selling women’s novel, but lately we’ve been inspired by the color gray.  Not too bright and not too dark, it delivers the perfect dose of mystery, drama, coolness and warmth to satisfy our TypeA tendencies this week.
