inspired by: judy aldridge’s new home

Published on Feb 21st, 2012 by goodbone

One of our favorite mother-daughter duo’s is Jane and Judy Aldridge from the fabulous blogs Sea of Shoes and Atlantis Home, respectively. Hailing from Trophy Club, Texas, these ladies share a passion for drama in both their interiors and their wardrobes. Judy (the mom) recently moved into a new home and we just had to share some of her preliminary designs. Below, her dining room with a Warren Platner-esque dining table and some pretty crazy upholstered chairs.

guilty to get-able: serge roche inspired mirror

Published on Feb 14th, 2012 by goodbone

We fell in love with a mirror at last year’s Albert Hadley auction at Sotheby’s that neither of us have been able to get out of our heads since. It was a white composite mirror in the style of Serge Roche, the French designer from the 1930′s. Lucky for us (and you!) we happened upon a fantastic reproduction of this piece over at Ballard Designs for just $199. Now we just need some blank wall space! Below, Amy Fine Collin’s Park Avenue entryway decorated by Robert Couturier featuring Serge Roche torcheres, mirror, and console (photo from Elle Decor).

guilty to get-able: beni ouarain rugs

Published on Feb 7th, 2012 by goodbone

Traditional Beni Ouarain wool rugs have become as ubiquitous and classic as the George Smith sofa in high end homes across the globe. There’s no denying these Moroccan rugs made by the Beni Ouarian tribe are a fantastic and chic way to ground a room. Only problem is that they cost an absolute fortune! Even a small 5 by 7 can run you anywhere from three to six thousand dollars. So, for those of us who love the look but can’t get our hands on an original, Anthropologie has come to the rescue with a pretty great interpretation. Below, a room featured on the cover of this month’s Elle Decor UK which boasts both a Beni Ouarian rug AND a George Smith sofa!

Here’s how we’ll get the look for less:
