A LOOK AT OUTDOOR SPACES & A FLASH SALE

by studiotullia | Jun 29, 2017 | DESIGN TRENDS, INTERIOR DESIGN, STUDIO NEWS

I am just so happy to finally be able to spend some time outdoors, dining on the back porch, watching the birds, spending time in the garden. This past Winter seemed like a particularly long one.

I’ve been looking for some inspiration for sprucing up the front and back porches. And what we really need to accomplish is painting our house this Summer. Picking the color ranks as the single most difficult decision we’ve faced as a married couple. I’ll save that for another post…

So, here’s some pretty stuff I found – hope you enjoy it.

What’s your style? Classic, tropical, botanical, bohemian…

SOUTHERN COMFORT

A historic Greek Revival home in Hot Springs, VA redesigned byAmelia Handegan. Love the scale of this home and can imagine it would feel quite nice sitting here with morning coffee or an evening cocktail.

BLUE & WHITE

A gorgeous Veranda designed by Tina from THE ENCHANTED HOME.

Below is a recent shot of her own terrace:

And a couple more from THE ENCHANTED HOME – Tina Marie has a way with blue and white and displays STUDIO TULLIA pillows so beautifully in her home.

OUTDOOR PILLOWS

We collaborated on an OUTDOOR PILLOW COLLECTION recently which can be explored HERE

Here are a few up close:

Next time you’re in Paris, you might want to stop by Ralph Lauren’s restaurant in this17th century hotel:

I love the tropical/botanical look also. STUDIO TULLIA has a few pillows featured in this fun article in ANTHOLOGY MAGAZINE:

I love the tropical feel of this board created by MOSSROOM.DK – check out her website: http://mossroom.dk/2015/06/05/botanic-living-mine-favoritter/

Just so colorful and relaxed. Beautiful mix of colors, patterns and comfort.

So, I hope one or more of these might have resonated with you.

Happy Summer and Happy Fourth of July!

Thanks for following along. Have a favorite outdoor space you’d like to share? I’d love to hear about it.

Hungary, India, France…I’d go anywhere with Wes Anderson

by studiotullia | May 8, 2014 | SUZANNE'S DESIGN PROJECTS

If you are a visual person, a person who likes to travel, you want to go on an adventure and laugh until you cry, you have to see THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL by Wes Anderson. He is such a maverick, so creative with his sets, costumes, storytelling and casting. I want to treat you to a few stills because I think they are so beautiful.

Yes, if I were an eccentric, wealthy, old widow, I would love to vacation here. In fact, if I lived in Hungary or anywhere nearby, and the hotel actually existed, I would put it on my travel itinerary immediately, regardless of its physical state. I love grand structures with history and romance – don’t you?

An 8 foot model of the hotel was created so that they could pretend to show it in its original grandeur. How dramatic does it get, up on the mountain top like that.

And then, there’s the cast, most of which you see again and again in his films:

A few of my favorite scenes/actors from the movie:

And other greats:

Lobby Boy played by Tony Revolori

So much gorgeous pink!

A few more stills for you and I better stop or I’ll give it all away:

And here he is, Wes Anderson!

Would you look at those gorgeous boho pillows on the chair behind him?

Anderson has a second home in Paris, besides his NY apartment. His films have such a European bent to them. Before writing Darjeeling Limited he traveled around on a train in Europe with a few of his friends.

Here he is at Deyrolle in Paris, the famous taxidermy shop:

So, let’s look at the color palettes of his different films, which all seem to have that over-saturated color, late afternoon rich sunlight quality:

And here are a few more movies by Anderson to see, if you haven’t already –

MOONRISE KINGDOM is charming –

THE AQUATIC LIFE is the first movie of his I saw. I laughed hysterically until I cried during that one also:

DARJEELING LIMITED I just went out and rented, which took me to Paris and India for a couple hours. And THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, RUSHMORE and FANTASTIC MR. FOX are on the must see list.

Anderson is such a talent, a maverick, my cultural hero. So needed right now as I wait for Oregon grays and rain to give way to SUMMER.
