A Modern Ranch

2012-01-24T21:34:00.002+11:00

This 1956 ranch house was given a major renovation by owners, designer Barrie Benson and

her architect husband Matt. Both have a passion for modern design and a love of all things

mid century ... I guess this was the perfect house for them to work on.

This beautiful apartment belongs to passionate interior design enthusiast, Nina Bergsten. Nina goes to any lengths to furnish her home with unique pieces ... even hiring a crane and taking a window out to fit in a marble table top, or buying a mirror in Paris, to only then wonder how she was to get it back to Sweden, it was two meters high & weighed 60kg! That's dedication.

I've been invited to a New Year's Day lunch at the wonderful Le Pré Catelan restaurant in Paris ...

(sadly only virtually) with a great bunch of blogging friends!

but what to wear ...

I decided to go with the Giulieta polka-dot silk-crepe dress, Yves Saint Laurent shoes, Maison Martin Margiela

& Assad Mounser bracelets & a Anya Hindmarch clutch.

We also shared our thoughts on going forward into the New Year ....I liked this quote from Marc Hack

"Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can’t change.

Life is short, yet amazing. Enjoy the ride."

This post was part of the "By Invitation" posts, where we are given a topic to post on once a month. Check out the other members posts here.
