On my borderline waste-of-time trip up to the Michael's, on the upper Upper West Side, I had a lot of time to read my Metropolitan Home mag. In particular I was most interested in the Dixie Chick, Emily Robison spread on her new loft in a former candy factory in downtown Austin. I usually don't like modern but I DO LOVE the Dixie Chicks so of course I had to read every word. I was most impressed with her designer, Joel Mozersky. He seemed creative, and really listened to his client's requests....huh, strange. Also, did I mention it was a former candy factory?? I'm SO IN.
I loved what he did with the bathroom. It's a perfect place for Emily to relax. And just as a side note, I used that same Agape bathtub in my town house design project for school! Nice choice, Joel!
This bedroom is still in keeping with the loft feeling but seems more intimate. Take a look at those fab sconces on either side of her bed.
Next I took a little trip to Joel Mozersky's website and was even more impressed and excited by his designs. He's even designed three of the Dixie Chicks' tour buses!
The ever popular green and white trellis fabric is used here on the interior of one of their tour buses! It looks so glam here.
Joel seems to be the hottest restaurant designer in all of Austin TX right now. The designs are surprising using bright colors and fun shapes. Aren't these cut outs so much fun? I hope the food is good there because it sure has a lot to compete with.
This has such a really glam tavern feel to it. The rich color of the cabinets and the red leather are super hot.
Remember what I said about fun shapes? I just love that huge circular cut out with the Greek Key detailing around it. Joel also designs boutiques in the area. These almost make me want to go to Austin TX; especially if there's a chance of running in to the Dixie Chicks. You much check out his website
HERE. Just in case you were worried, my trip to Michael's was a complete failure because I was looking for batting and they didn't know what it was and sent me to the cake decorating section BUT I stumbled upon the Martha Stewart craft section and let me just say that THAT was a complete success. She thinks of everything!

I spotted this amazing kitchen by Windsor Smith in the new Traditional Home mag, which I received yesterday in the mail. The magazine (I just started subscribing after buying it outright for countless months) is so full of fun things and such great articles that I had to admit that it was one of my faves now. Anyway, the kitchen, in brown, white and red has me staring. Normally I'm not drawn to red but this is so pretty--the light fixture over the island is especially captivating. The details are all attended to, which makes me love Windsor Smith even more.
OH. Here's the fashion part of the post! These yummy preppy little slippers are from Boden and look like a little polka dotted sweater about to wrap itself around my feet! 
How nice would it be to come home on a Friday evening to this bathtub? SO NICE. I bet that towel rack is a towel warmer too. Ugh, delish. By uber talented Caroline Paterson.
The black and white tiled floor is leading you into the rest of the house here. via Simplified Bee.
Again, the flooring here is so pretty that besides the light at the top of the stair, that's what I noticed the most. Light is really important in a town house too because you only get it from two sides unless you have a skylight. This is Miles Redd's hot townhouse.
Keeping the area clean and simple is quite appealing. Those stairs are so fun looking. Living Etc.
Architectural detailing here is really setting a nice scene and the super inviting half open door is QUITE intriguing. Whats behind the door?? Living etc.
I've found that a mercury glass lamp comes in many different shapes and sizes. This one is more of a candlestick shape, rather than a round ball but is equally as precious. This one is from Wisteria and is super well priced at $169. 
I love the urn shape to this one--so squat and cute! So perfectly antiqued, from Shades of Light for $265
I'd normally scoff at this and move on simply because it's from Room and Board, but I'm being more even handed towards modern things lately. I like it's clean shape, but I'd change the shade. The Aura Table lamp only $249.
The etching on the mercury glass on this lamp from Pottery Barn is especially charming, do you think? Hanna Etched Mercury Table Lamp for $159 and it includes the shade! WOW!
See what I mean? This room is so sweet, and soft with pretty bed linens and a sweet painted wooden night stand but the mercury glass lamp adds just a touch of glamour to this room. Designed by Gary Mcbournie.
