Home Tour - Michelle Adams

I was so sad to hear of Michelle Adams leaving her post at Lonny magazine. 
I cannot imagine the magazine without her :(

I'm sure the new editor will be great but she's just not Michelle.

Over the years Michelle has been so kind to invite us into her various homes and
 shared her own personalised style so it is fitting as a farewell that she share her current 
New York apartment.

Home Tour - Ivanka Trump


I think we all fell in love with her old apartment but Ivanka's current New York apartment, 
shared in Elle Decor highlights design elements that work really well for a his and her apartment.

Located on Manhattan's Park Avenue, Ivanka took on this renovation for the 
apartment with Interior Designer Kelly Behun.

 



 

 

 

 


I have to say, I'm a bit of an Ivanka fan. And I'll tell you why :
  • Overall she's a businesswoman, heiress, model, designer, wife, mother and some would call her a socialite
  • She has her BA in Economics
  • Is Executive Vice President of Development and Acquisitions at The Trump Organization
  • She designs a line of jewellery with diamond traders, Dynamic Diamond Corp which is in their "Ivanka Trump" store on Madison Avenue
  • In 2009 she married Jared Kushner and in 2011, she gave birth to their first child daughter Arabella Rose

 


So they're the facts but what I really like about her is that yes she was born into wealth, she was set for the rest of her life. However, unlike many other heiresses Ivanka went to college, got her BA and worked hard to acquire all she has now. She's not seen in the tabloids as being reckless or a wild child. In every interview or The Apprentice appearances she always speaks and holds herself very well. She's quite a private person in such a high profile family and quietly supports a number of charities.


I just thinks it's refreshing to have someone who has so much and so much access to the public that she has kept her head screwed on and has what appears to have a happy and fulfilled life, 
one for which she has been able to create for herself.

Swedish Impression

Good morning, my friends! At first glance, this home seems to be somewhere in Sweden, doesn't it? It is actually located in the Hudson Valley, just north of Manhattan. Martina Arfwidson is Swedish and she came to New York to learn to sing. Here she married David Weiss and they bought and restored this 1800s home. Today she runs her cosmetics firm Face Stockholm together with her mother.
Tour time!

Beautiful Home

Got a few spare coins to spend on this place? It's only $20,000,000! 

This 6 story townhouse is located in the West Village of New York. Has 6 bedrooms, 
4 full bathrooms and 2 partial ones at 7,174 sq ft. 
You can read more about it here

So pretty though, I think I could happily live here just perhaps not for this much...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 




Have a great week

Fairytale Retreat in New York

An update to this post, dears. My blog friend Doina Manea told me she had seen an article on this cottage in the New York Times. There are more lovely photographs and you can real all about the making of this cottage. Here is the link.

Located near the Catskill Mountains in the state of New York, this 10 square metre hut served as an overnight cabin for local hunters in the 1940s. Laura Foster turned it into a mini Victorian fairytale retreat.


Den ombyggda jaktstugan ligger i en glänta i skogen. Björn och prärievarg syns ofta stryka omkring i området.








A happy Sunday to all my lovely readers!
