This home is from Light Locations which is a web service you can use to find homes to style and shoot for magazines, movies etc. They do such a super job of photographing the homes available to rent and boy do they have a list of amazing places! This home below has the best kitchen...all brass and white with that superb stove! So love this location....go check out a few of the other homes on their website here...

Designer: Michelle James

This is the really incredible home in Brooklyn of lighting designer Michelle James. Once a fashion designer Michelle began the renovation of her brownstone in 2008 and what was a personal creative project turned into a career as an interior design consultant. During the renovation Michelle designed the many vintage style light fixtures in the home and her lighting collection was born. I find it so fascinating that this highly innovative and creative person has had such a varied career and yet it shows that in the field of creative work there are no limitations to what you can do!

So many gorgeous details in this home (including the lighting of course). I love how she has used the height of the ceiling to create drama with tall mirrors and the artwork in the hall. Simply beautful don't you think?

Interiors: Lovely for Rent

Trudy Crane June 25, 2013

I often look at homes on sites that are either selling properties or renting different homes for photography. There are so many creative beautiful homes on these sites and the spaces are often light filled with wide open rooms. I have seen some homes decorated in two or three different ways for different photo shoots and they look so original each time and the home takes on the feeling of the brand or product that is being shot in the home.

One of the sites I like is Light Locations. There are so many beautiful homes on this site and the decor is often simple and clean like this home below. What a perfect base to build on with lovely furnishings and of course there is the gorgeous architecture. Check that amazing mirror in the living room and the pale chevron floor in the kitchen..really beautiful! Here are One and Two more homes from Light Locations.

Enjoy!

Crystal Chandeliers

Trudy Crane June 1, 2013

What I like about crystal chandeliers is....well there is not much I don't like about crystal chandeliers (I like all chandeliers in general and have posted about them before HERE and HERE)....but what I find interesting is how they go in any space from formal and more contemporary to modern and vintage. I love them best when they are incorporated in the most unexpected decor. I mean you expect to see them in a more traditional home or with a shabby chic style but when they are in a very rustic home or used in a more industrial space with other industrial lighting, I am always delighted with the contrast. It is also great to see them used in an unusual area of the house like the pool cabana below. Love that extra touch of glamour!

(Great quality Endon Lighting chandeliers are available from Mail Order Lighting)
