Antique Shops and Designers

Good morning lovely readers! I have recently discovered a new online magazine which you definitely should check out! Three designers are responsible for this magazine: Dot Dimiero, and her daughter Dana Aichler, owners of "Twenty Six Twenty" an antique shop and design studio for imported European antiques in Houston, Texas, and Alexander Molinello, a graphic communications designer and publisher.<br /><br />These are just some of the gorgeous pictures I've selected from the last issue. The link to the magazine is at the end of this post.<br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=A.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/A.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 424px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=B.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/B.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 806px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=D.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/D.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 773px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=G.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/G.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 425px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=J.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/J.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 866px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=C.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/C.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 799px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=E.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/E.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 840px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=H.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/H.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 856px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=F.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/F.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 866px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=I.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/I.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 841px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/?action=view&current=K.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac147/Imkifus/K.jpg" style="width: 655px; height: 854px;" /></a><br /><br />So beautiful!<br />All images from <a href="http://www.antiqueshopsanddesigners.com/">here</a>.

Manor in Denmark

Hello, dear readers. Friday already! My mother is coming on Sunday to stay with us for a month and I have quite a number of things to do yet before she arrives. So, before I get moving here is today's tour for you.<br />Anette and Heine Robert Dahl used to live in apartments in Copenhagen. In the spring of 2009 they moved to Gelskov. Here they live in this Manor on Funen where they also hold exhibitions, display antiques and flea market finds for sale, and they even run a bed & breakfast.<br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55506.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55504.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55507.jpg" /><br />Owners Anette and Heine<br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55508.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55515.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55512.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55519.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55516.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55511.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55517.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55518.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55513.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55510.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55509.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55514.jpg" /><br /><br />Remember I love reading your comments!

Antiques Dealer's Apartment in San Telmo

Good Saturday morning my sweet readers!<br />I'm sure this post will bring about as many interesting reactions as the one I did on Iris Apfel's apartment <a href="http://inspiracionline.blogspot.com/2011/05/celebrity-home-iris-apfel.html">here</a>. <br /><br />This particular apartment is located in San Telmo, the oldest neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, characterized by its well-preserved colonial buildings. It belongs to antiques dealer Silvia Petroccia, and it is in the same building and right above her antiques shop.<br /><br />I would love to hear your thoughts on Silvia's apartment and her unusual style! <br /><img alt="Silvia Petroccia " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/silvia-petroccia/13227051-1-ita-IT/Silvia-Petroccia_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 506px;" title="Silvia Petroccia " /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/casa-a-buenos-aires/13227056-1-ita-IT/Casa-a-Buenos-Aires_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 508px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="Tesoro barocco " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/tesoro-barocco/13227041-1-ita-IT/Tesoro-barocco_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 499px;" title="Tesoro barocco " /><br /><br /><img alt="Living " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/living/13227096-1-ita-IT/Living_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 490px;" title="Living " /><br /><br /><img alt="Divano " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/divano/13227036-1-ita-IT/Divano_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 504px;" title="Divano " /><br /><br /><img alt="Living " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/living2/13227026-1-ita-IT/Living_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 517px;" title="Living " /><br /><br /><img alt="Statua " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/statua/13227071-1-ita-IT/Statua_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 635px;" title="Statua " /><br /><br /><img alt="Sala da pranzo " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/sala-da-pranzo/13227061-1-ita-IT/Sala-Da-Pranzo_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 504px;" title="Sala da pranzo " /><br /><br /><img alt="Studio " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/studio/13227076-1-ita-IT/Studio_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 501px;" title="Studio " /><br /><br /><img alt="Studio " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/studio2/13227046-1-ita-IT/Studio_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 505px;" title="Studio " /><br /><br /><img alt="Riviste e cataloghi " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/riviste-e-cataloghi/13227081-1-ita-IT/Riviste-e-cataloghi_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 507px;" title="Riviste e cataloghi " /><br /><br /><img alt="Particolari" src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/particolari/13227031-1-ita-IT/Particolari_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 508px;" title="Particolari" /><br /><br /><img alt="Camera da letto " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/camera-da-letto/13227091-1-ita-IT/Camera-da-letto_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 500px;" title="Camera da letto " /><br /><br /><img alt="Zona notte " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/zona-notte/13227086-1-ita-IT/Zona-notte_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 501px;" title="Zona notte " /><br /><br /><img alt="Massaggi " src="http://www.marieclaire.it/var/marieclaire/storage/images/casa/advertorial/casa-a-buenos-aires/massaggi/13227066-1-ita-IT/Massaggi_main_image_object.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 503px;" title="Massaggi " /><br /><br />All images from <a href="http://www.marieclaire.it/">here</a>.

Antiques in Fontainbleau
