I have done year end lists now and again, though last year I did not. (Did not stitch ornaments, did not send out holiday cards, did not, did not, did not.)

I don’t mean to imply that these are better or worse than any other, but they meant something to me.

It was a very structured and orderly process, if you consider sitting amidst a pile of magazines with a pad of sticky notes structured and orderly.

Don’t look too hard for a common theme.

They meant something to me.
Coincidentally there were ten rooms. I’ve drawn specific inspiration from all of them, but they appeal in the big picture as well. Six through ten tomorrow.
Blue table, brown chairs, classical print, green on the mantel and that light oh my yes…
All beautiful. Happy New Year!
Interesting to see the green paint on the door in the last image. Doors are getting so much more interesting these days!

We love that Brooklyn apartment by Nick Olsen. Also on our list of most memorable of 2011!
I am going through the same process, going through my European magazines, design books…I really need to be merciless as my bookshelves are totally overcrowded.
Loved the Eileen Gray space!
Happy new year!
Favorites= Eileen Gray's apartment and that gorgeous dining room mixing baroque chairs with the sapphire lacquered table and the outstanding Italian Neoclassical commode thrown in. Can't wait for the next bunch. Mary
Gorgeous Patricia. The last two, by Thomas Jayne, and Nick Olsen are my favorite!!

All beautiful but I was also particularly fond of the first. I know if our ski shack looked like that I would somehow be better on the slopes!!
All wonderful; I adore the rattan chairs and side tables in Stan Topol's office and Thomas Jayne's townhouse was SO memorable. And wow, the kelly-green trim in Rebecca Phillips's apartment – just so fresh!
It's hard not to fall in love with a black room. House Beautiful's May 2011 photo wins hands down
all so very beautiful dahhhling!
"Did not, did not, did not . . ." What is the difference between last year and this year for you?
Love your top ten list. Ann
