Brad Ford’s New York Pad


Interior designer, Brad Ford‘s New York pad is simply stunning. It feels a bit masculine for my taste but his eclectic style with the muted color pallet is something I am starting to gravitate towards.

His styling is a great example of practicality and design where thing look stylish and yet inviting and relaxing. I especially love his inspirational touches of adopting classic modern furniture in urban apartments.


The pottery collection by the window is absolutely gorgeous. While they look great individually, it’s amazing how beautiful they look together. It makes me want to go out and do more pottery hunting. You can check out his interview here.

Southwestern Rugs


I’ve been really into eclectic interiors that have a mixed style. Southwestern rugs such as navajo, kilim, persian, and turkish rugs are good examples that easily brings vintage-ish touches in decors. Somehow adding southwestern rugs effortlessly work well with mid century furniture. It may be true that these egyptian, boho styles are hip and really “in” but as you see in interior photos on internet, there are so many beautiful rugs around the world and it’s been like this for centuries. For me, visiting Ace hotel in Palm springs was the time that sparked my interest in these rugs. Here are more rug images I picked from my references.


Geometric patterns on kilim rugs is one of my favorites, especially the big and bold ones. The one I picked at the flea market (pictured with the snake plant) was originally over $800 but I got it for only $50, what a steal!


I found two quick points to differentiate between a traditional Persian rug and a kilim rug. (via: La dolce vita)

  • kilim rugs are flat-woven with no pile as Persian rugs do.
  • Because of the way in which they are woven, kilim rugs have geometric designs.
