You know what is even more exciting than paint drama? Yesterday Robert Couturier left a comment on this post. I know I just casually typed that all deadpan like, but my heart is seriously trying to escape from my chest right now. The only thing keeping me in check is the restraining order that will most assuredly be issued against me should I become a little too rowdy whilst proclaiming my undying love for RC. Still, the man is a design god so it’s not like I can just pretend that I’m not scrawling “Mrs Robert Couturier” over and over inside my “special” notebook. Here’s why:
I am obsessed with his sculptural sensibility. The man understands space and how to create an element of surprise.
He knows how to make tradition fresh and livable.
He mixes and matches eras effortlessly.
Rest assured I am taking notes for my own suburban English mini mansion (all 2350 sq ft of it) — how to strike the balance between overdone and underwhelming?
I think an aubergine sofa may be in order.
Thank you, Robert Couturier, for making my day year.

Oh, that would make my life! How exciting. RC is definitely a design god. Lucky girl!
Weeee that is so awesome!
Yes RC “understands space and how to create an element of surprise.” And you sculpt words into beautiful poetry that I could read forever and ever. The pretty pictures don’t hurt either.
I just peed a little
How exciting!
Awesome! I have not heard of Robert Couturier so thanks for the introduction. Also, I’m new to your blog but it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites. I love your taste and your writing/approach is so much more entertaining than most. Thanks for putting all this great stuff out there!
So fabulous, but not surprising to this reader. Wearstler’s probably a fan, too!
looking at his website, turns out he did that cuixmala resort you posted a while back…or did you know that? still daydream about that place…
I had no idea! Although ignorant, I am at least consistent with my taste…
Good looking and well decorated lounge and houses shared in these pictures,.
Amazingly amazing. Dig the Kagan chairs.
Wow! Wow! Wow! So exciting. I just love Couturier. And that 5th photo from the top shows a perfect bedroom.
You’re surprised? I’m not. We all know how fabulous you are.
I love that kitchen!
Awesome interiors! This golden stripe is absolutely genius solution!
I am so uniformed and not in the know, but can tell he is a bigwig who knows his shite, as do you, which is why I’m sure he commented. loooove images 4 and 5.
The overhead lamp in the first image is to die for
Thank you so much for all these incredibly flattering comments. This is an amazing house and I was extremely lucky to have been working for wonderful, open, intelligent and most cultured clients, a good house is always the fruit of collaboration. Thanks again!
