On Thursday evening I had the pleasure of attending the opening of ELLE DECOR’s Modern Life Concept House at the new +Art condo development in Chelsea. The showhouse was comprised of two neighboring apartments with rooms designed by 10 of Elle Decor’s A-List Designers to Watch. Each designer offered their own unique take on modern living and I especially loved the living room, shown above, designed by Carrier & Company and the adjacent kitchen/dining area designed by Katie Lydon. The well appointed spaces flowed seamlessly together and felt fresh, effortless and totally livable. The ELLE DECOR Modern Life Concept House is open to the public over the next three weekends so you can have the opportunity to check it out for yourself! If you’re not able to make it to the Concept House  in person, below are a few photos of my favorite spaces to watch a video tour of the entire showhouse by Elle Decor editor-in-chief Michael Boodro click here.

  1. Interior designers are so focused on the task at hand that we
    often miss events such as this one for Elle Decor. I will be
    sure to help support my favorite organization Housing Works.
    I often donate rolls of fabrics and ” 101 accessories ”
    for the windows. I am continually amazed at the CREATIVE
    vision of the combinations they create. Makes you want to
    move right in. How about inviting interior designers to
    create a window composition once a month. Guest curator

  2. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get setup? I’m
    assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
    pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos
