Leopard and Turquoise and Lacquer, Oh My!

I loved seeing Veronica Swanson Beard's apartment in Harper's Bazaar so much that I just had to share the photos with you here. In the article about Beard (one of the stylish designers behind the label Veronica Beard), she talks about her love of color and how it had to play a major role in her home. She enlisted famed designer Thomas Britt to execute her exuberant vision for the 4,000 square foot, three-floor Greenwich Village apartment that includes a stunning rooftop terrace (gasp). Throughout the not-so-humble abode there are bold, exotic touches like animal prints, Moroccan lanterns, and rich, shiny lacquered surfaces. There's definitely a "more is more" aesthetic going on and it's pretty amazing! Take a look...

So, what do you think of her place? I love all of the super-saturated colors and the black and white striped walls were a favorite element too. The fashion featured in the spread isn't too shabby either, right? I adore the blue Oscar de la Renta dress that Veronica is wearing in the photo on the terrace!

  3. Yep. That place is definitely to die for! That kitchen, the rooftop, the lacquered walls, the kilim rugs, the satin seating! And those gowns! "Oh my" is very well said!

  6. I love turquoise and I love leopard, but while the bones of that apartment are great, only the library and possibly the bedroom appeal to me. (Maybe it's my monitor, but the shade of the walls is almost identical to the color of scrubs.)
