Timothy Whealon Tag Sale Tonight!

Just wanted to give you a heads-up that one of my favorite designers, the fabulous Timothy Whealon, is hosting a Tastemaker Tag Sale on One Kings Lane tonight! It begins at 9pm EST.

Tim is selling furniture, art, and decorative objects hand-picked during his travels – some even graced the floors of his old Fifth Avenue apartment, which was featured in Elle Décor a few years ago. Over fourteen years of items amassed in Istanbul, Rome, Paris, and London will be deeply discounted for the three-day sale. It is a rare chance to own a piece hand-picked by Tim himself…here's a dose of what will be up for grabs:

Pair of "Rohe Rotan" Vintage Rattan Chairs
Vintage Indian Marble Elephant from Rajisthan
Saarinen table
Pair of Milo Baughman caned chairs
Pair of vintage x-base stools
Bolt of Claremont cotton gingham fabric


I couldn't resist including some shots from his gorgeous apartment when it was featured in Elle Décor...you can see the marble elephant in his bathroom.

Inspired by Timothy Whealon

Last week I ordered some things from One Kings Lane (will report on that tomorrow) and after hitting the "place order" button, I jammed around in the site's "Get Inspired" section. It is a big list of top designers and each profile includes a write-up, a few tips from the designer, and some snapshots from their portfolio.

Timothy Whealon was a notable favorite of mine. His aesthetic is classic, yet super stylish. Quite the chameleon, he is masterful with colorful patterns as well as blank-slate neutrals. There is also an innovative mix of lighting throughout his spaces, a facet of decor that I always notice. Be sure to check it his portfolio, lots of inspiring rooms await you. Here are some of his greatest hits...at least, according to yours truly:

Such a great mix of traditional and contemporary elements in this dining room.

Neutral doesn't have to be boring.
 

I love the furniture arrangement in this room.


Cool use of a bookcase as a room divider - I think this was from a smaller space.

I have a kidney-shaped desk/vanity that needs refinishing...I love this so much that I just might have to have a slipcover made instead!

Such a gorgeous bathroom.

This entry makes me green with envy...I'd die for paneling.

Boho-chic ikat sofa.

Pretty vignette...I'll always love white + pops of color.

The overhead light and the tufted/piped sofa are amazing. Not going to lie, the rug makes my skin crawl. I have serious texture issues and do not believe in using difficult-to-clean floor coverings.

I hope this little girl knows how lucky she is to have such an awesome room!

The structured canopy bed is so refreshing...the color combo in the room is too. I'm betting that the ridiculously amazing chandelier came first and everything else came together around that.
