Translation - Fashion to Home No. 25 - A Strand of Pearls

 



Anthropologie's BHLDN Gemma Pearl embellished jacket intro inspired this Translation - Fashion to Home. Take something classic, like a stand of pearls and translate it into something modern and I am intrigued, that is what a pearl necklace chandelier does for a room design for me. Its boldness stands strong like the grain of sand stuck in the oyster's shell. Mix it with traditional mouldings and my heart skips a beat. 




"My dream is to adorn the neck of all women around the world with pearls." - Kokicki Mikimoto








"A woman needs ropes and ropes of pearls." - Coco Chanel






"All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster's autobiography." - Frederico Fellini







"The pearl is the queen of gems and gem of queens." - Grace Kelly







"When I'm cold I just put another rope of pearls on." - Dorothy Parker







Be inspired to look at the lighting plan for your home and make sure it is translating into something bold!

"It's sad if people think that's (homemaking) a dull existence, you can't just buy an apartment and furnish it and walk away. It's the flowers you choose, the music you play, the smile you have waiting. I want it to be gay and cheerful, a haven in this troubled world." - Audrey Hepburn
