Dark Walls....
I can't get enough of them!!
Elegant, bold and slightly decadent, dark walls really take luxe to a new level(photo from Elle Decor)
Obsessed with a certain color? Try choosing something with a bit of that shade in the undertone, then bring out that color elsewhere in the room, as Aerin Lauder has done here with violet....it makes a stunning palette without overwhelming the room with one color.(photo from Elle Decor)
It's a wonderful way to show off gallery arrangements. The art breaks up the dark color, while the deep hue frames and brings attention to the art--a winning combination!(photo from Lucky Magazine)
Make it hi-gloss for a beautiful lacquered (and easy-to-clean) look in the bathroom(photo from Domino Magazine)
If you're interested, but it feels a little bit out of your comfort zone, start out with just an accent wall. Darks go well with pale neutrals, but beware of mixing them with colored walls: they will compete with one another.
Gorgeous graphite looks sophisticated and rich with pops of saturated brights...

Tolix
Designed by Xavier Pauchard in France in the early 1930's, the Tolix chair perfectly demonstrates the French design asthetic: simple, elegant, understated, and able elevate anything around it into its strata of high-design and beautiful taste.
A decorator's darling, the Tolix offers the perfect balance of design and practicality, industry and elegance. As you can see, it feels equally at home in a high-end polished setting as it does complementing a rough wooden table.

Idolotry: Vivien Leigh
Is there anyone more exquisite than Vivien Leigh?
Though she was more famous for her Hollywood roles and her love life, this English beauty was first and foremost a lady of the stage.
She was launched into international superstardom in 1938 when MGM's David O. Selznick awarded her the much sought-after role of Scarlett O' Hara in his production, Gone With The Wind, ending a worldwide 2-year search for what is still considered to be the female role of Classic Cinema (a search that included every starlet in Hollywood, including Lana Turner, Katherine Hepburn, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.)
For her work on the film, she won her first Oscar (pictured with David O. Selznick)
Twelve years later, she played literature's second most famous Southern Belle, Tennessee Williams' Blanche Dubois in the film version of A Streetcar Named Desire, for which she won her second Oscar
Though both married at the time, she and the and the legendary Sir Laurence Olivier fell in love while filming Fire Over England (pictured) together in 1936. They became the golden couple of their age, appearing together in both film and on stage, and capturing the public imagination with their beauty and ostensible passion for one another.
Her transcendent loveliness and natural poise earned her roles as some of literature and history's great beauties, such as Anna Karenina (pictured), Emma Hamilton, and Cleopatra.
"She also had something else: an attraction of the most perturbing nature I had ever encountered. It may have been the strangely touching spark of dignity in her that enslaved the ardent legion of her admirers" -Laurence Oliver
