Bill, my husband, and I went to Napa Valley for a wedding celebration and made it in to a much-needed romantic weekend. But while I promised myself, and him, that I would not even think about work, it's hard to not be inspired by such beautiful surroundings!
We spent an amazing afternoon doing some wine tasting at a place called Ma(i)sonry, which considers itself a "life aesthetic" and "living gallery". You taste their rotating collection of wines while sitting amidst antiques, beautiful sculptures, and contemporary art and furniture. For instance, we sat in a pair of 1970s Parisian leather and chrome lounge chairs while sipping our glasses and munching on cheese and nuts. You can see a lot of what they were displaying here on 1st Dibs. Their mission is completely in line with how I view interior design - as a living, functional work of art.
To give you a sense of how they set their space up, below are some pictures. Apologies for the poor quality, they were taken on my Blackberry, as I had to return my newly-purchased camera.
