Great Advertisements ~ Grace Home Furnishings

When you read and look through as many
design magazines as I do (I have an addiction),
you start to gloss over the not so exciting
ads in the magazines. Some, however, really
stand out because they are so well done.

Recently, a reader asked me about a small photo
I have under inspirational rooms to the left of
my posts. This photo is actually a room from
an adverstisement from Grace Home Furnishings.
The above room is one of my favourites from
their ads. I love everything about the room and
how well put together it is.

Grace Home Furnishings in L.A. Grace

is the late dog of the owners.

You can see Grace in many

of their advertisements.

These turquoise rooms are currently

used on their website. Even their products

are beautifully photographed.

This is a photo from one of the latest

ad they've been running in some of the

design magazines. Of course, now that

I need that ad, I can't find it.

What do you think of their ads?

Chanel's 2007 Campaign ~ Keira Knightly

In the fall of 2007, Chanel created its most expensive

campaign ever. Yes...I'm still posting on Chanel - I promise

it will be my last post on it for a while.

The campaign was shot in Coco Chanel's apartment

above her flagship shop in Paris - steps away from the

Hotel Ritz Paris.

Keira Knightley was really the perfect person to shoot

the ad campaign. I really love the way they paired a

striking red dress against the dark walls and fireplace.









I just love silhouettes.

Irina Lazareanu is the woman in the photo that Karl

Lagerfield himself took. Irina is Karl's latest muse.

I just wanted to show a photo of Coco Chanel herself

lounging in front of the same fireplace in 1959.
