Decoration Home Interior

The most stunning space on the Marina was the Owner's Suite on the back of Deck 9.  It was decorated by Susan Bednar Long of S.B. Long Interiors in collaboration with Ralph Lauren Home.  It looked like the interior of an elegant yacht but was also comfortable and cozy.  The bedroom was one of the rooms that had to adapt to the rules regarding flammable materials.  Susan originally wanted to upholster the walls in a heathered grey cashmere but had to find an alternative material.  The new ultra suede looks great nonetheless.  Owner Frank Del Rio and his wife were always out and about on the ship but if I had a suite this nice, I might never leave!

Ralph Lauren has a lot going on this autumn.  He has a fashion show coming up this week.  His Manhattan apartment is featured on the cover and inside the October issue of Elle Decor.  The new four story women's boutique will open across the street from the men's store in the Rhinelander mansion on Madison Avenue. And most importantly, the new Ralph Lauren Home boutique will open next to the women's store.  Until its doors open, we'll have to be content with ogling the new home furnishings for Fall 2010 online.  I am already loving the new Brook Street collection.  "The impeccable luxury of Savile Row haberdashery and the striking glamour of Hollywood's Golden Age intertwine to inspire the ultimate in refinement"  is how it is descibed online.  It also happens to look as good as it sounds.   Kind of makes me want to paint my entire apartment black.  Enjoy!
