Ooh la la Olatz


I have longed for this room since the first time I set eyes on it in House Beautiful. The colors inexplicably draw me in and that bed. Oh that bed. The luxurious linens are designed by the lady in question Olatz Schnabel. You have more than likely seen her linens featured in many home decor magazines. I would love to curl up in a set, however, their high price tag would break the bank. My current bedroom walls are a tad lighter than those seen here but the purple and magenta would still look great.

You may be wondering who is Olatz Schnabel? She is a Spanish-born, Paris-raised former model who was married for over 17 years to artist (amongst numerous other things) Julian Schnabel.  In addition to having created her own line of silk nightwear and luxurious linens, she is now launching an interior design company, Interiors by Olatz. New York Times Magazine recently featured her King Street tri-level town house in SoHo. 

I'll take the sheets, blanket, headboard, oh, and that fabulous dress she's wearing (photo by Ditte Isager)
here that beautiful headboard is seen in her former residence at the controversial Palazzo Chupi
 Olatz Schnable in her dressing room at her new residence
tres French kitchen
18th century French doorway framing the back entrance w/ artwork by her borther
intimate garden area
the living room doesn't do it for me but I do like the Moroccan rug
here's that headboard again..a fiberglass replica of one in her San Sebastian, Spain home
wonderful use of a checker board pattern in the bath
great windows bring lots of light into the kitchen
Olatz designed the raw linen cerise curtains and the bed linens can be found in her store
another view of the dressing room....cute built out closets

love how the checkered floor contrasts the bold color used throughout
