When I posted photographs of designer
Norma Kamali's apartment, a reader asked what kind of finish I thought the ceiling might have, commenting that she loves leopard and metallics. And, while I can't be sure about the ceiling in Kamali's living space, I am
most certain regarding my feelings on the marriage of leopard and metallic (and metallic ceilings): YES. YES. YES. I'd venture to say they look better together than Jennifer A. and Brad Pitt in their prime, and surely, more stable a match too.
Actually, I'll lump tortoise right in there with leopard, and wood inlay as well. They're so sumptuous against a nice, grungy old metallic. My metallics sure
get around, don't they?

Thanks for the day's bling bling quotient! You and your mother make a great team. And by the way, I am a she and not a he. I hope that doesn't disappoint. What makes it even funnier, I am an almost 60 year old woman who loves metallics and leopard! Have loved your blog. Don't know if you noticed that LIttle Augury gave your blog a little PR. Hope new viewers come your way. You should do a post on your mother and tell others what you told me several posts ago about your background. I am so impressed by your talent.
How embarrassing... of COURSE it doesn't disappoint!! You're right, I should do a post on my mother. So funny— she, too, loves leopard and metallics.
And yes! I did notice about Little Augury. I was very excited and promptly thanked her in response.
Thank you for your lovely compliments, as always.

Lauren,
Thank you so much for the sweet comment on my blogpost!
And now I have discovered your blog! The post you did today was so good! I also love the leopard! The chair I am sitting on this moment is upholstered with a leopard fabric!
Thanks again Lauren,
Greet
I am blown away by your talent! You and your mother have done an incredible job in these photos. I've never seen such inspiring and exciting rooms as these before. Wow, you're incredibly talented!
And to answer your question: no, I don't think she actually has brooches on her shoulders, but I have so many brooches too that I thought it might as well work ;)
Have a great weekend xox
I am a huge lover of tortoise-looks wonderful with the cabinetry. A great looking bath-old? Obviously your talents derived from your mother-fantastic. Your painting is of the old school- In the most wonderful Classic-way.GT
Little Augury- The room is completely 50s, which is pretty funny, juxtaposed against all the tortoise, metallic and faux inlay! The tiles give it away, but I've grown pretty fond of them- they're unexpected in a way.
love the tiles-would NEVER change them. GT
Great information! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!
