Vincente Wolf - Charismatic Interior Style




Vincente Wolf - not only is he sexy, and talented, but he is a self-taught designer,
 author and has a flair that makes you want to dive into his beautiful settings.
Ode to Vincente on this entry






Having spotted him in Elle Decor, I haven’t forgotten his name or his style.
A peek at these delicious images and I guarantee you too will fall in love with his charismatic,
global yet transitionally unique style.






Amongst his accolades : Architectural Digest included Wolf in their “AD 100
and he was also named one of the top 100 designers by Metropolitan Home’s “Design 100”.  
House Beautiful named Wolf one of the 10 most influential designers in the United States
and Interior Design Magazine inducted him in its Designer Hall of Fame”. 





Not only is Vincente Wolf self-taught he admits to having A.D.D to boot! Even with that he seems, his attention
to detail seems effortless, having a knack for pulling looks together that are zen, clean lined and have a sense
of world travel with unique pieces that you know are not local.





Often his interiors are more white and and neutral, but above a punch of muted color.



He also has his own blog where he takes the time to answer design questions to boot! 
Got a question? 








I am surely not the only one that has noticed Vincente.
But, may be the only one who asks Vincente, will you marry me?

Get Swanky!





A virtual spin around actor Hillary Swank’s chic Manhattan apartment
 will fill you with a sense of elegance yet comfort.



These city digs, designed by Mark Zeff, are a study in mixing it up and a
 tool in how you can re-create this look by doing a high low trick! 
Truly a way to go for the average person, with a tightly wound 
pocket book like your and mine!



I can’t help but envy the vintage Moroccan pillows or Calvin Klein Home sofa,
 but don’t get too downtrodden, there are ways to get around the price tag.
With some ingenuity, you too can have a dreamy styled place!


How? Well, we can all afford things like this delicious wall colour by
 Benjamin Moore - Dark Olive, which drenches the walls in the study,
 or the floor lamp snatched up for a song at West Elm.


The desk space can be re-created easily using inexpensive do it yourself pieces from Ikea. I’ve seen something very similar there!
 Even the custom made paneling using re purposed wood can be yours
 for the price of a trip to a supplier,
or a jaunt to farm country to hunt for old barn wood.


See! You too can have “swanky”. Albeit, on a dime with some ingenuity mixed in!



Enjoy!
