Bunny Chic

This Sunday is Easter, when our thoughts turn to spring flowers, luscious colors like violet, peony, daffodil and grass, and, of course, the Easter Bunny.

On Madison is celebrating the Easter Bunny with a collage of our own favorite “Bunnys”. Designer Bunny Williams has delivered timeless style with her own twist for decades. Celebrated artist Hunt Slonem has elevated the bunny to haute couture for the home with his collection for Lee Jofa. And, of course, no Easter would be complete without an Easter basket filled with beautiful confections that any Easter Bunny would be proud to deliver, specifically treats from Laduree.

May the Easter Bunny bring you a basketful of style. Happy Easter!

Renaissance Modern

I confess I am attracted to that seemingly disparate combination of baroque architecture juxtaposed against minimalist modern furnishings and artwork. Something about the almost religious grandeur of frescoed ceilings and walls paired with modernism is quite irresistible to me.

Case in point is the fabulous transformation of a 16th century church in Milan into a home base for the international architecture firm of Massimiliano Locatelli. The timelessness of the architecture mixes with equally timeless modern design to form a simpatico that defies the centuries of time in between.

I’m loving the way Locatelli has carved work spaces amid the vaulted coffers and pillers of the church.

Made in the Shade

Well, its the end of March and it might as well be the middle of summer here in Los Angeles. It’s in the 90’s today in Pasadena and my thoughts are turning to tall, cool, summery drinks and sitting beneath the shade of an umbrella watching the world go by.

Umbrellas are undoubtedly useful, utilitarian objects, but you know how I feel about that. They can also be incredibly glamorous and conjure up all kinds of exotic fantasies about far away places and the outdoor lifestyle.

On Madison has assembled an assortment of umbrella styles that can take you on vacation without ever leaving home. Go ahead, relax, and cool off.
