Design Ideas From My Tour of the Ace Hotel New York! Part II: The Lobby

CasaSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

If you saw Part I of this slideshow (The Loft Suite), you know I was recently invited to tour the new Ace Hotel in New York. I've always been a fan of the boutique hotel chain's vintage industrial aesthetic, but I particularly loved the prep school/university library feel of Ace NY's lobby. Tall ceilings, original floor tiling, old wooden tables, giant columns, cozy, quiet seating, and a well-bound collection of dusty books made me feel like I'd stepped into a scene from School Ties - although Matt Damon was nowhere to be found. There are plenty of clever design ideas for you take from this lobby, even if a trip to the Big Apple isn't in your plans.

Design Ideas From My Tour of the Ace Hotel New York! Part 1: The Loft Suite

CasaSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

During a recent East Coast getaway, I was invited to tour the new Ace Hotel in New York, and I've got photos to prove it! My love for Ace is no secret, but until now I haven't had the chance to visit one. I hoped the hotel would live up to its good press and photos, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. As with the boutique hotel chain's other outposts, a campy, vintage-industrial aesthetic rang true here, and inspiration was also drawn from the history of the building and city. First, take a peek at the loft suite and get some clever design ideas for your home. Each floor boasts only one of these 825-square-foot corner rooms, so you're in for a treat!

YumSugar — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 06:50:45 -0700

Last week, US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack proclaimed Aug. 2-8 as National Farmers Market Week. In the past year, the number of farmers markets has grown nearly five percent, and there's good reason to get behind them: they're sustainable, community-driven, and personal. But perhaps most importantly, they're fun! While all farmers markets have a way with engaging all the senses, here are some of our top picks from across the country. Keep reading for greenmarkets worth seeking out.

This Just In: Natalie Portman Says Sorry, Charlie

CasaSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 07:00:23 -0700

Natalie Portman has put her 2,541-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath condo in Richard Meier's Charles Street building in Manhattan's West Village area on the market for $6.55 million, according to the NY Post. The listing for the property reads:

Spectacular Hudson River and park views are warmed by glorious sunsets in this exquisite home featuring 2 bedrooms, a dining room (or possible third bedroom) and three full baths. The Meier-designed expansive interiors feature luxury finishes.165 Charles is an intimate, impeccably run 16 story full service condominium, featuring 31 exclusive residences. The exceptional amenities and services include 24 hour concierge, state-of-the-art fitness center, 50' infinity-edge lap pool, and professional screening room. Private storage and wine cellar are also available.

The property looks pretty fabulous to me (views!), and like she's spent a pretty penny on the interiors; I can't imagine why she'd want to leave. I wonder if the listing was prompted by her hot and heavy relationship with Devendra Banhart . . . do you think the duo could be setting up shop together? Or do you think she's just downsizing?

This Just In: Amy Sedaris Is a Stranger With Real Estate Candy

CasaSugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 09:15:12 -0700

According to Big Time, funny woman Amy Sedaris has forked over $1.3 million for a 900-square-foot, 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo in Manhattan's West Village. She must have been charmed by the property, as she paid $50k over the asking price. The listing for the property reads:

Fabulous one-of-a-kind apartment full of original detail and prewar charm. Dramatic entry hall leads to rooms with arched doorways, over-sized windows and large proportions. Wood-burning fireplaces and double exposures grace both the bedroom and huge living room. Original beamed ceilings, floors, doors and hardware are all in mint condition. There are lots of nooks and crannies for special furniture and artwork. Located off Fifth Avenue in a prewar brownstone with both doorman and elevator.

I wonder if Sedaris will be making a decoupaged accent table for her new digs, or hanging portraits of herself by celebrity interior designers. The prewar apartment seems to have great bones, but I'm eager to see how she'll infuse it with her wacky personality.
