Celerie Kemble
I love this room designed by Celerie Kemble of Kemble Interiors. It, along with the rest of the Upper West-Side Manhattan apartment, was featured in House Beautiful in Spring 2009. The living room and casual dining room (I know--not casual by most standards) is comfy yet tailored; abstracts can bring such relaxed sophistication. I particularly love the couch area--see the gray walls?!
I was reading about the very talented Mrs. Kemble. With a designer for a mother, Celerie grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. She studied English Literature at Harvard. One smart cookie, after school, her bio says she was energized by a "complusion for design and home improvement." Since then she has been designing and has been featured in everything (look at her press section). She appears to be quite the inspiration.

Her design philosophy is evident in her work: "In life as in design, it is not perfection you should be after. There's beauty in the faded and worn, the well loved, and the sentimental...After all, life has seams. Your home should be like a loosely woven fabric of desires, memories, practical, notions, and even compromises." - Celerie Kemble
