a tiger sofa and more...

Do you remember Lee Radziwill’s iconic sofa that was upholstered in the most divine Scalamandré tiger-striped velvet? It’s legendary!

It was eventually handed down to her daughter-in-law Carole Radziwill and has been prominently featured on the Real Housewives of New York as the centerpiece of Carole’s SoHo apartment.

Well, this year, the shabby and well-worn 50+ year old sofa got a complete makeover and now lives on as a gorgeous blue sofa.

But the legend of the tiger sofa

lives on in Atlanta…

Enter Taylea Fowler,

whose obvious good taste quickly

caught my attention.

This striking blonde and her husband Robin

recently purchased this historic 1930's home 

in the Buckhead district of Atlanta, and

the starting point of the design

concept for their new home was a

Scalamandré tiger sofa, just like

the one that Lee made so famous!

And look at the rest of the décor!

Hello!?

This looks like my fantasy dream home!

More velvet anyone?

This little pink situation room

is the ladies’ lounge.

Her closet, amazing! 

And the stunning décor continues

outside in the pool pavilion.

Surrounded by nature’s pretty green,

how can anyone say no to sitting out here?

And sneak peek...

here’s the Fowler’s wedding photo

from their 2016 Mexican beach ceremony. 

Have a dreamy day…

ciao! fabiana
