Voting has started for the Big Window Challenge & I'm sure you can guess who's getting my vote. ;) In case you haven't heard, the Big Window Challenge is a competition between Bloomingdale's, Apartment Therapy and Elle Decor to see who can make the best Bloomingdale's window display using a piece from their new furniture line. Eddie Ross (for Elle Decor) designed & finished installing his window, "The Modern Woman" Wednesday afternoon at Bloomingdale's. (All subsequent photos by Addie Juell)
The window is the living room of an imaginary woman with a husband & 2 boys. She's a hard-edged media mogul by day and a loving mom/ wife who loves to entertain by night & weekends ;) She's treated herself to this room and has taken a fairly traditional color palette of white & blues & injected it with bright pinks & oranges. She 's not afraid to mix old and new. She displays her collections without apology and has surrounded herself with the things she loves. I'd say the room is a bold modern take on traditional, but she'd say she doesn't care what it's "called," only that she loves it & it's very "her." (She's a very confident woman.) Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
I think my favorite area of the space just might be the bar that Eddie created on the shelf. (below) It's such a beautiful display and I am IN LOVE with those brass flowers!!! (Brass is back baby! ;) The mix of brass, blue & glass throughout the room gives it a sparkly glow... Imagine seeing it from the street at night!
And of course the cocktail table is set to perfection:
Loving the lamps! (below) The French man statue with his basket of pink candy is awesome. Filled with chocolate or standard mints it would have been fine, but filled with bright pink balls, it's funny & quirky. It's the details like this that make me love a space & make it feel personal.
And this woman is"real." Here's the evidence in her cast off shoes, the comfy throw and a pile of magazines:
So now that you've seen the space, if you have the time, please go & vote for it!!! You can also vote by texting "1" to 898-00.
The competition is fierce and Eddie needs our votes. (The voting is set up at Apartment Therapy where you have to login to vote, but I promise it's really easy & they never send you emails bugging you. It takes 2 seconds. ) We're allowed to vote twice/ day - once via AT and the other via texting- so I'm going to keep bugging you until they announce the winner on Friday, January 28th. ;) Anyway, head on over here & vote and leave a comment if you can. (I know Eddie would love your support.)
Dave & I will be heading up to NYC next week to see the BIG WINDOWS in person at Bloomingdale's. We're so excited & hope we'll be celebrating Eddie's BIG WIN!!!
