it’s Sharp: a life in full color

by laura on March 1, 2010

I enjoyed the article in this month’s Vogue (Tina Fey cover) about Christopher and Suzanne Sharp’s home in London and some background on their interesting life together. It discusses their travels in which they have purchased many of the eclectic items found in their home and the formation of the Rug Company in London in 1997. Their home is a combination of bold colors and funky geometric patterns.

It’s fun to see how Suzanne’s rooms evolve too. I’m so inspired by the green chest with turquoise accent lines!

What a lovely and creative home! A lot of good ideas here. I am even drooling over the Empire style looking green chest. And I don’t even like green that much! (I feel I need to scroll back and stare some more). And the rug company is fab. Happy new week, dear! ox Mon

Ohmygosh, Laura! that bathroom is amazing. The rug, the wall, the whole design with the floating wall and the tub – it’s too much! I love it. What beautiful colors in each image. And I thought I was a color girl!

I love the Sharp’s style, Laura. That Paul Smith swirl rug is my favorite, too! Have a great day! xx

These are splendid examples of color – and I would love to walk into that first room! You couldn’t have a bad day in there.
