You may recognize parts of this luxe Washington, DC home, designed by the very talented
Nestor Santa-Cruz, from its appearance in
Elle Decor Dec. 09. Nestor recently mentioned the home was also featured in the May issue of Lisbon based magazine,
Casa Claudia. It's exciting to see whole rooms and elements in this spread that weren't part of the Elle Decor story. The green walls above are a faux-leather treatment. Nestor is known for his talent in seamlessly integrating art and accessories and the placement of the Italian vase and the client's oil painting above the console is perfection to me. Nestor found this piece while in Argentina; it's from the legendary Paris-based firm,
Maison Jansen.
The room on the right never appeared in Elle Decor - love the bright contrasts of color against the white walls. Fab coffee table too!
The large pink ball is a great addition to this version of the study; the powder room with its patterned marble floors, inspired by the bathroom of French fashion designer Jeanne Lanvin, also makes a first appearance. (images of Lanvin's bathroom via Musee des Arts Decoratifs

To see more of Nestor's work in person, you can visit
his study at the DC Design Center Hall of Fame 2010 Showhouse through Dec. 11.
