J’adore l’appartement d’Amanda Brooks. Son mélange éclectique de matières et d’imprimés.
Ses objets qui clashent. Ses tas de bouquins. Les immenses peintures colorées de son mari, Christopher Brooks. Les photos de famille. Les photos de famille taggées par leurs amis. La cuisine hyper claire et aussi le chien sublime. Ça sent la vraie vie !
Je suis sûre que vous connaissez Amanda, vous la voyez souvent ici. Elle a un style génial et est l’auteur du livre « I Love Your Style » et du blog éponyme, une mine d’or d’idées et d’images vintage.
Je voulais aller prendre des photos de son appart avant qu’elle ne quitte New York – elle vient de prendre une année pour travailler sur son nouveau livre dans la campagne anglaise avec mari, enfants et chien…
Je vous en reparlerai !

What an absolutely delightful set of pictures.
Is there anything more fresh than stripes and white? I love it! :)

C’est super toute cette lumière, et les couleurs des tableaux!!! Super.
I forgot to mention how gorgeous her home is – ….it is. :)

The blue and white painting on the wall is somehow very pleasing and uplifting. I love her dining table and the furniture in her bedroom. But as you said it’s especially cool because the interior really feels like it’s lived in.

Fantastic. What a great apartment!
I got to know Amanda because of her « Love your style » book, which I picked up at a bookshop almost randomly, and fell in love with. xx
PS: love the dog too!
Great eclectic design love it! And having animals in the mix always help too.
I lover her flat! => http://fut-il.com/il-porte/744060.html
Beautiful!
I admire her in the way that she’s taking a break from New York to spend time with her family. In the end, family is what matters most, imo.
Thanks for the refreshing photos! Also, loved the photo of you and Scott celebrating the news of the award together. Beautiful!

Toujours beaucoup de clartê dans tes photos, comment fais tu pour rendre tes photos si lumineuses? … Bon en même, si tu me l’expliquais je n’y comprendrais pas grand chose, je n’ai pas d’appareil photo et je n’y connais pas grand chose.
En tout cas les photos de Garance Doré on les reconnait de suite. Très belles photos pour un trés bel appart’:)

Love! I bought her book as soon as it came out, and now reach for it for inspiration. Can’t wait to see what’s coming up next with her :)

Beautiful pictures. Love Amanda’s style, in fashion and home. Thanks for sharing!
Cet appartement reflete la joie de vivre de ses occupants. Couleur dominante : orange, meme le chien ! Belles photos lumineuses.
Very eclectic mix, but works so well. Very light airy looking apartment. It’s good how some people can mix lots of different styles but still make a place look uncluttered. I love the geometric print chair on the 5th photo.
Would love to know who the designer is?

Great art collection! Adorable dog!
Sounds like a cool upcoming year for her- good luck! I love that dining room table. It has a vintage feel but the chairs give it a retro twist.

The apartment is super-cool, but the dog!! Ah, the shot on the sofa of Amanda and pooch is just lovely.
Love the fresh but warm palette of this interior. Thanks for sharing!

Le tee assorti aux oranges, j’adore ! et quelle belle luminosité…
Très joli appartement. J’aime ces « splashs » de couleurs et d’imprimés.
Et ces toiles, boudiou ! Magnifiques !

C’est comme une évidence :
tu parviens à capter ce je ne sais quoi dans une femme… un regard, un sourire… en définitive, tout ce qui fait qu’une personne est dans la Vie.
Chaque photo fait mouche,
tu touches le cœur des gens.

Ah son blog est absolument addictif et les photos qu’elle choisit sont démentes ! Merci pour la découverte !!! Ce chien est craquant pourtant j’aime pas trop les chiens ..
I LOVE her book! Had no idea she had a blog, what a wonderful surprise
Garance, je suis curieuse…C’est Diane Von Furstenberg qui est prise en photo avec Amanda en train de tourner les pages d’un livre, exact?
« she’s about to take a year to work on her new book in the English countryside with her husband, her kids, and her dog. »
– drooooooool
what a life lady! :D
Très jolie! Ça serait bien de faire un billet »career girl » sur Amanda! :)
Super apart’ où doit se sentir bien dès qu’on à mis un pied dedans, un chien trop beau et mignooooon.
En résumé, un apart’ de rêve quoi, tout est beau lumineux, clair.
(C’est donc elle la fameuse Amanda aux chaussures de malade Reed Krakoff que tu avais posté et au sac Philipp Lim.)

Great appartement. And lovely pictures as always. What an inspiration!
Thank you, Garance.
Love, Janine
Thanks for showing us Amanda’s apartment. I love her book « I love your style », so it was fun to see her interior decor style. The leopard print pillows are surprising. I do like the clash of prints, though. It’s a fun apartment.

Seeing the photos……for me there is tooo many pieces in the room…..it could be a vintage store…..less is more
Amazing photos! The decoration of her house is so chic, effortless and easy to live with! Love the color block paintings featuring turquoise, it adds color and light to the house. Like you said, something about her house just feels like it is how life should be

Love, love, love the photos of her apt, but most of all I love her Golden Retriever!
I love these photos – and the dog! She has great interior style too.
Hello Garance,
Tell me please what camera do you use to take these pictures?
Thank you in advance,
Love your blog!!
I think these pictures and her apartment are so amazing! It’s so cozy and light at the same time. And I’m a total sucker for cute bookshelves :)
bisous, Alice
I didn’t hear about this lady before, but she has an amazing teaste and a beautiful dog. I looked at the last picture for a long time. She seems like a beautiful person, too.
Garance do you have any idea where her white pants are from, or do you have any recommendations – I’m dying to wear a pair of white jeans!
truly a fantastic apartment. mine is tiny and cute but i would much prefer one like this with such an incredible family and life to go along with it. she is a rock star.
