Since the 70’s, entrepreneur Ian Schrager, CEO of Ian Schrager Company, has achieved worldwide recognition for concepts that have revolutionized both the entertainment and hospitality industries. His commitment to the modern lifestyle has been expressed through a series of pioneering concepts: The hotel as home away from home, the hotel as theater, "cheap chic", "lobby socializing", the indoor/outdoor lobby, the urban resort, and the urban spa. The result, a complete reshaping of the modern hotel from a place to crash to a place to experience.
The Gramercy Park Hotel- By Ian Schrager
Now imagine you can do the same to your home. Turn it from a place to live to a place to experience. You can and you don't have to hire architect Philippe Starck to do it for you. In fact, you can do it on a budget. The trick is to mix styles - Blend ecclectic with contemporary. Blend modern and antique. Don't build a hodge podge. Simply build an image of fun, an image you want to experience, a travel destination you want to re-live and design your home accordingly.
It is time to bring the great social experince back home. It is time to experience your home and not just live in it. It can be done. The Chez Moi team has done it in San Francisco.

Great concept! I love the plaza in Oaxaca, Mexico so I created a mini Oaxacan plaza on my deck outside my kitchen window and the sliding glass windows in the adjoining eating area. I look out onto a Spanish Colonial garden with traditional Talavera and terra cotta pots, abundance of color in flowers, bronze wrought iron and mosaics. I have also carried the same concept into my kitchen and dining areas with collections of terra cotta and art from Mediterranean countries. Expanding my theme and creating an indoor/outdoor look. Why not live how you want to live and experience your favorite locations everyday!? Leslie Moore Design Consultant www.colorandlightinteriors.com
