I’ve been checking Bazaar.com every day waiting for these photos from last month’s issue to appear! Jaw = dropped when I first saw this gallery-like Miami penthouse of collector Maria Baibakova. Not only does this Moscow-born beauty know a thing or two about style, she’s smart to boot: art history degrees from Barnard and London’s Courtauld Institute of Art, and she’s about to complete her MBA at Harvard. But I think what I love most about this savvy 27 year-old is that she continually strives to promote art education, innovation and support through charitable efforts and her own non-profit, BAIBAKOV Art Projects. Now that’s a cause I can get behind…
Oh, and I honestly think this is just a space where she entertains art-world clientele/intellectuals.
Speaking of, did anyone make it to Art Basel Miami in December? I’m thinking a trip may be worth it this year!

What a spectacular home, you are right, it has such a gallery like feel. I love that neon ‘I promise to Love You’ sign.
Love this girl! Love her place! Amazing! Must pin and tweet.

That first photo just took my breath away. The perspective is fantastic…and that gray sofa….I can’t stop staring at it!
SO interesting! I love art and love investing in it….these pieces although beautiful in her space are a little too modern for me…but I am loving her couch and her with her with her charitable efforts. I do love it when people employ their skills, time and effort for the benefit of others.
oooh and Art Basel Miami…I went a few years ago…incredible! I would like to go back for sure!
That is some serious furniture and art. Wowzers. Oh to be young, rich and fabulous.
It’s really such a simple space but every piece of art and furniture can stand on its own! She and her home are stunning.
Wow, so many beautiful pieces!
I really love the oversize photo in the living room!!!
Wow, the art in her home is stunning! Especially love the neon lit love piece
Those petrified wood stools/tables need to happen in my own house someday. Love them!
Such a chic space! I’m dying for a fabulous neon sign like hers!
