I had planned to work on this post from the plane yesterday but the wifi had other ideas.  That’s what I get for flying Delta instead of Virgin America.  But I digress.  I was catching up on my magazine reading when I noticed how much I loved Harper’s Bazaar UK editor Kim Hersov’s London home […]

One of my favorite things that have come about because of my blog has been my friendship with interior designer Tommy Smythe.  I used to watch him on Design Inc. with Sarah Richardson and literally laugh out loud at all his funny quips.  Now I get to experience them in person and this time on […]

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve never been to San Francisco so I’m getting excited about my upcoming trip. There are so many great interior designers in the city including Stephen Shubel. I was checking out his new website and all my favorite projects of his including this loft that also served as his office. […]

Getting down to Tribeca from the Upper East Side is always a struggle.  None more so than on Friday when  there were no taxis on the road due to a Muslim holiday and no downtown 6 subway trains due to an investigation.  But the Hearst Designer Visions show house was worth the travel effort. It’s […]

Of all the scenarios I thought would play out at High Point Furniture Market, getting sick did not figure into the mix.  A nasty cold has completely felled me and ravaged my throat.  Until I can get it together, I’m leaving you with photos from the townhouse Jeffrey Bilhuber redesigned for Trey Laird and his […]

I’m knee deep in preparations (styling, cleaning, hiding magazines) for a photo shoot in my apartment Friday.  That is definitely the reason for lighter posts this week. If you need something more to read, I highly suggest heading over to Lonny magazine to read the October issue.  It’s chock full of fabulous interiors including this […]

I live for the days when I find a new issue of Australia Vogue Living on the newsstand.  It’s always full of interesting and chic interiors and the September/October 2012 issue features my new favorite home.  I also found a few other pics on a blog that allow you to see a little more of […]

You really didn’t think I could post about grey and not use that title right?  It rained all day yesterday in New York and this morning is foggy and gross.  Of course that got me thinking about my favorite non-color color, grey.  I love all the shades and how well it pairs with brown and […]

Long time readers will remember my aversion to pink.  After growing up in a pink bedroom, I can’t even imagine ever living with the color again.  But just because it’s not right for me doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it in someone else’s home.  I don’t know journalist Alina Cho but I often see her […]

I love talking to other new authors about the process of making a book.  We all agree that there was a huge learning curve but now that we know what we’re doing, we’re ready to start book two. Such is the case with interior designer Amanda Nisbet.  Her new book Dazzling Design has just been […]

One of my pet peeves that I shared in the new issue of Domino magazine is when when everything looks like it was delivered from the same store on the same day.  You definitely can’t say that about the Tribeca apartment that Vera Wang executive Mario Grauso shares with Brood designer Serkan Sarier featured in […]

I’ve always thought Lake Bell had great personal style but now we get to see that she also has great eye for design.  Probably helps that her mother, Robin Bell, is an interior designer but the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.  Thanks to APT by LSD today on Vogue, we get to peek […]

You might remember that I visited Kendall Conrad‘s little shop in The Brentwood Country Mart on my last trip to LA.  Thanks to C magazine, you can now peek into her design studio and home in Montecito, California.  Just like her logo-free chic bags, accessories and jewelry, her home is pared down and neutral but […]

I challenged myself to wear more color this summer because that’s what every magazine and fashion blogger was touting.  The problem was that every time I did wear color, I wished I was wearing neutrals.  Sometimes you just have to stick with what works for you whether it’s fashion or decor related.  I’ve described my […]

Interior designer Patrick Lönn creates sophisticated spaces in which you can still relax.  Such is the case with his equestrian study in the Hamptons Designer Show House this year.  He said this luxurious room was inspired by the recent move of his horse to Lionshare Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut and even included his own Hermes saddle. […]

I picked up an old issue of Nuevo Estilo magazine while I was in Soho yesterday due to this spread.  The home is the Madrid apartment of interior designer Raúl Martins. It’s filled with everything I love, shades of white and blue with pops of black, a mix of gilt and chrome, classical elements, and modern […]

Today, I’m repeating images from my Chic Carriage House post of almost exactly one year ago.  Reasons: a.) I had a bunch of other things I wanted to post today but they all required editing photos.  b.) I ran across the original tear sheets recently. c.) This is one of my all time favorite interiors. d.) […]
