Now that the calendar officially says summer, I’m all about summer related posts! I’m hoping my new adage, “if you post it, it will come” will bring about warm and sunny weather and what better way to begin that with surfing! Not real surfing mind you but decorating with surf boards. Seems it’s very popular […]

You know there is something wacky going on with the weather when it’s sunny and beautiful in England and cold and rainy in New York. Hamish Bowles has even provided photographic proof on his Vogue/Style.com blog, The Hamishphere. Seems he was visiting The Temple, a Palladian folly, that belongs to the British interior designer Veere […]

A few years ago, I found a bunch of old photos by father had taken on a few road trips in the 1960’s. They were a great square shape but had curled up over the years so I had them professionally scanned in and reprinted. Now they hang in my apartment where I enjoy looking […]

Say what you will about interior designer Kelly Wearstler but the woman has talent and I can bet that her new book, Hue, will be just as popular as her previous ones when it’s published in November. Hue will include photos of her much talked about new home in Beverly Hills, as well as her […]

There is rain forecasted again for this weekend and I can tell you that New Yorkers have just about had it with the weather. But instead of building an ark and collecting the animals two by two, there are a few other good weekend options that are perfect for escaping the deluge. Just make sure […]

I first met Monelle Totah, the vice president of design for Williams-Sonoma Home at the new store opening party last October and was immediately interested in her job. The product development aspect sounded so interesting and quite frankly like a dream job that few know about or even realize is an option when they are […]

The title of the first work above by Andrew Kuo is Late Hangover And/Or This is Why I Don’t Like Mirrors on February 17, 2009 and could pretty much sum up how I am feeling this morning! Just kidding! I really don’t feel that bad. Probably because they ran out of champagne too early. The […]

I didn’t have time to write a big post today because I’m off to get ready for the Whitney Art Party tonight. I can’t wait to stalk Bradley Cooper…I mean check out all the great art up for auction! Anyone who loves art should think about joining The Whitney Contemporaries. They host a lot of […]

The first time I saw style scribe Stefano Tonchi’s apartment on Studio Annetta, I was smitten. Seems Suzy found the place featured in Spanish Architectural Digest which everyone keeps telling me I need to start buying and now its also just been featured on The Selby. I’ve combined the best photos from each and now […]

Did you know that William Sofield and Thomas O’Brien opened Aero together? It was there that William Sofield met Tom Ford who tapped the interior designer to help revamp the Gucci boutiques and later designed the Tom Ford boutique on Madison Avenue after opening his own firm, Studio Sofield. Sofield and O’Brien used to both […]

When I started my blog, it was really an online inspiration album of tear sheets of all the interiors that I loved and wanted to save for myself. Since then, it’s become a whole lot more. Now, when I post something I always have to think about how it will be received or if my […]

I don’t remember what I was looking for but somehow stumbled upon a small snippet that announced that Thomas O’Brien is coming out with a book. It will be titled American Modern and will be published by Harry N. Abrams sometime in 2010. I hope it’s true because I am sure it will be full […]

Congratulations to Tasha Conti of Tuscon, AZ! She is the lucky winner of the $100 Ugallery gift card! Maybe she can use it toward this lovely painting by Colleen Wirz titled Tropical Jungle Pink!

The weather report is a little iffy for this weekend but if you are still headed for the Hamptons then you should put the Tastemaker’s Tag Sale on your agenda. The group from Domino is at it again this Saturday and if you missed their first famous sale, now’s your chance to pick up a […]

I feel like all it’s done in New York lately is rain so all I can think about is the beach and summer. That’s probably why this house in Southampton designed by Markham Roberts is one of my new favorites. I love all the shades of blue and accents of green mixed with the natural […]

I owe a big thank you to interior designer Charlotte Moss for featuring me on her blog Tete-a-Tete last month! I was very excited to buy the neoclassical cachepot I spotted in her Chic Garden Shed at the Housing Works Design on a Dime event and one of her employees recognized me and snapped my […]

The best part of any project is when it all finally comes together and we’re almost finished with the baby’s room that I decorated! I won’t be able to show you the completely installed room until after the baby nurse leaves but you can get an idea of what it will look like from the […]
