I have no doubt that if Domino was still around, they would name Atlanta interior designer Courtney Giles one of their designers to watch! You may remember Courtney from her feature in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles and on Brilliant Asylum‘s chic blog and she just launched her new website, Courtney Giles Interiors, where you can […]

I always think it’s a little weird when an interior designer doesn’t have a website. How is anyone supposed to find them. In William T. Georgis’s case, maybe that is the point. He is very exclusive and usually only works with a select clientele. But these days you can’t afford to be that exclusive which […]

Between the time change and a busy weekend, I got a late start Sunday but I decided to stop by the Antiques Garage on 25th Street anyway. The early bird may get the worm but the late bird gets the bargains! I found some really great things including a first edition of Colour in my […]

My internet research often leads me to interesting places. One was a very old New York magazine article about the perils of interior design business. It was as juicy as a soap opera. After that, I discovered that the interior design duo of Stephen Sills and James Huniford (Sills Huniford Associates)parted ways in summer of […]

The fact that I, single girl in the city, am designing a baby’s room right now makes everyone laugh. Considering that this is really not my department, I’ve had to do a lot of research online and in stores. I had no idea that a crib needed so many accessories and linens and after seeing […]

I loved stylist Lili Diallo‘s apartment when it was featured in Domino and now I am excited to check out her work on her new website! It’s fun to see all the stories she’s styled that I didn’t even realize were her work. She has a great eye so I hope other magazines will hire […]

One interior designer who I think has a great eye for art is Atlanta based Suzanne Kasler. I’ve always admired her work but have surprisingly never profiled her on the blog. Her style is definitely traditional but never stuffy and I think sometimes that might be due to the modern abstract art that either she […]

I’ve had such a wonderful response to my previous Ugallery posts that I’ve decided to make it a monthly feature. The student artists deserve our support and especially need it in these tough times. There are a lot of new beautiful works that I love and I hope you enjoy them too! Cherry Blossoms Part […]

Katie Fine caught my attention when two of her celebrity design projects were featured in Glamour and she definitely looks like a young LA designer to watch. Her website just went up this weekend and I can’t wait to see what she does next!

As I mentioned recently, this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse is a tribute to Albert Hadley and last week the participating designers were announced. Mario Buatta and Charlotte Moss will serve as honorary chairs and in addition, Ms. Moss and team will design a three-room Master Suite. Some of the other designers include Bunny Williams, […]

I’ve been out shopping for clients lately and I’ve been noticing that everyone is ready for spring! One of my favorite window displays is at Bunny Williams and John Rosselli’s shop Treillage on Lexington Avenue at 73rd Street with it’s table set with blue and white porcelain and vases of flowers and potted hyacinths. It’s […]

In case you haven’t already seen it, Todd Selby has a beautiful look inside the Paris home of Jacques Grange at The Selby. I love the photo of him with the book in front of the Lalanne piece. And those who have already purchased the book are raving about it so start brushing up on […]

Normally I wouldn’t post two books in a row but since Jean-Philippe Delhomme created the advertising for The Mark Hotel that Jacques Grange just redesigned, they seemed to work together. I was at Rizzoli yesterday and happened to see the new Jacques Grange book by Editions du Regard and was blown away! I was also […]

For months I had schemed to get a shelter magazine to profile my apartment, but the morning they finally came was, unfortunately, the day after a rather successful dinner party. I have loved the work of the French artist Jean-Philippe Delhomme since I first saw his advertisements for Barneys and now I am in love […]

I’m not much of a morning person so I am glad I got up early this morning to attend a Designer Seminar Series event at the D&D building featuring Carleton Varney and sponsored by Traditional Home. Mr. Varney tells wonderful stories of his unplanned life as a decorator that includes clients such as President and […]

I was looking for a a living room concept recently and came across the townhouse that Nate Berkus designed for Katie Lee Joel and it reminded me how much I loved this home when I first saw it. While I enjoyed looking at the spread in Domino, I always liked looking at the photos online […]

I was checking out interior designer Nate Berkus‘s website and noticed a few new photos of a beach house. I posted them yesterday without knowing where they were from and in a funny coincidence, they were published in the November 2008 issue of C Magazine (more on C Magazine later) and now I can bring […]
