It seems perfect to follow up a post about all the new grey pieces I’ve added to my wardrobe, with a room of similar tones. Interior designer Patrick McGrath conceived of the space as a Men’s Dressing Room for the 2016 Holiday House chaired by his realtor client Jared Seligman. The soothing neutral space is […]
Some of my favorite Instagram accounts are based in England and I recently found a new account to follow @tradchap. Jack Laver Brister describes himself on his account as a “29 year old antiques dealer and gardener living in Somerset. Currently renovating a small Georgian town house in Frome.” As with many homes in the English […]
A vicarage in England has traditionally been the residence of the vicar or parish priest. They’ve since become home to lay people and many interior designers. Since they are much smaller than a typical English manor home, they lend themselves to a more relaxed and comfortable style. While I was on the House & Garden UK […]
One of my friends worked for Robert Duffy, the founder and deputy chairman of Marc Jacobs International, for many years so I always love seeing his home featured in magazines. His latest is Ferncliff Estate, an old Astor estate near Rhinebeck in the Hudson Valley that is in the October 2016 issue of Elle Decor. He […]
I always joke that I’m a Southerner trapped in the body of a Yankee. I absolutely love antiques, china, silver, and proper manners. If I don’t end up retiring to Paris. I will definitely end up down south and if I do, I hope my home looks like Julia Reed‘s. The writer and author moved from […]
There is nothing worse than being sick in the summer as I found out this weekend. While I continue to recover from being an incubus of viral plague, I leave you with a new interview with artist and designer William McLure of Birmingham, Alabama on One Kings Lane. It’s been so fun to see his […]
Everyone knows that space is at a premium in New York but that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style in a small apartment. While Cole Wilson works at One Kings Lane and had help pulling her place together from OKL Studio designer Alex Reid, it’s still a great example of how you can […]
As you know, I love visiting the flea markets in New York and Paris. I love searching for vintage treasures and antiques but I don’t have the time to go that often. (That’s my gallery wall of art above.) Now flea market style comes to me, and you, in the form of online estate sales […]
One of my favorite Instagram accounts is by fashion designer Remy Renzullo so I was very excited to see a profile on his Chelsea apartment on Vogue.com. He shares the space with his boyfriend Julian Taffel who works at Sotheby’s and has another great Instagram account to follow. Together they’ve created a deeply personal old […]
As with any interior design project, the 2016 Sotheby’s Designer Showhouse wasn’t quite finished when I stopped by for the press preview Friday morning. Luckily, I only live a few blocks away so I popped over Sunday to see the completed room and they were definitely worth the wait. The Sotheby’s Designer Showhouse was conceived to […]
One of the most beautiful Instagram accounts I’ve come across recently is that of Alessandro Michele, the creative director of Gucci, @lallo25. None of his photos are captioned but as we know, a picture is worth a thousand words. Many images are of his homes as well as his extensive collection of antiques and vintage […]
Autumn is always an exciting time in the worlds of art and design. Yesterday, I stopped by Sotheby’s to view the The Collection of A. Alfred Taubman which will be at auction November 4th and 5th. Now I wish I had a trip planned to London to view the collection of late designer Victoria Press […]
I came across the work of designer Robert Brown on Pinterest recently and fell in love with this bedroom suite. I love how the large room has become intimate with distinct areas for sleeping, sitting, and working. It’s also great inspiration for how to set up a large studio apartment. Needless to say, I also […]
As I mentioned, I’m getting ready for an exciting photo shoot of my apartment. I’ve been trying to make some changes so it won’t be boring for you. I’ve also been looking back at some of my favorite interiors for inspiration. I’ve posted Cameron Kimber‘s old home in Sydney before but it still looks so […]
It was five years ago that I first saw the New Jersey house of Dransfield & Ross founders John Dransfield and Geoffrey Ross and it looks just as good today. I love that One Kings Lane is able to give a more in depth look into interiors during their house tours than most magazines. And as I’ve mentioned before, […]
Belle Magazine doesn’t have a website but they do send out an email everyday which is where I saw the beautiful photo above. It is from the Sydney home of Ronan Sulich and Margaret Nolan and was featured in the October/November 2013 issue and was photographed by Michael Wee. It was also featured on Marie […]
I’ve had L. Becker Flowers on my must visit list for a while. Yesterday, I finally made a pilgrimage to the chicest shop on the Upper East Side. The most ironic thing about of L. Becker Flowers is that there aren’t actually many flowers in the space. Owner Larry Becker and his partner Roger Crowley assured […]
