I’m lucky that we have so many wonderful places to visit within driving distance of New York City. One of the most buzzed about is the Mayflower Inn and Spa in Washington, Connecticut which I was lucky enough to stay at for a weekend earlier this month. The classic 35-room hotel which is part of […]

Before I left for Paris, I stopped by The Holiday Workshop which is a collaboration between longtime friends Celerie Kemble and Bronson van Wyck.  Most of you know Celerie is an interior designer and Bronson is one of the most sought after event planners in the country.  They’ve created this chic little holiday workshop with […]

We’re expecting a huge snowstorm in the Northeast this weekend.  That means many will be house bound with nothing to do but eat and watch trashy tv.  If you’re looking for an alternative, I suggest a little closet cleaning.  You could get a jump start on organizing your spring wardrobe and donate your castoffs to […]

I’ve heard that Bronson van Wyck and Lela Rose throw fabulous parties.  Stories don’t compare to experiencing in person the black and white extravaganza that the pair threw to celebrate Celerie Kemble‘s book Black & White (and a Bit in Between). On a rainy night, I headed down to Tribeca where I was blown away […]

While searching for a book on Amazon the other day, I came across a plethora of new books coming out this fall.  Good thing I just ordered more bookshelves.  It looks like I’m going to need them!  The first is Live, Love & Decorate by interior designer Maryn Lawrence Bullard.  I think most people were introduced […]

One of my favorite rooms in the 2011 Kips Bay Decorator Show House was designed by Celerie Kemble and her team at Kemble Interiors.  Due to the historic significance of the home, many of the designers were required to work around certain features and that included the wood paneling in the library. With a little magic […]

Celerie Kemble’s new line of fabrics are up on the Schumacher website and look amazing! I especially love the Hot House Flowers pattern in Spark as seen on the pillow above. According to the website, “Celerie’s look is based on beautifully refined traditional design with a reinterpreted and updated approach that speaks to a new […]

I knew Celerie Kemble had a new line of fabrics coming out from Schumacher but I didn’t realize she also had a book coming out this fall entitled Celerie Kemble: To Your Taste, Create Modern Rooms with a Traditional Twist. I think Celerie has a very pretty style that is always evolving and I look […]
