Art in Design

03 . 03 . 09

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 […]

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!

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 […]

Tranquil Townhouse

02 . 24 . 09

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 […]

Berkus at the Beach

02 . 23 . 09

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 […]

Designer to Watch

02 . 23 . 09

The saddest part of the demise of Domino magazine was that many designers had already been photographed for the April issue which always includes the “10 Designers to Watch.” I was so excited for my friend Grant K. Gibson when he confided that he was one of the 10. Needless to say, he was over […]

After seeing Georgia Tapert’s store, I had no doubt that the home she shares with her fiance would be a chic reflection of her love of travel and her eye for interesting pieces and I wasn’t wrong. I also appreciate that she wasn’t afraid to mix in a few new pieces from places like West […]

I’ve said it a million times but the best part of starting my blog has been all the wonderful people that I’ve met and Matthew White and Frank Webb of White Webb have been two of the nicest! I met Frank Webb at the Kips Bay Showhouse last year and he was nice enough to […]

Stephen Shubel Design

01 . 19 . 09

It’s funny sometimes how you may see certain designs and not realize they are by the same person. I remember seeing the Stephen Shubel Design office, seen here, in the May 2008 issue of Domino magazine and loving it’s neutral colors, classical statues and French feeling. So I was surprised to see that Stephen uses […]

Chic Design Office

01 . 15 . 09

When Laurie Reynolds and I get big enough to open our own offices, we can look to interior designer David Lawrence and his new studio space for inspiration. The first design office I worked in was on the 4th floor of a brownstone and was such a mess that we were embarrassed when clients accidentally […]

Chic and Small

01 . 14 . 09

It’s inspirational, if not aspirational, to look at the multi-million dollar projects of the top interior designers but sometimes it’s fun to see how real people live. I mentioned that I was going to be featuring more original interiors and what better place to start than with some of the young designers behind the top […]

I’m so glad I posted about Fabrice Diomand recently because it led Grant K. Gibson to contact to tell me that he had been to Fabrice’s shop and it’s been love at first email ever since! Grant is not only the sweetest designer I’ve ever met (well, via the internet) but also fabulously talented! He […]

I first became acquainted with Ryan Korban and his work when my friends from Flair invited me to the anniversary party for Edon Manor in December. Seems Ryan is also a fan of Flair and shops their regularly and as not only an interior designer but also creative director of Edon Manor, he purchased quite […]

The Kenmore Arms

01 . 09 . 09

I, like many others, fell head over heels this week for the home of Lisa Borgnes Giramonti and her new blog, A Bloomsbury Life. There were only a few photos posted of the interiors but from what I could see, I knew this woman had talent and an interesting tale to tell and I wasn’t […]

Those of us in the design field like to joke that “decorating is soooo glamorous!” (Meant to be read with sarcasm!) And installations are the least glamorous but most satisfying part of decorating! I spend the day at The Bachelorette Pad installing the new furnishings and moving other pieces around. Well, I didn’t move the […]

Patience can be a virtue in the design world. Clients need patience to wait for furniture that takes months to complete and sometimes designers need patience to see the fruition of all their hard work. Such is the case with the new wallpaper line from Katie Ridder. She started the project two years ago as […]

It’s a new year and I have a new project to share with you! Well, it’s not that new but I’ll get to that part in a minute. When I asked my client if I could post about her apartment on the blog she was very excited and before I even had a chance to […]
