Make sure you pick up the March 2020 issue of The World of Interiors to see the chic Normandy home of Tory Burch. The manor actually belonged to her new French husband Pierre-Yves Roussel but left a lot to be desired so Tory turned to Robert Kime to help pull it together. I was a […]
Most private clubs have a strict “no photos” policy. I was so afraid of getting my hosts kicked out of 5 Hertford in London that I didn’t dare pull out my camera, not even in the loo. Now, the pink ladies lounge of Annabel’s club is the most posted room on Instagram and the entire club […]
Even if you’ve never been to Petersham Nurseries, chances are that you’ve heard of it. It was bought the by Gael and Francesco Boglione after Mick Jagger suggested they see the property. I’ve never seen photos of Petersham House until I opened the January 2017 issue of World of Interiors. I was wondering why it […]
A goal for many each New Year’s is to declutter and minimize. While I was getting a head start on that stack of World of Interiors magazines, I came across this minimally inspiring home in Berlin again. The space belongs to freelance luxury design consultant Gerald Schmorl and while I posted it over a year ago, […]
I cleaned out more stacks of magazines this weekend. This included the sacrilegious task of getting rid of old issues of World of Interiors. If I had the room, I’d keep them forever but it’s much easier to refer to the back issues online where they take up no space in ones apartment. In the November […]
For some reason, I thought I would be able to get work done while I am in Miami. I see how silly that was now. Things have been crazy here so I will resume with my holiday gift guides on Sunday when I’m back in New York. Until then, I leave you with this amazing […]
We’ve all seen photos of Pauline de Rothschild’s home in Paris but the November 2014 issue of World of Interiors has some that have never been seen before. I didn’t realize that the ground floor apartment was only four rooms and that Pauline designed quite a few pieces of the furniture including the steel and brass […]
I was very excited to read today that the New York home of Vogue editor Hamish Bowles is featured on and in the November 2014 issue of World of Interiors. The apartment was designed by Studio Peregalli and looks just as colorful as his old apartment but also more English. I don’t think it’s out yet here […]
Brass has been hot since Jenna Lyons used it in her brownstone bathroom but it really seems to be becoming less of a trend and more of a classic. I just realized this morning that I posted it in the home of Joseph Dirand (more of an antiqued brass in the kitchen) this week and […]
As much as I loved being away and warm, I was very excited to pick up all the February magazines at my favorite newsstand yesterday. My best being the new World of Interiors featuring the Paris apartment of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Yvan Attal. The multi-level apartment was designed by antiques dealer Florence Lopez over a […]
Each of us on Thursday’s panel discussion worked independently so it was a fun surprise when Sara Ruffin Costello and I both included London interior designer Veere Grenney in our slides. His old London home (see it here) is still one of my all time favorite interiors and the new home he shares with David […]
When I first saw the photo above in World of Interiors, I immediately thought of the whimsical windows of Bergdorf Goodman so it seemed like the perfect follow up. The unicorns reside in the Chateau de la Goujeonnerie outside of La Rochelle, France. It was renovated and decorated by the three creative men behind Les Trois […]
Thank you for all the anniversary comments and emails as well as new apartment well wishes. I know everyone is anxious to see photos but my new place is definitely not ready for its close up. Even though the owner had the apartment painted in my choice of colors, the kitchen needed a little revision. […]
The photo from David Hicks’s London apartment in my last post reminded me that his son Ashley Hicks‘s Oxfordshire home is featured in the new January 2011 issue of World of Interiors magazine. I don’t normally post bathrooms first but since it’s on the cover, I figured it was appropriate. These photos are from the Ashley Hicks website […]
I’m being a busy little bee working on my client projects getting quotes so I hope you’ll forgive me for a short post. After seeing the photo of me in Paris yesterday, I thought it might be fitting to post an apartment in Paris. Hamish Bowles is an Englishman living in New York working for […]
