A New Home Part One

A client of mine recently built and moved into a new home. It's not just a new home, it is a gorgeous new home with a wonderful family style layout and exquisite architectural details. I'll start with the living room. I've posted about this chair before. My client inherited it from her mother. There are actually two of these amazing chairs. They are covered in a glorious cut velvet from Designers Guild. The window treatment is a silk with a printed floral pattern which is also from Designers Guild. 


 The white damask sofa, black painted coffee table and paintings all once belonged to my client's mother. Truly elegant.


 The dining room has beautiful double doors that look out to the front of the house. I kept the window treatment simple. I wanted it to frame the doors but not cover them. The walls are covered in a flocked damask pattern wallpaper.
 The dining room in progress.
 Donna sews and installs window treatments for me. She is a great friend and an integral part of my team.
  The wallcovering and the window treatment fabric are from Designers Guild.

 The breakfast room isn't finished but I wanted to show you the wallcovering. It is from Schumacher's Jaipur Collection. It is a hand printed paper. The pattern is a series of stylized flowers. The pattern, colorway and scale are perfect for the not quite finished seating area. The red lantern style light fixture is from Currey & Co.  I'll have another post in a few days with more of the stunning new home.

In NYC With Taylor Tomasi Hill

When I saw these photos at Vogue my first thought was, joyous color. The featured NYC apartment is the home of Taylor Tomasi Hill, artistic director for Moda Operandi and all around stylish girl about town. The second element I noticed and love is the styling throughout the apartment. It is balanced, fun, colorful and not over done.


 The colors and mix of patterns in this bedroom are dreamy.
 In general I'm over spaces with all white walls but this is an exception. The white walls look planned and perfect not like someone took the easy way out. The room is balanced and has great composition.
 The styling...wonderful

Even the condiments are fun and well placed.
The design of the apartment is colorful and stylish, it is also balanced and comfortable, an outstanding combination.

NYC Loft


There are a lot of  loft looks these days. They are often dark and gloomy. A loft is light filled from tall windows and has wide open spaces with specific areas. When I saw photos of this NYC loft at Vogue I knew it was the real deal. Now this is a loft. It belongs to Vogue staffer, Devon Radziwell and her husband.
This is such a beautiful space, from the sheen of the wood floors to the high ceilings and the series of tall windows, it is all amazing.
The loft is open, functional well designed and decorated.
The brick walls are a great back drop for the the smooth surfaces of the table, chairs, cabinets and counters.
A perfect open table for the living area.
There is plenty of storage in this office for two.
The bedroom is given a softer look by using carpet and bedding that adds charm and comfort to the space.  
Loft living may not be for everyone but this space definitively shows it at its best.
