It was very timely that on my show this week I did a British Colonial dining room for the Herman Family. A striped wall treatment, pops of cherry red accents and lots of travel inspired accessories makes for a vintage style Colonial space with charm and... 

Haute Hippie couldn’t be more spot on with their Dickies-slash-necklace inspired creations. Not really sure of the correlation between a Dickie and these embellished tanks but I suppose it has something to do with the neck. An Old Dickie The “dicklace”... 

My love of interiors and design began with helping friends and family style rooms for special events. Coupled with my favorite time of the year (Summer) getting prepared for some rockin’ parties is one of my specialties. I found some great products... 

Living in New York City for ten years has made me a savvy space saver. So when it came time for baby number two (due any day now) I had to get creative with our space. I transformed two closets into a comfy, cozy room for my little angel on the way. I...

I’ve been getting a few requests about how I updated an old Holtkotter Wurzburg Brass Chandelier (a very traditional style) on my show last week. It wasn’t a real Holtkotter, which is a collector’s piece and runs anywhere from $1000... 

I found out the hard way that washing slipcovers (which can cost a fortune, BTW, especially if you buy them from Pottery Barn) takes a slight hand and a lot of courage. Much like washing your favorite $400 set of lingerie from La Perla. Here’s... 

Repeated themes in fashion and interiors is not a new notion. What walks long legged on the runways of Paris often end up as inspiration for bedding, drapery, rugs and home accessories. What I like to wear is reflective of how I design my own NY pad.... 

How funny, after I posted my last blog “Mixing Old and New” I fell upon New York Magazine’s cover story “The New Old“. I have fallen in love with taking old antiques or heirlooms and giving them a fresh face. I like to call...
