Impossibly Romantic
It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you are gone.
When in Rome
Rome was known as the Eternal City even among the ancient Romans themselves. It was called so because the Roman people thought that no matter what happened to the world, no matter how many other empires might rise and fall, Rome would go on forever. Anatole Broyard wrote, “Rome was a poem pressed into service as a city,” and we’ve all heard the expression, “All roads lead to Rome.”
Runway Ready
Fashion has always been relevant in the world of interiors and as we continue to cross boundaries, the ideas seem limitless. When I think of fall, I think of Fashion Week. If you get the opportunity to attend Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC or Paris, you will see bold uses of textures and fabrics that explode on the runway. Why not bring the runway to your daily life with these fashionable designs?
The Mullin Automotive Museum
When was the last time you immersed yourself in genuine elegance? We’re not talking about a luxury vacation at a five star resort or dining at a fine restaurant. Nor are we talking about attending a red carpet event, wearing the latest fashionable attire, or being invited to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. We’re talking about the Art Deco era of the 20’s and 30’s that epitomized elegance. While the world’s economy was on the decline, elegance was at its peak. Beautifully designed creations by artists and craftsmen were proliferating and luxury automobiles were hand built and assembled for the very few that could afford one. The entire period bore fruit to a decadent lifestyle enhanced by the backdrop of a dark depression.
View From on Top
With a lush expanse of endless views, Manhattan is a sensational backdrop for any interior designer seeking to find inspiration. Though it’s not often that the clients themselves are the inspiration. Every client is as different as the projects I work on; in this case the client was a fun, laid-back couple who are extremely successful in their business lives as well as their personal lives. They are family oriented and have been blessed to have a large family with five children. Our job for this dream project was to transform a secondary home into a sanctuary that still reflected the comforts of their everyday needs.
