Designers at Home



It is so exciting that my longtime friend Ronda Carman’s first book Designers at Home is out at last. It is an insightful look at the Who’s Who of today’s top design talent and how they live and decorate their own homes. The beautiful photos and the breadth of designer tips for gracious living that fill each chapter are going to make this a must have for all design devotees.
Of course Thomas and I were very happy when she approached us to include both our city and country spaces in the book. It was a pleasure to work with Ronda on this level and we are so happy to be a part of her amazing book.


A peek at the opening spread for our chapter.

Designers at Home is published by Rizzoli International.

What a Swell Party

The Lenox Hill Neighborhood House annual gala was a success on all counts. We were happy to have been a part of this year's Veranda Magazine sponsored designer table event that raised over $1.3 million for the worthy charity. We were one of over forty amazingly stylish tables designed in keeping with the events theme "High Society".

 
Thomas and I designed a table that could have been called In Living Color. The tone established by the tablecloth was made from my newest fabric Thomas in a perky tangerine color. The festive pink napkins rings are vintage Vera. 


Vivid hued paper lanterns enhanced the playful tone of the table. Please check out the excellent coverage from the Quintessence and Refinery 29.

Thank You Architectural Digest


I want to thank Architectural Digest for including my hand printed Victoria fabric in the Discoveries pages of the March issue. It was a treat to open the magazine this month and find it there! Victoria in absinthe on ivory is one of my favorite garden inspired designs - it’s so fresh and crisp.
