I am loving these D. Porthault linens

Mixing the Ikat patterned fabric on the headboard and soft floral on the linens is just perfection! Thinking a Hamptons summer home?

My view on windows...

I am working on a waterfront project that has the most incredible views to the Long Island Sound.  The client, architect and I have spent a lot of time making sure the windows are large enough and scaled to enhance their view of the water.  These transom windows are divine and have totally inspired me! The tufted sofa is making me sort of crazy too.

Favorite kitchen right now

Distressed cabinets, chicken wire on the doors, blue and white transferware, hotel silver and oh so rustic... LOVE IT ALL!!!

Aerin Lauder's Christmas Table

What could be better?  My favorite color blue and an elegant dining room set for the holidays.  Aerin Lauder's dining room from House and Garden 2007

Thanksgiving Dinner table

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is setting our Thanksgiving table.  I have been collecting china, stemware and silver for years.  We even have collections for all of my three daughters.  


I love when I am able to use my collections of William Yeoward Crystal, Spode China and Hotel Silver in addition to my all time favorite Asiatic Pheasant platters.  I've helped many of my clients also start collections for their home too.  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Happy Fall !!!

I have been so bad about posting lately.  Busy with lots of fun projects! This image makes me beyond happy!!!

J. K. Place Capri

J. K. Place in Capri is just perfect. 

Sunrise in Capri

The pool

Where do I start?  Of course the food.  How about the decor?  Beautiful lighting, incredible color contrast with white interior windows.

Enter the lobby.  I love the royal blue color on the walls with white sofa's and chairs.  I love the simplicity of white furniture.  We are working on a project right now where the dining room has this dark blue wall color.  We are using Hauge Blue by Farrow and Ball also using lovely white slip covered chairs, gorgeous dark wood floors and tables.

This junior suite has been reserved by my daughters as they love lavender.  Very China Seas/Quadrille fabric.  Look at the matching tile.  

One of the best views from the bathroom!  How good is that chair?

I love all the monogramming throughout the hotel.

A beautiful room where yellow is used perfectly.

This is on our list of places to visit for sure!
