OMG- my face is gigantic and on the cover of The D Pages, an online magazine about all things design! This is kind of insane. I’m still baffled that anyone anywhere gives a crap about what I have to say, let alone to make my face gigantic, put some Didot typeface over it and to interview me. I think we all have fantasies where we are starring in our own little mini-movie called Life, I’m just so shocked and flattered that all of you tune into my channel. THANK YOU!

Go read the interview HERE! 

In exchange for bringing children into the world, I’d like to make a motion, that every mother on earth deserves a gigantic bouquet of peonies delivered weekly to her front door. Even when they are out of season.

Have a great day everyone!

My friend, the über talented (and cute!) photographer Patrick Cline- one half of the duo that founded Lonny- saw this Sketch graffiti scribbled on a door while traveling, took a photo and sent it to me. I totally LOVE IT! I should print it and hang it somewhere in my apartment.

Patrick literally can’t take a bad picture… Not even of a door with scribble on it. And speaking of, this month’s Lonny is out and its packed with Moroccan gloriousness and now Morocco is officially at the top of my travel to do list. It’s  now tied with the Amangiri for first place. Maybe I’ll go this summer? That would be amazing.

Check out the rest of the new Lonny HERE. Have a great weekend!

 

New and improved living room for the house tour! More photos coming later… But seriously…. Gigantic paintings. HELL to the YEA.

What are you doing this weekend? Cause I have some exciting news! Remember when I mentioned cleaning up because “people were coming over”? Well, those people are YOU and various other New Yorkers and ladies who lunch via The Junior League House Tour this Saturday, May 5!

Um, yea… this is crazy!

What is the Junior League and what is their house tour? The Junior League is a charity, established in 1901 and made up entirely of female volunteers, that’s goal is to improve the lives of New York women and children around our city and in the greater New York area.

Every Spring and Fall, the Junior League selects a bunch of cool apartments and houses across the city for a tour. I’m so honored to be part of the tour, its kind of prestigious and my home will be in the company of some design legends.  Past tours have featured both designers’ own residences as well as their clients, including: Geoffrey Bradfield, Paula Caravelli, Alexandra Champalimaud, Robert Couturier, Laura Day, William Diamond and Anthony Baratta, Jamie Drake, Steven Gambrel, Phillip Gorrivan, Christopher Hyland, Eric Lysdahl, Todd Merrill, Robert Passal, Campion Platt, Jennifer Post, Scott Salvator, Hunt Slonem, Sara Story, Stephanie Stokes, Alan Tanksley, Matthew White, Frank Webb, and Vicente Wolf.

What this means for you, is that you can see my apartment , along with a bunch of others, without feeling like a weirdo stalker creep! People that see the apartment in real life after seeing it on the blog say its like being on a movie set. Familiar because they’ve seen it so many times, but weird too!

Here is the schedule for the day:
