One of my favorite projects last year was styling a dining table for the Sotheby’s Dining IN Online Sale. When they asked me to style a table for the Sotheby’s Dining IN New York Online Sale this year, I was more than happy to oblige. It’s a dream to be style a table with some […]

This has been a trying year to say the least but it’s given many of us time to pause and realize what we have to be grateful for now. This year and every year, I am thankful for all my loyal blog readers and Instagram followers. I am also grateful for all the lovely people […]

Even though I have a very small kitchen and no separate dining room in my New York apartment, I obsessively collect antique china and silver. So when Sotheby’s asked if I’d like to collaborate with them on their Dining IN online auction happening now, I jumped at the chance. Since everyone is spending so much […]

Interior designer Remy Renzullo loves to entertain and collects antique china to set his table. He is such an avid collector that he reached out to me on Instagram last summer when I posted photos from the Nantucket Antiques Show to find out which vendor was selling plates in one of his china patterns. The […]

Just when I had decided that my spring and summer wardrobe would consist exclusively of neutrals, navy, and black, the new Emma movie comes out and makes me want to wear pretty pastry colored pastels. I suppose I could add in a few pieces or wear them on my Southern trips or I could just […]

I’ve shopped eBay for as long as I can remember. I have found so many wonderful vintage pieces of art, china, and silver on the site but they also sell a myriad of new items for every room in your home. Did you know 81% of the items on eBay are new and available with […]

I read on twitter today rom Dr. Frank Lipman that “gratitude produces a profound shift in your immune and endocrine systems, lowering stress hormoones and boosting overall health.” I hope that makes up for all the turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie we will all indulge in today.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a dinner party with Everything but the House (EBTH) to help celebrate the launch of their online estate sales in New York.

“I have to tell you, I am in love with beauty. I have always loved beautiful objects.” This is the opening of Valentino’s new book Valentino: At the Emperor’s Table from Assouline. It perfectly sets the tone for the gorgeous photographs of the dining tables and spaces at his many homes. If you’ve ever seen the documentary, […]

While I was on the way to meet a very chic New Yorker who also lives in Paris yesterday, I walked by the most amazing looking store. When she mentioned that she still needed china and napkins and other pieces to finish off her home, I told her about the store so we went back […]

While I was styling an early Thanksgiving table this week for a photo shoot, I was lamenting the fact that I don’t have a large collection of blue and white china like my friend Alice Ryan does above. I was also kicking myself for not buying up the boxes of china I’ve seen at the […]

I didn’t make it to The Whitney yesterday but I still saw some fabulous art. It was just in the form of Richard Ginori hand painted china at Barneys. While collection looked fabulous en masse, I could also picture it looking especially bellissimo mixed with Haviland Limoges Lacque de Chine China. And it makes me […]
