I always pass by this townhouse at 46 East 73rd Street on my walk to Madison Avenue and Central Park. I’ve long admired the glossy black door and topiaries so when the holiday decorations from 2019 stayed up for all of last year, I decided to investigated who owned it. Turns out that it’s Gayfryd […]

My dear friend David Lawrence and I worked at the same design firm but not at the same time. We met almost 15 years ago after his Hamptons project was featured on the cover and inside House Beautiful and I reposted it on the blog. The owner of that house, Nancy McCormick, also owns the […]

We’ve had some beautiful weather this October and I made sure I went out for walks on all the sunny days. It was so nice to see so many homeowners and businesses decorate for fall and Halloween. The city is bustling and seems back to normal which feels so good. I can’t wait to see […]

Someone who wishes to remain anonymous, sent me photos this weekend of the 9 East 71st Street townhouse when it was published in Architectural Digest in 1995 after they read my Friday Bon Weekend blog post. At the time it was owned by billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner who had architect Thierry Despont and interior designer […]

The first part of New York fashion week highlights younger and emerging designers while the second half of the schedule is dedicated to the larger more established fashion houses. Carolina Herrera, with Wes Gordon at the helm, kicks things off Monday morning at the New York Historical Society. You should be able to watch the […]

Steven Gambrel has found a new property to restore and renovate so his current home is for sale for $8,995,000. A 25-foot wide townhouse […]

The Peggy and David Rockefeller Collection coming up for auction at Christie’s in May is touted as “the most anticipated art world event of the spring season” and they aren’t exaggerating. The sale filled with artwork by Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, and Pablo Picasso among others, as well as beautiful antiques and objects […]

I can’t believe that November magazines are already on newsstands. The latest issue of Architectural Digest features the West Village townhouse of actress Julianne Moore that’s surprisingly down to earth for a movie star. I appreciate that it looks like she decorated it herself and that is feels very personal. “I like things that have real […]

The Web Exclusive Home Tours on Architectural Digest are always my favorite features. They usually highlight more relatable interiors compared to some of the aspirational homes in the magazine. Long time readers might remember seeing the Chicago home of Lauren Buxbaum Gordon a few years ago. Lauren is a design director for Nate Berkus and moved to […]

I’ve posted Rose Uniacke‘s gorgeous London home before but it’s always worth repeating. Vogue has featured new photos of the house in the March 2017 issue that Rose describes as, “monastery meets Venetian palazzo.” I don’t know if I ever really noticed the unfinished floors before which I really love against the grandeur of the […]

I enjoy following Estee Lauder face and Shinola women’s design director Carolyn Murphy on Instagram since she’s one of the more relatable models. I also love when she posts pics of her Chelsea townhouse so I was excited to see Rosewood Hotels feature more photos on Rosewood Issues website. Her home is filled with treasures from her […]

While I was in Peru, my friend David Lawrence posted Instagram photos from The Row‘s new store at 17 East 71st Street in New York. Lucky for me, it’s located in my neighborhood on the Upper East Side and I can’t wait to stop by this week. As you know, there is nothing I love more […]

Marigay McKee left her life in London and her job at Harrods, where she had worked for 15 years, in 2013 to take on the president position at Saks Fifth Avenue. I was wondering what she was going to do after leaving the retail giant and Harper’s Bazaar has the scoop on her new firm MM Luxe […]

I had the pleasure of attending a dinner party for Bonpoint in a gorgeous West Village townhouse last year. (You can see the photos in my post Beautiful Bonpoint Dinner.) Now you can see the rest of the six-story home of Annabel and Jos White thanks to House & Garden magazine. The sitting room furniture was […]

I’ve seen photos of Alison Cayne’s West Village townhouse in magazines and online but for some reason the recent photos on One King’s Lane blew me away. Alison is the founder of the downtown cooking school Haven’s Kitchen so it’s not surprising that her home kitchen is impressive.  I was already toying with the ideas of remodeling […]

I happened to walk down East 71st Street between Lexington and Third Avenues a few days ago and noticed a new for sale sign at 169 East 71st Street.  This Upper East Side brownstone is best known as the building where Holly Golightly lives in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The townhouse was split […]

Those of you who follow me on Instagram know that I love a good townhouse.  Last night, I had the pleasure of attending one of the most beautiful ones in the West Village.  Bonpoint, the chicest children’s brand from France, opened a new store in Soho and hosted a dinner party afterward designed by my […]
