I’m going to have to make more room on my bookshelves for all the new design and coffee table books out this fall. I’ve already received advance copies of some of them and they are all interesting and inspiring. Some are traditional monographs from interior designers and others delve into original topics which means there […]
One day this past April, I was getting ready to attend the press preview for the Peggy and David Rockefeller Collection auction at Christie’s. It was raining and I knew I would run into people I knew there and the Kips Bay Decorator Show House press preview on the same day so I wanted to […]
The most memorable trip I’ve ever taken was to Morocco. We spent a week driving down the coast from Casablanca to Essaouira, then to the low Atlas mountains before we ended up in Marrakech. One place we did not visit was Tangier since it sits on the northern coast. It’s always been on my must […]
Veere Grenney is one of my favorite interior designers so it was nice to see this modern country house project of his on the House & Garden UK site recently.

You know there is something wacky going on with the weather when it’s sunny and beautiful in England and cold and rainy in New York. Hamish Bowles has even provided photographic proof on his Vogue/Style.com blog, The Hamishphere. Seems he was visiting The Temple, a Palladian folly, that belongs to the British interior designer Veere […]
There is a beautiful photo in the November 2008 issue of American Vogue and unlike usual spreads, they actually gave credit to the owner, London decorator Veere Grenney. I know he’s already been profiled on other sites including one of my favorites, Studio Annetta, but I thought his work was too beautiful not to post […]
