Glad to be back after Hurricane Sandy. We are fine at home. Our electric power came back last night. There are many people less fortunate that are in great need of donations. Please contact local agencies in your area to contribute to families affected by Hurricane Sandy.
On my visit to HomeGoods to pick up towels for donations , I found some inspiration, too.
Thank you for stopping by.
I was inspired by all the beautiful interior designs at the Holiday House NYC . My feet were tired, but I had to take pictures of the amazing architectural details outside to share with you.
Across the street from Holiday House NYC, is this spectacular door.

Grab a friend and visit Holiday House NYC this weekend. You don’t want to miss this showhouse.
A vanity room to feel glamorous every day of the week. Claudia Giselle designs a romantic and glamorous vanity room at the Holiday House. Her theme for this room is “Girl’s Night Out.” It is a sensual environment that celebrates being a woman.
Gold accents, upholstered walls, and lush window treatments fantastic!
Mysterious …. the eyes speak louder than words.
Thanks for stopping by.
Mark your calendars and visit the Holiday House, a holiday-themed Designer Showhouse, in a historic 20,000+ square foot mansion presented by Traditional Home. The Holiday House is located at 2 East 63rd Street in New York City. It is open to the public from October 25 – November 18, 2012.
This year, the Holiday House benefits The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, founded by Evelyn Lauder in 1993. Many women and families have been touched by breast cancer, my family included. Let’s celebrate life and support the foundation to help accelerate new discoveries and advances to fight breast cancer. The foundation is a pioneer in dramatically improving diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of breast cancer to help women globally. I am honored to be part of the media attending the showhouse and to share the amazing designs of some of the best talent in the design industry.

I will be covering more designs tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by.
Good morning. Sorry for the lack of post last week. I took a little road trip to North Carolina for High Point Market. Imagine a town just for designers, buyers and people in the industry. There was so much to see. I will need many more visits to explore just a fraction of the showrooms. The showrooms I did visit were full of great furniture and beautiful accessories. The highlight of my trip was attending the C.R. Laine showroom.
C.R. Laine was gracious and hosted a cocktail party for the Olioboard and High Point Market “Style Spotter” finalist. Here we are 11 of the 15 finalist. I enjoyed meeting Lisa Mende, the winner of the Olio Board competition. It was wonderful to see Leslie Carothers, as wells as, many amazing bloggers and designers. Thank you, Leslie for sharing your wonderful pictures.
Thank you, Cheminne Taylor-Smith, Holly Blalock, C.R. Laine, and Currey & Co. for putting together a wonderful party. Please follow the 9 High Point Market Style Spotters Boards on Pinterest and see their picks.
Have a wonderful Monday!
The B.K.F. Chair named after its three designers, Antonio Bonet, Juan Kurchan and Jorge Ferrari Hardoy, is also known as the Hardoy Chair, Butterfly Chair, Safari Chair, Sling Chair, or Wing Chair. The lightweight and inexpensive lounge chair is popular. Recently, a vintage chair came up at auction locally. It was hard not to make a bid on this beauty. Some how I managed to look away. A lucky buyer took it home. The winning bid was $200. It was a steal. I was happy for them. If you love it, CB2 is carrying the iconic butterfly design.

Do you have a painting project? Why not try getting out of your comfort zone when selecting your paint color for your next project. This room is cozy, vibrant and a real show stopper. Teal, green and white are just amazing together.

Ty Larkins gives the show house entry a punch of color with apple green lamp shades and matching display boxes. Don’t you just love the colors of interiors this season? Choose a color that is exciting to you. Add the color to your room with paint or a few accessories. Enjoy.

I love this time of year and all that it brings –beautiful window boxes, amazing design inspiration, great recipes, fun fashion, and pumpkins everywhere.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Are you looking for a great chair to add to your decor? These are sure to wow you and your guest. I would use any of these in a heart beat. They are all beautiful. Just remember to mix your style. Add a modern chair to your traditional room. Update a traditional chair by upholstering it in a modern fabric or add a pillow in a bright color. Try something different. Decorating should be fun.
