Due to the success of our interior design firm we have moved into a bigger work space, installed a fancy new project management software, and expanded our team. We are so excited about this growth and all the amazing new projects that we have scheduled for the year.

With so much work for clients in the city and beyond, we’ve decided that it’s no longer possible to continue selling fabrics, wallpaper, and rugs to the trade.  Diane will still continue to advocate and use fine American  products for her own interior design clients.

So role on 2011, it is going to be a great one!

It has a bit of a bad rep for being cold and uninviting, but when it’s used in the right shades, in the right light, AND in the right proportions (relative to other elements in the room), it can look exceptionally chic.

It was super to meet the Ivy & Piper team and we’re so pleased they had chance to come visit us even at such a hectic time of year when their diaries must be bursting!

For those, like me, who find it hard to wait 2 months for the next issue of their favourite magazines to be published, Ivy & Piper’s Holiday Issue is the perfect thing to tide you over.

The collection’s fifteen pieces celebrate Twombly’s love for exotic Central Asian textiles, mixing Weinrib’s signature handmade ikats with Twombly’s signature rich Italian fabrics like velvets.

Congratulations to both Madeline and Soledad, the pieces are to die for.

Friday just gone my husband and I went to see ‘Celebration’ to learn more about Saint Laurent. We knew he had sadly suffered from addictions and depression but we did not know of the extent the film reveals. Banned in France, director Olivier Meyrou goes behind the glamorous scenes of Saint Laurent’s world, to reveal a fragile, mysterious and tortured artist.

Despite the sadness in his life, Saint Laurent still managed to create some of the most iconic clothing of all times. We have him to thank for the safari look, the tuxedo for women, and some of the most beautiful dresses ever created.

Yves Saint Laurent with two fashion models who went on to become muses, Betty Calroux (left) and Loulou de la Falaise, outside his ‘Rive Gauche’ shop in 1969 wearing the famous safari look.

He was the king of cutting-edge couture who, by rewriting the rules of fashion, changed forever the way women dress.

Season 4 of Mad Men premiered yesterday in the US! Very excited to watch another dramatic season and I can’t wait to see all the beatutiful 1960’s costumes and decor.

Monkey Cottage, an old one room school house, is the most charming cottage. I just love the yellow door!

Great Barrington House, the Novograd’s country retreat, is another beautiful house which has inspired me a lot! Again, the yellow shutters are absolutely stunning.

Now I can’t stop thinking about going down to our country house for the weekend! I can’t wait to snuggle up in front of the fire and start reading my new book.
Have a fabulous weekend!
