The Chatsworth

Built in 1904, at the dawn of the 20th Century,

The Chatsworth redefined prestigious living

in a city sparkling with possibility. Interior Design firm Pembrooke & Ives ushers The Chatsworth into the 21st Century with integrity and modernity. Restored skylights, original hand-carved walnut paneling, custom designed Italian chandeliers and stained white-oak herringbone floors set the stage for a dramatic new era. Just lovely.

Red Jacket Staging News

Latest Before & After Photos from EDGE

Staging can produce dramatic results, both visually and financially. It is a proven fact that a staged apartment not only sells faster than an empty one, but also delivers higher results/closed prices than its naked siblings. Especially in the New York luxury market, professionally staging a new listing is no longer an option, but rather a necessity. My team at Edge Mid-Century Designs combines the latest in interior design know how with the most effective results that only a real estate industry insider can provide. Contact us directly to learn more about working with the Best.

Red Jacket Shopping News

Not your father's Brooks Brothers.

While I am noted for wearing unending amounts of the colour RED, I have a rainbow awaiting me when I open my closets. Last year I noticed I was wearing Red, White & Blue in heavy rotation. A sign of my eternal patriotism? Or could it be that it just looks so darn sassy? You be the judge.
My go to place for all things USA is now the Black Fleece collection at Brooks Brothers. Classics with a twist; both shaken AND stirred.
Red Jacket Approved!

Red Jacket Dining News

New in the Flatiron

With the opening of Warburg Realty's new Flatiron office at 18 West 21st Street, I will be focusing on exceptional dining experiences in the Flatiron.
At Cosme, Enrique Olvera brings his brand of progressive Mexico City cooking to the Flatiron District. It's just great! Olvera has tailored his menu to New Yorkers' current obsession with the clean, the comforting, and the non-ornamental.

Red Jacket Approved.

Marimekko at Edge Mid-Century Modern

As you all know, I am a huge fan of the design firm Marimekko of Finland. Vivid prints that make a statement, combined with lush hues of wonderful and unexpected colours. The new Spring 2015 Collection is just splendid! Arriving at Edge Mid-Century Modern this month, look for it in many of my upcoming staging installations.

Just gorgeous!

Red Jacket Theatre News

The King and I returns!

So glad one of my favourite shows is returning to New York! Previews begin March 12th at the Lincoln Center Theater. Starring Kelli O'Hara and Ken Wantanabe, it is sure to bring back memories of Yul Brenner and Constance Towers; the first time I saw Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King and I in 1977. It was pure magic and raised the bar on everything I would eventually see on Broadway.

The Red Jacket's New Ride

When I was growing up, the finest car that you could own was a Lincoln Continental. It possessed this amazing blending of status, simplicity and elegance. Having not entered a Lincoln showroom since my Mom bought her Cartier Lincoln Mark V in 1979, I was extremely surprised to find myself back behind the wheel of a Lincoln 35 years later. The new Red Jacketmobile is nothing short of superb. Top drawer luxury combined with athletic road manners made the MKC the obvious choice over my former German brand lovefest, the Mercedes Benz.

Lincoln is back!
