The Baccarat
LOUIS XV had simple needs: he demanded all things haute. Since 1764, when Baccarat was founded
by his Royal decree, it has embodied that exacting standard, creating the stuff of celebration for
the most discerning clientele, the few who can conceive, command and, most of all, appreciate
excellence. Banish the mundane. Celebrate the extraordinary.
Three doors, three facets of Baccarat: residences, hotel, restaurant. Your ultimate destination, where refined craftsmanship and resonant history converge in an atmosphere of elegant celebration. Intimate, individualized and utterly exclusive,
it has been carefully designed to cater to your every need. Super Spectacular Indeed!

How's the Market? Just fine!
The Red Jacket Strikes Again with an Over-Ask-Accepted-Offer on my latest sale exclusive after the first Open House. This speaks volumes about today's market. Even though we are experiencing all time low levels of inventory , our listings must be presented in their best light for best results.
Not only must the property be priced correctly by a smart real estate professional, but it must also look camera ready.
It has been very rewarding to see that I have been such an incredible instrument in achieving record breaking prices at 310 West 56th Street while raising the bar on presentation expectations as a stager & home stylist as well as raising the bar professionally as a real estate professional.
More listings coming soon!

Use Colour; Repeat Often
One quick and easy way to make any room look designer perfect is to repeat a colour throughout in different hues and in different elements. This Upper West Side living room is a great example of using the colour blue in not only the sofa, but also in the lounge chair pillows, the art glass, the artwork, the pottery, the side tables and the coffee table books. This creates a very custom and cohesive look. Also, make sure that the neighboring rooms have their own colour personality as well. In this case, we highlighted the kitchen with healthy greens while adding lots of warmth to the entry with shades of yellow & orange in both the artwork and topaz colored glass. Afterall, they do call me The Colour Authority.

Pantone Color Direction for S/S 2015.
While the design changes that occur each season are more evolutionary than revolutionary these days, color is what separates one season from the next and is now more important than ever.This season there is a move toward the cooler and softer side of the color spectrum. An eclectic, ethereal mix of understated brights, pale pastels and nature-like neutrals take center stage as designers draw from daydreams of simpler times. Remembrances of retro delights, folkloric and floral art, and the magical worlds of tropical landscapes restore a sense of well-being as we head into warmer months.

Refined Tastes
In creating the new West Village hot spot Cafe Clover, designer Steven Gambrel conjured a seductively debonair salon - mercury-glass mirrors, white-lacquer paneling, luxe sea-blue banquettes - as the backdrop for chef David Standridge's exquisitely prepared health-conscious cuisine. "To Complement the clean menu," Gambrel says, "we built a space that's reflective and light." Yummy!

| Marimekko Celebrates 50 Years of Unikko Designed in Finland not long after I was born, the uber famous Unikko 'poppy' print by Marimekko is one of the most recognizable designs of the 20th Century. Available is a host of products from boots to dresses to pillows to tea pots, this simple design has made generations of people smile on impact. I even used Unikko fabric when I was a student at Parson's School of Design. I am thrilled to be part of their American business family, and look forward to hosting you all in the Marimekko Flagship Fifth Avenue store later this Spring as they welcome me back to the Flatiron with a lovely evening of Red Jackets & Unikko. Contact me directly for details & invite. |

The Easter Bunny, New York Style
Nothing was more tempting than walking by the windows of Li-Lac when I lived in the West Village. Beautiful, bespoke delicacies; New York's Oldest Chocolatier. I dared not enter the shop unless it was a holiday! My favourites were always the gorgeous Easter Bunnies done up in dark chocolate, made the same way since 1923, when Paris trained George Demetrious set up shop. These craft confections, made in copper kettles & on marble-to tables are ready for your Easter table.
