You're invited! 

Join Marimekko as they welcome Warburg Realty to the Flatiron. This iconic design house has always been one of my all time best sources for inspiration, as you can see many of their products and fabrics in my staging and home design projects. As I say, From Finland with Love!

I will be there to tell you which prints are my favorites...or maybe I'll just let you guess! Their combination of quality, design integrity and heritage makes for a perfect partnership with Warburg. A Higher Standard.

Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends

Throughout his career, John Singer Sargent created portraits of artists, writers, actors, and musicians, many of whom were his close friends. Because these works were rarely commissioned, he was free to create images that were more radical than those he made for paying clients. He often posed these sitters informally-in the act of painting, singing, or performing, for example. Together, the portraits constitute a group of experimental paintings and drawings-some of them highly charged, others sensual, and some of them intimate, witty, or idiosyncratic. The exhibition Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends, which opened at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on June 30, brings together about 90 of these distinctive portraits, including numerous loans from private collections.

I am so pleased to tell you that my design room for Edge Mid-Century Designs at Bloomingdale's has been received so well that it is being held over until the end of July. If you are in the neighborhood, I hope you get a chance to see what I came up with. Here's a peek into my mid-century madness.
