Case in point: my friends Suysel de Pedro Cunningham and Anne Foster of Tilton Fenwick who were given the home’s butler’s pantry which they transformed into a chic …

Top 10 Hard to Kill Houseplants

As much as I pride myself on my domestic abilities I must admit that when it comes to maintaining houseplants, I am a notorious brown thumb! I love plants because they add wonderful color and life to your home, but I’ve never been particularly successful in keeping any plant alive for an extended period of time.

Get to Know Abstract Artist Mary Elizabeth Peterson

When I was sourcing art for my Brooklyn Brownstone project that was recently featured in Lonny, I logged onto Saatchi Art, one of my favorite resources for discovering new artists, and was so excited to stumble upon the work of Mary Elizabeth Peterson. I loved every single one of her bold, colorful, graphic abstract paintings and spotted one piece called Conforming to the Curve that I knew would be perfect for my client’s master bedroom. When I showed it to my client, she immediately loved it just as much as I did and agreed to buy …
