I have a friend who NEVER goes out to eat without ordering a couple of appetizers for the table.

 He is fun to go out with.

So heading into the weekend I thought I would give you a little appetizer, a teaser, a tasty treat of what’s to come.

Here is the new Watercolor house in coming out of the ground.

 

 A little more framing goes up…

 

And believe it or not these are my original inspirations for the interiors.

We will see if they pan out.

After leaving Martyn Bullard (here) we scurried home, re-packed and headed

HERE!

 Can you guess?

Does this help any?

THAT’S RIGHT!!! We are starting another new project at Watercolor and I am SOOOOO excited!

30A, most beloved corridor, here I come.

If you aren’t familiar with this wonderful place I would like to share just a few of my pictures from the last trip. These are

snippets of Watercolor, Seaside, Rosemary and Alys Beach.

Enjoy.

 

 

And of course…

Stay tuned for the frame up and build out of another great house!

Whew! Did you miss me? Sorry for the absence but we just did 5 cities in 3 states in 6 days which means some exciting posts are headed your way!

The first part of the week featured a seminar for fabric designers who want to license their work- ME!

Have you ever heard of this show?

If your answer was “yes!” then you know who Martyn Lawrence Bullard is– “everyone’s favorite Brit”.

Well…

 He is perfectly delightful and I loved spending some time with him but he reminded me  of one thing….people with a huge platform (name recognition) do a lot less of the actual work than I do. LOL

I ACTUALLY draw all of my designs, then scale them, color them, put them into repeat etc. etc. He walks in with a box of “inspiration” in the form of old textiles, ceramic tiles, pottery , jewelry and Shumacher’s design team designs the collection. hmmmm I need a bigger platform. haha

Here are some shots from a recent show where he and his assistants are preparing for and having an initial meeting with Daisey Fuentes.

       They look a little intense to me.

  

Here she comes.

 

So I’m thinking this lovely……

 

       

  I love these next two pictures because they show his cute little wit and playful personality.

 

Well guys and gals another successful meeting! Great job

Stairways To Heaven.

 
I never met a beautiful staircase that I didn’t love.

They always beckon me be they square or curving, masculine or feminine.

And if they hide a window seat on some hidden landing…. I’m sunk.

Wowzers! From the Lenox Hill Townhouse
