Cover Model

Check out the boss man as a cover model!

You can find an article in this month's Metropolitan Home magazine featuring Jamie's amazing landscape at his home in the Hamptons, which I've been lucky enough to experience in person. It's seriously so beautiful.

He is also featured in this month's Hotel Design Magazine.
So fun!

Dinner with the Mayor of New York City

Last night Tyler and I went to Gracie Mansion (the official residence of the Mayor) for an event for the Historic House Trust. Jamie (my boss) went on vacation this week and asked Tyler and I to go in his place.

It started off with a cocktail party in the house. It was fun to tour it and see all of the beautiful rooms. Drake Design Associates (my work) re-designed the whole mansion a few years ago so that was way cool to party there. Then we had a great dinner out on the lawn overlooking the river. It was really pretty and the food was amazing ($1000/plate so I would hope it was good) and then there was dancing. It was so fun to get all dressed up and go to a party with the rich and famous (the Mayor counts right? haha)

Beach Day

Someone forgot to turn off "April Showers" because here we are in June and it wont stop raining! We couldn't take it anymore so we thought we'd try the "mind over matter" approach and went to the beach this weekend. Our efforts were recognized by mother nature and it didn't rain but it was still cold :( A walk on the beach is therapeutic no matter the weather so I wont complain.

Niagara Falls

Tyler is working in Rochester for a couple weeks so this weekend I went to visit him. We spent one day at Niagara Falls. Neither of us have been there and we both loved it!! The falls are absolutely amazing. It really is one of the wonders of the world. It was so much fun spending the day together enjoying God's beautiful creations and enjoying one another.

Dream Apartment, Dream Job

Last week I oversaw the taping of HGTV's Top 10. Our work has been featured in 4 different episodes which is so fun. It was cool to actually be there during the taping. I hadn't seen this project in person so it was fun to explore and snap pictures. I would love to have this place!

Foyer

Notice the small discrete door pulls on the left. All of the doors in this place are "hidden" like this . It was a nice contemporary touch.

Living Area

This was such an amazing space with the corner windows. I love the eclecticism of this project. That is what we are known for, like that super traditional gilded chair upholstered in hot pink velvet ... love it!

Dining Area

Color, color, color! I love the chairs in that blue cowhide. The accessories in this place were great too.

Master Bedroom
I am such a windows person so this bedroom would be just perfect for me.
