One Kings Lane Tastemakers



We are completely blown away to be included amongst some of our heroes in the design industry! This is a “pinch us is this for real” moment that we can not thank the wonderful people at One Kings Lane enough for such a fabulous opportunity. What an honor!

And We’re Off…Happy 2012!


We are back to work after two weeks spent with our families and dear friends enjoying the holiday festivities. The past year has brought us much to be thankful for: fantastic clients, interesting projects, fun buying trips, challenges that have made us better at what we do…and we’re looking forward to seeing what 2012 has in store for us! In looking back at the hundreds of photos we’ve each taken over the year of everything that has inspired us-or that we just loved-here are some of our favorite images from the past year. Clearly we love nature in all its many forms….can you tell!? Throw in some cute puppies in the window, great art, to-die-for furniture, a trip to the beach, yummy food and drink and we’re pretty much as happy as we can be. Here’s to a healthy and prosperous year ahead!

New Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum

We are so smitten with the newly updated wing celebrating the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia, recently unveiled in November, that we have already been back twice. A beautifully conceived and executed space, the fifteen galleries contain many wonderful examples of the art of this region of the world: intricate textiles, ceramics, vibrant works on paper, exquisite jewelry, Persian rugs, metal work, and much more! Here is a short video which showcases the lengths the Met Museum went to in creating the space, as well as a few of our favorite pieces from the collection currently on display.

All For A Good Cause



A few months ago we shared pictures of The Great American Woody created in collaboration with our good friends at MOORE & GILES, the brilliant mixologist Jim Meehan, and the fantastically talented Brad Ford.

The Great American Woody is now being auctioned off as a part of DIFFA’s “30 for 30” auction on charitybuzz.com. The goal is to raise as much money as possible to support DIFFA’s groundbreaking work in the fight against AIDS. This auction will close Monday, December 19th.

We hope you’ll take a look and…if you purchase the Woody…we’re looking forward to drinks. Cheers!
