What's Out for 2009?
THESE ITEMS ARE ON THEIR WAY OUT, ACCORDING TO SOME INTERIOR DESIGNERS I read an article over the weekend in the LA Times Home section that I just had to share with you. Titled Oh, please receive over it, by David A. Keeps; LA designers are asked what design trends are coming to an end and what household items need to be purged and/or donated. Some of the answers were quite humorous as well as interesting...here's what they said: "If I hear one more client say they want a huge chandelier over a ta

A Swedish Treat For A Cold, Winter Night!
As seen in the new French Elle Decor. Since I don’t talk French – I can only surmise what the captions say! Two Swedish antique dealers chose the Gustavian style for their home. I adore this picture of the enfilade – or rooms that are set up next to each other, without any halls. This enfilade is comprised of three different rooms, at least. I adore how the floors are untreated – or I should probably say “look” untreated. I suspect it took a lot of work to make these floors look so perfe

The Gift that Keeps on Giving
The Skimmer has given me many beautiful and thoughtful gifts over the years. Pretty clothes, books, concert tickets, gels, creams, lotions. Fireplace mantles.

Goodbye to the freezing and black Puget Sound. Goodbye to the fireplace, goodbye to the pies and the cookies. Goodbye to the winter in Washington. Screaming seagull And from the ferry take a cab to the airport. And then we fly home and now we are home.

Cookies for Santa
How old does something have to be before it’s considered an antique? I suppose the cookie cutters I used to make these sugar cookie Santas and trees haven’t quite made the clip-off yet, but I calculate that they’re at least 23 years old, possibly more. With the exception that I used my possess favorite recipe, these Christmas cookies are exact replicas of the version we used to make with my grandmother when I was very little. These simple and gloriously thick sugar cookies would be carefully clip-

The ever-talented Brian Neal Sensabaugh is one of the first friends I made in Houston and still one of my very favorite people.

Familiar Ground: Kathryn Scott
Written by Donna Sapolin Few would take issue with the notion that an interior designer should develop a deep familiarity with the space he or she is hired to design for a client.

Notting Hill isn't always Notting Hell
Stucco town houses in Stanley Gardens, W11Long before Notting Hill became synonymous with that godawful movie and the banker-wanker (and their status anxiety riddled wives) it had an association with artists and bohemian culture since the 1820s. Part of the allure, undoubtedly, is its big light filled Victorian houses; originally designed as single family dwellings with room for some live in help. By the 1950s, the majority had been hacked into bedsits and, later on, flats. The boom of the la
