Chic Master Suite

I didn't realize until the end of my tour of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House that Kathryn Ireland designed the only bedroom in this year's townhouse. I'm glad it was a really chic one then.  Kathryn's style is usually very California Bohemian Chic but I thought she did a great job translating that to the East Coast with the use of all the antiques from John Rosselli and the Anglo-Indian Tester bed from Jonathan Burden.  It also doesn't hurt that all the fabrics and wallpaper are part of her collection for Scalamandré. 

The Impressionist painting is from Rafael Gallery.

The bird painting is by Hunt Slonem.

Bon Weekend

The weather in New York could not be more beautiful and it will continue all weekend.  Hooray!  The Park Avenue tulips above are standing tall and proud all along the Upper East Side.

While this dapper gentleman and most of the city were enjoying some time in the sun.

Many interior designers like Kathryn Ireland (above) were putting the final touches on their rooms for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House. I was on hand to photograph the rooms this week and will posting them beginning on Thursday, May 9th.  If you want to see it for yourself, it opens to the public on Tuesday, May 7th and will run through June 4th.  

Bon Weekend!
