LISA STERNFELD ~ DESIGN ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD

Lisa Sternfeld, a graduate of Parsons School of Design and owner of LSID, has worked with designers such as Thomas O"Brien and Adam Tihany.  After several years of working on the business side of design, Sternfeld knew she wasn't doing what she was meant to do.  The rest is history.

When Sternfeld was asked to decorate a couple's second home on the beach in Martha's Vineyard, she jumped at the chance.  The husband and wife had differing tastes, but Sternfeld worked with the couple beautifully.  Her love of handcrafted pieces and elegance was equally shared by the clients.  The white gold gilded dining chairs are stunning and are my favorite, and the soft blue palette is beautiful.  ENJOY!

I will be spending time with my family after the loss of my mother this week.  See you soon.

ROBERT PASSAL ~ DESIGN ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE

Interior designer and owner of Robert Passal Interior and Architectural Design, Robert Passal created a classic home with modern touches throughout for a couple on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Passal believes  that a designer should work closely with the client, making certain to decorate with their tastes and wishes in mind.  Passal also believes that trust is an element that must be present to make the designer-client relationship work.

The client wanted traditional with a modern and punchy feel.   I say that the goal was accomplished.  ENJOY!

See you soon,

House Beautiful ~ May 2011 issue

GARDEN IN NANTUCKET

There is nothing I love more than a beautiful garden, filled with beautiful flowers and herbs, statues, fountains and stones.  This garden was built on the beach in Nantucket, presenting problems that are associated with sand and salt water.

Susan and Coleman Burke dug a seven foot deep trench and built a wall to separate the sea and its spray from the lush garden.  The Burkes then filled in the garden with soil and gravel, planting lavatera, butterfly bushes, poppies, roses and Russian sage.   ENJOY!

SUZANNE LOVELL ~ DESIGN ON LAKE GENEVA

Interior designer Suzanne Lovell and architect Chip Von Weise designed and decorated this beautiful glass home on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin.  The home is broken into seven pavilions, and each room is separated by a glass walkway. The living and dining rooms are one large room with a thirty foot ceiling.  The walls are glass, allowing the family to see the lake and all of the surrounding landscapes from any room.

The interior is designed for relaxed weekends.  Lovell decorated with white and used stone and wood on the floors. Much of the furnishings and accessories are by Ralph Lauren, and all surfaces are stain and water proof, allowing the family and their guests to come in from the pool or lake and rest.  ENJOY!
