HONEYMOON IN HARLEM

Getting married mid-life has proven challenging as well of rewarding for interior designer Elaine Griffin and husband, Michael McGarry. The couple bought an 1890's Harlem brownstone which only has 1000 square feet.  Compromising, the couple mingled Asian and European styles. ENJOY!

DESIGN IN SONOMA

When interior designer Patrick Printy and Don Holland decided to build a weekend getaway in Sonoma, they didn't know that it would eventually become a permanent residence. The Dutch architecture goes beautifully with the furnishings, appearing as if the home has been there forever. ENJOY!

DESIGN IN BRUSSELS

This 1907 stone townhouse in Brussels may have needed a lot of work, but designers Anne-Marie Midy and husband Jorge Almada were up to the task. Moving from Mexico was no easy feat for the couple and their children, but it was well worth it, they agree. You be the judge. ENJOY!

DELPHINE KRAKOFF AND MARK FERGUSON ~ DESIGN IN MANHATTAN

When the owners purchased this three story Manhattan tower, they had no idea how long the renovation would take, but they were certain that the interior designer would be Delphine Krakoff and the architect Mark Ferguson.

The engineering of the penthouse took almost seven years because the poorly connected floors had to be torn down and rebuilt.  Krakoff worked closely with the couple choosing the furnishings and the art work.  ENJOY!
