The shoot with Lonny Mag’s Patrick and Michelle was as fun and laid back as you would expect something from Lonny to be. This project was definately one of my favorite I have worked on. The loft space is amazing and the client’s were a dream – great taste and excited about the design process. It was wonderful working on this project and therefore very fulfilling to share this with Lonny, TradHome, and all of their readers. A few more shots below:

I am loving the DIY aspect of antique dealer Karina Gentinetta cottage in New Orleans. Many people are afraid of the preciousness of antiques and shy away from them for everyday living. In the Home and Garden section of The NYT Karina shows how beautiful and livable antiques can be. Most pieces in her home were bought for a song after Katrina but look fabulous! A fresh coat of paint ( her favorite is Ralph Lauren’s Tudric Pewter), some belgian linen, and old thread bare rugs create a classic lived-in and well-loved look.
My favorite quote from the article is “Happiness is not a big house. It’s being in each other’s way. That’s what brings memories.” This could not be more true.
