We are passionate about sheets. In fact, sheets are such a big deal that we’ll often pick a hotel based on the quality of the sheets (and it’s the first thing we talk about when we meet up in the morning). We’re so picky about sheets that although we’ve wanted to carry some good ones in our store, we couldn’t find any that fit all of the Huff’ington criteria: Super soft, all … [Read more...]
How to Live with Antiques
We're waiting on another container full of French goodies that should be arriving just as you're reading this. We LOVE getting our containers and as we unload, unpack (and sweat or freeze depending on the season), it's like greeting long-lost friends. We love seeing elegant 18th century commodes marched into the store side-by-side with our favorite crunchy "etablis" (work … [Read more...]
Living the Artful Lifestyle
A BFF, who will be moving into a new home shortly, called me over the weekend to say she'd fallen in love with a painting at the gallery, and wondered if it would work in her new place. I responded, "If you love it, it'll work anywhere!" I thought about sending her an interview we did several years ago for an arts publication that hammers that point in fairly strongly. But … [Read more...]

How to style a coffee table
We're just back from a very fun and exciting installation in Paris (stay tuned for more on that soon, with photos), where we had the pleasure of designing a lovely one-bedroom apartment with a killer view of the Eiffel Tower. We had done most of the heavy lifting in the fall - specifying the floor, hard surfaces, plumbing cabinetry and paint - so our weeklong stay was … [Read more...]

Anne Wagoner
We all have our different morning routines but mine is lovely, simple and utterly addictive: First thing, Monday through Friday, before coffee, orange juice and Miss Coco wrestling in her crate, I read my favorite blog, La Dolce Vita, which always seems to pop up just when I want it. Whether Paloma is covering her Friday favorites, her “Fabulous Room,” her “In the Mood” or … [Read more...]

We got a little sneak peek at some of the spaces up at Cashiers and one thing is for sure: there are some dreamy bedrooms ! We're not allowed to brag about any of them yet (you'll see them in … [Read more...]
Heritage Art Collection
For years, when we shopped the markets in France, always on a mission to find some fabulous one-of-a-kind furniture and always at high speed, we would feel the tug for beautifully painted crusty old works of art that would haunt us out of the corner one eye, while we were laser focused on finding furniture with the other. We talked about how art has been our true love, and the … [Read more...]
Design Docs
“HELP!” cried the email, from a lovely divorced single parent rebuilding a nest in a high-rise condo, “Is there a Design Doctor in the house?” With a busy professional life, and enough resources to buy the basics – sofa, coffee table, dining table, desk and office console, and a killer view that she felt wasn't being maximized – our client was at a complete standstill in … [Read more...]
