The White House

Last Monday I was in Washington DC at a meeting with Bronson and Mimi Van Wyck.

Bronson kindly arranged for us to visit the White House through one of his personal contacts. We were able to view all the Christmas decorations and see the private, social offices and meet many of the event staff.

Winter Get-aways

During these cold winter months we all want to get away to someplace warm and sunny.

Two very special places I have been to recently are the Tides in Miami and the Viceroy in Palm Springs.

Both hotels are designed by Kelly Werstler, one of my very favorite designers. She is incredibly talented with hotel design. The lobbies and entertainment spaces are magical and full of beautiful fabrics and objects.

Here are some great pictures of her creativity.

50th Birthday in Greenwich

Here are some great pictures of a 50th birthday party we just coordinated. The client has a beautiful historic barn on their property which is great party space.

There was absolutely nothing in the barn… so we could completely create our own concept. The theme was to design a hunting lodge atmosphere. Van Wyck & Van Wyck helped to achieve the absolute perfect look.

We brought in elk chandeliers, taxidermy of different types of animals, comfortable banquets for seating and lots of plaid and animal skins. We even had a suckling pig, chicken pot pies and corn pudding…yummy!!
