...my 24 hours in NYC

...drove up friday evening from newport and met up with Keenhan Konya, who was very nice to take me out on the town and let me stay in Brooklyn. I cant thank him enough, he was amazing company and such a design talent. The next morning i was to meet up with David Cafiero at his store located in Manhattan. We met early, saw the store which is filled right now with tons of furniture, objects and art to be installed in their latest project. David then suggested that we go out to Stamford and he show me where he does a majority of his shopping, seeing as antiquing is my favorite past time, i was more than excited. We drove, we talked, he imparted countless ideas on design and helpful hints and secrets he's picked up along the way to where he is today. Shopping was great with the highlight being www.stamfordantiques.com. I can't say enough about David, it was just one of those experiences where (and forgive me if im not being eloquent) but, meeting someone who shares so many similar ideas on scale and look and feel in terms of interiors and actually life in general. I cannot thank him and Keenhan enough for the priceless experience i had with them. These images above are from the store and his website, please check him out if your in the city and keep your eyes open for what im sure will be more and more eye opening and inspiring interiors projects from Cafiero Select.

...im on vacation

its been a few days since ive posted, i have since had a cold, traveled home to newport, rhode island, was stuck over night in philidelphia and now am home. Since college during the holidays i always tend towards a few films that just for some reason make me feel nice during the winter. the 400 blows, murmur of the heart and au revoir les enfants are the ones that get the job done.
Im sure i will be plenty busy going from house to house seeing friends and family during my 10 day stay here, so i wont be posting as much, most notably i will be going to new york next weekend to not only see some friends i havent seen in a while BUT... to also meet up with David Cafiero of www.cafieroselect.com...along with his assistant Keenhan to see what there working on... i will try and get pictures but dont hold your breathe... till then, have a great holiday, enjoy yourself, enjoy your company... be well.

john peixinho

ok... so i'm not a year behind the times or anything, this issue of www.housebeautiful.com came out almost a year ago. It features my good friend and former boss' home in newport, rhode island. to say that this house is the epitomy of classic new england relaxed style would be an understatement. John and Franklin and co. have created a time machine, a world where classic lines, comfort and an appreciation for antiques take center stage. i cant say enough about John's stylistic and personal influence on my life, he continues to surprise and inspire me. He taught me everything from how to set a proper table to utilizing assertiveness in the eyes of defeat. kudos!

design inspiration from eric cohler...

i was told to check out this designers website by my boss who thought i would love this designers work. ill be honest i was not at first sure why from looking at some of the portfolio, but these images i chose are right on the mark i think, classic, warm, well balanced... im most excited about the horizontal yellow wallpaper in the last image, what an amazing way to simultaneously bring attention to the height of a room, but to also make sure the space stays warm and not so overwhelming.
