A week of Design/Art/Living...

Property Jessica Gordon Ryan/The Entertaining House

Aren't these tulips positively spectacular? Don't they just scream springtime? Don't they make you happy? Put a smile on your face? How I feel when I see these flowers pretty much sums up how I felt about this past, most incredible week. It started off with a special tour of Decor, NYC by owner/ founder Bruce Tilley (post to follow this week), followed by an amazing day at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show, followed by another amazing day spent at Bunny William's uptown store, Treillage (post on this to follow as well), then to Central Park where I met up with friend and photographer extraordinaire, Marcy Feld of Feld Photography for much needed and long overdue headshots and the day ended with a bang at Bemelman's Bar at The Carlyle. It was a week of incredible inspiration - sharing, learning and laughing. I came home exhausted and incredibly refreshed! (All the tulips were from Treillage.)

I'm rarely star-struck - I grew up in New York City, after all, and summered at my grandmother's house in the South of France where she entertained her socialite and celebrity friends. I might have been just the tiniest bit when I met the talented, iconic Bunny Williams. She is friendly, warm and so gracious. It was truly an honor and a privilege to be in her presence, to hear her speak and to learn from her.

Pictured above, Bunny and her husband John Rosselli, co-owner of Treillage and owner of John Rosselli Antiques. John is absolutely charming as well. Aren't they just the cutest couple? I'll have more on both of them and their stores in the next couple of weeks... so stay tuned!
