Design Trends, Tea Parties and Real Estate


I recently worked on some fun projects for iVillage that I've been meaning to share. The first focused on spring home decor trends and included helpful tips from some of my favorite design bloggers and interior designers. All of their ideas were inspiring, although I will admit that my attempt to use a metallic pouf in my apartment didn't really work out. Nico loved using it at an oversized bowling ball in our hallway, but my Mom commented that it stood out too much. She compared it to a gold tooth in someone's mouth. I saw her point and sent it back. For the record, I still think they're cool and would love to find a way to use one some day.

Another project launched right before the season five premiere of Mad Men, one of my favorite shows. It included ideas for 60s style decorating inspired by the series. I'd never really paid much attention to the sets with Mr. Don Draper being so distracting and all, but now I can't stop. Oh and I happen to have two of those lamps above and love them. Mine are bright yellow and they look incredible against dark navy walls.

Most recently, two NYC party planners were nice enough to tell me their top tips for effortless entertaining and I rounded up tea recommendations, recipes and pretty accessories for a Mother's Day slideshow.

In other news, I recently became a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson at Garfield Realty and am now able to help people buy and sell homes in NYC. If you or someone you know is looking for a place to live, I'd be happy to help! Read my full bio here.
