Harper’s Bazaar shot Tommy Hilfiger, his wife Dee and baby Sebastian at the family’s newly re-furbished duplex at The Plaza. They purchased it in 2008, and tried to sell it last year – for a mere $50 million – but now seem thrilled with the space, which the designer describes as”old-world atmosphere complementing the old-world [...]

Design Diary: Patricia McDonagh for This Old House
Earlier this year interior designer Tricia McDonagh emailed me about a project she had been working on with “This Old House.” To help celebrate its 30th anniversary season, they wanted to help the community where it got its start.

Design Diary: John Derian’s Provincetown House
Photos of John Derian‘s Provincetown cottage were published by Vogue Living a while back, as well as Martha Stewart Living. This week the Boston Globe featured it too. I still haven’t been into his shop, which is right behind the house, but I’ll try to go this weekend and take some photos. I’m off to [...]

Design Diary: Fotene Design at the Ritz
With the onslaught of new work, I’ve really fallen behind following up my published pieces with blog posts. Last night, as I was sorting through back issues of local mags and tear sheets, I realized I better get motivated. “A Study in Contrast,” a story about a newly married couple with unique challenges concerning color, [...]

Design Diary: Jane Austen’s Emma
Romola Garai and Johnny Lee Miller I never considered myself a Jane Austen fanatic. Until now. As my friend Meredith can attest, I’ve been “mildly obsessed.” PBS is airing a new Masterpiece Classic adaptation of Emma. I was so riveted that I asked WGBH (who knew Masterpiece Classic was produced right here in Boston?) to [...]
