Ted’s Tip No. 589
August 31, 2026
The use of mirrors can be one of the easiest design tips in the book. Large or small, they move around light so beautifully. They can make a small room feel larger, and they can give big rooms often much needed visual interest. Plus they give objects sitting in front of them extra dimension & depth.

An Orchid And A Lily Meet At The Bar
August 28, 2026
Flower Friday about a stylish orchid from stylish friends and a much loved bulbous Baccarat vessel filled with a spectacular lily in the corner of the living room where a small bar is set up. Both bringing big amounts of flower happiness this week as sublime August inches toward the finish line. X, Ted
The Magic Of Paint
August 27, 2026
This is a reminder for all of us—paint can be one of the most creative AND inexpensive ways to change something up. Be it a wall or room, dresser, table, the list is endless. In this case, it is a pair of lucite chairs our niece had that we inherited from one of her moves in Brooklyn. They had gotten cloudy and were in major need of a spiff up. Caretaker Bill’s son Sam to the rescue! We had told him we wanted a bright green, and he nailed it. He did a beautiful job on them and completely brought them back to life. We will be at Hawthorne in a few weeks and I can’t wait to put them into action when we have guests over for a meal.
