Arch Digest - It's Aliiiiiiiiiiive! Thanks to pint sized power house Margaret Russell & Co.,

 

 

 Finally, after all these years Architectural Digest is something to covet!  The March 2011 issue of Architectural Digest is a must see, must read!  

I adore the Fifth Avenue home of Daphne Guiness, which is shown above.  At the helm, architect/interior designer Daniel Romuladez.  Who also designed the lovely home of Tory Burch.

Overflowing in style with its hall of mirrors, ebonized floors, veracious color and velvet.   I would never imagine three teen aged children live here, but they do and fabulously well (I might add).

It has all the high gloss images we love to see in Elle Decor and our favorite other shelter magazines.  Champagne parties have to be overflowing at the AD offices with this one!  Gone are the 'granny panty' interiors projects typically shown in AD we 'used o know'.  

For all of us who wondered "what is Margaret going to do?" we have our answer.  The baby has been delivered and...

This baby is ALIVE! and it's screaming... I AM HERE!  Congratulations to the AD team!

Elle Decor - February 2011

Elle Decor's February 2011 issue is on the stands and in the mailbox.  Michael Boodro continues to bring it!   I thought some strange rivalry might rear it's head between he and Margaret Russell, new Editor-in-Chief at Architectural Digest.   But, being consumate professionals that will never happen.

AD is vastly improved with Margaret at the helm.  I actually enjoy reading it now.  Strangely, I haven't been able to say that for years!  Just like alot of you, I'm sure.

Looking forward to peeling the pages of Elle Decor.  One of my design crushes Steven Gambrel has a project published.  Daniel Boulud cooks up something smashing.  And of course Bunny Williams checks in with her latest installment of refinery.

Let me know what caught your fancy best.  Tea time!
