In many of our client meetings of late the subject of the
"bar" and location of said "bar" has been of utmost
importance. I have one client who wanted the bar in their bedroom (and NO
that is not a morning bar). Another who suggested the master bath and yet
another who talked of having one in not only the living room, but the dining room and also poolside. I think
this just goes to show how important gracious entertaining is as the focal point of
the ever so gracious home. I've always been a huge fan of the bar cart or the
table top bar display- there is something about it- so very warm, welcoming and ever- ready
for a party. It reeks of special occasion-ness and every day frivolity, just
make sure that in your coterie of acquaintances you have at least one master
mixologist! So cheers everyone - it's five o'clock somewhere!

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
They say "the cobbler's children have no shoes"
... well in this instance this is certainly not the case! Ronda Rice Carman's
new book Designers at Home, Personal Reflections on Stylish Living beautifully illustrates the intimate spaces
of fifty leaders of design world. In my opinion, there is no space like that of
your own home that says more about your personal style and aesthetic. That
being said, we as designers, probably have a love/hate relationship with
designing our own spaces. Our standards are exacting and sometimes (often) our
taste preferences certainly exceed our pocketbooks (speaking for myself, of
course). I remind my children frequently as they are complaining about my
obsession with household details that I get paid good money to be OCD.
Our homes are our canvases on which we craft our art, so
thank you Ronda for such a thoughtful glimpse into these extraordinarily
talented designers' self-portraits!
