It’s here! Grab your copy of the NYTimes to see Anne’s DUMBO apartment – or check it out online: article / slideshow. A special thank you to Tim McKeough, Trevor Tondro and Ryan Scherb, the outstanding writing and photography teams from the paper. We had lots of fun working with all them over the past few months.

Above / Art and objects on the wall collected over time. The large black and white photograph was a gift from Ryan’s best friend, Jeff Martin. The photo depicts a football game between rival high school teams Northfield and Deerfield in 1965, where a fire of the building behind the field wasn’t enough to even pause play! Photo was taken by Robert S. Van Fleet, courtesy of Northfield Mount Herman School archives.
The patterned chairs which inspired the article’s title are 1970s vintage (we didn’t reupholster!) from 1stDibs@NYDC.

Met Ball Fever!

Were you watching the live feed video on Vogue.com last night of the annual Met Ball red carpet? We were following the trending #MetBall on twitter and trying to catch as much as we could from our iPhone live streaming video of the celeb packed gala – which celebrates the opening of The Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute spring exhibition, “Impossible Conversations” which explores the connections between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada (check out a preview of the exhibition today on Habitually Chic).
In honor of last night’s celebration of fashion, we wanted to share one of our latest favorite resources for interiors related images: Fashion + Decor, developed by our friend, Gretchen Aubuchon. Fashion + Decor is a new database of style pairings – where your wardrobe meets your room. Here’s a quick snap of a few of their style pairs – including a Tilton Fenwick designed room (we were honored to be included!)

Wednesday Whine
It’s Wednesday; it’s rainy and we’re whiney. We decided to take this week off from the regularly scheduled blog program. Promise to be back monday, bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Until then, check out two professional photos of our Design on a Dime vignette benefiting Housing Works. Thank you thank you to photographer, Michael Rodenbush, who donated his time and talent and took these shots for us! We’re so proud to be a part of this incredible event, which this year raised $850,000 !!!
