I’ll miss your “entry way” photos in the full length mirror where you’d rigorously shoot PFW NYFW uniforms.. & we’d spy familiar items in the background..

the space you are in now feels like such a DREAM 💭 & you’ll b amazed how easy it is to find zillions of beautiful things on that auction app (? LiveAuctioneers ?)

I fully chandelier’ed, fortuny’d, George smith sofa’d a big old house just app’ing it up..

once I moved west last year it’s been equally fun to free it all into the world without angst.. as it had all just been auction beauty finds that fit that space & cost relatively little

I consigned nearly all of it to Resiklo in Red Hook.. they’re lovely. If you end up w pieces that don’t fit your space I recommend them (or for purchases.. they have a lot of MCM as well as “glam girl estate estate sale” like my quirky collection

Interesting read. Is there something like this for people building a house from scratch? it would be great to read a chronicle about that process. Thought you might know. Thanks!

Zaborski Emporium in Kingston is still my favorite architectural salvage spot within 2 hours of New York—worth a visit for the basement of doors alone!
