Designer Spotlight: An Interview with Danielle Rollins

I was in Atlanta and lucky enough to be invited over to Danielle Rollins' palatial house for a dinner. I was wandering around the house, admiring all of the wild details in every room - it was full-on decorating that the Southerners seem to have in their blood - what a spectacular world Danielle creates! It's been a lot of fun being in her showhouses and homes over the years. I...

Rock & Roll Palace

I had heard about “Jon from Woodstock” for many moons. He was a mythical figure who would descend on our sample sale and buy whatever crazy things I had made, from fabric covered bicycle rickshaws to huge walls of patched fabric. When we had something out of the ordinary, his name was muttered immediately, and I found out he was building a Shangri La Barn House / Rock & Roll compose-a-record-in-seclusion...

Designer Spotlight: At Home with Genevieve Gorder

Years back, Genevieve Gorder swept into my showroom (and life). She looked deeply into my eyes and said “I am going to know you”. Of course, I submitted to her many charms and we became design pals.  You may recognize Genevieve as an Interior Designer from one of her many shows including, but not limited to, Trading Spaces, Design Star, HGTV’s White House Christmas, and, most recently, Stay Here. She...

John's Connecticut Home

If you are reading this blog, you most likely know that I am a pattern and color junkie. I’ve never had the restraint to live in an all white room, or even an all white bed. I’ve always had a lot of simultaneous ideas, and I think my home reflects this jumble of patterns, stripes, prints, textures and colors. I suppose I spent too many years in art school where...
