Fans of Frank Sinatra and elegantly stunning bedrooms will enjoy this video tour of Belle Maison’s work in the room where most of us spend at least eight hours a day.

Located opposite New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, this spacious pre-war apartment is the second Manhattan dwelling designed by Belle Maison for a sophisticated, culturally active couple. The design grew from the floor coverings; hand woven Nepalese, Hamadan and Ushak rugs were chosen, whose color schemes, patterns and textures led to the furnishing choices. The style is contemporary/traditional, mixing comfortable furniture with antiques, framed by an eclectic collection of art. Here’s a quick video tour.

Friends tell me that my pace as a chef is very speedy, but I can’t compete with this video.

The result can be seen in this one-minute video, progressing from empty shell to finished room. The tile work in both baths is spectacular, and the rugs, wallpaper and furniture create a luminous environment in harmony with the tranquility of the shore.

Recently we were part of the team that completed a comprehensive renovation of a 120-year-old Colonial Revival home. Closing off two entrances and opening the wall to an adjacent room result in a spacious master bedroom suite. Custom cabinetry in both the master bedroom and living room help create warm, inviting spaces. Rich jewel colors of yellow, gold and red combine with plush fabrics to generate a sparkling interplay of light, pattern, and texture. This short video documents the process from empty space to finished project.

This video that records the process of creating my room in the last Show House I participated in, the Metcalf Estate in Rumson, New Jersey. I saw this room as a sanctuary at once sunny and whimsical, sophisticated and serene. The palette featured fresh, light colors; plaid, organdy and sheer fabrics, and ceiling and walls of patterned paper. In this perfect setting the nursery was home for twins—one boy and one girl, of course!
