Entrepreneur and author, Joanna Goodman, recently moved into a beautiful new home with her husband and two children, and already her space exudes an atmosphere of prettiness and refinement. Joanna is the owner of Au Lit Fine Linens, and thus it was not surprising to find that the beds were all showroom perfect, and each room was impeccably styled. Especially engaging were her children's rooms, replete with toys, collections, and whimsical objects.
I love when my work and social life collide, like one summer afternoon in August when freelance author, writer, editor, and (full disclosure) my dear friend, Vanessa Farquharson, let me stop by to take some photographs of the home she shares with her husband (and also my dear friend) Jacob. In between sipping lemonade and catching up, I documented the vignettes of their house that have remained despite the house being in a state of transition; remnants of a recently flooded basement occupied their dining space, and her office (which she has aptly named “the officery”)
Since working at Art Interiors, I have marked almost every significant occasion in my life through the acquisition of a new work of art. My most prized pieces I make sure to hang where I can see and enjoy them most often. Here is a glimpse at the works I wake up to every morning.
When this client showed me around his home, that he shares with his wife and three children, his passion for collecting art and antiques was palpable. Each object, be it a work of art, lalique perfume bottle, or antique jewellery container, had a backstory which captured a mood or marked a significant event.
I could have spent the entire day talking to the charming designing duo Andrew Bottecchia and Hal Eisen, of Bottecchia Artistic Group Inc., when I visited them at their stylish penthouse last week. It was inspiring and refreshing to experience a space so dominated by art and see a collection replete with portraiture. While I slowly absorbed the works, the two passionately discussed the origins of individual pieces and their interactions with the artists and dealers. Hal, having been a collector of art since his teens, quickly passed on his addiction to Andrew when the two met.
