so glad we made it
thanks for all your support yesterday, it meant so much to me and i can’t even read it without crying. i can’t wait to visit you soon too. another day in ny then back down south. where it’s calm. (i just got back from a vegas weekend and NEED to zero out)!
leaving town forces you to do things that have been on the back burner…today was the Kips Bay Show House. needless to say i had a good time taking illegal pics. if you’re in the city, do GO dahling!
on another note, i’m excited to have been asked to donate to the ARTrageous Gala Dinner and Auction, so i’m giving away a trip to paris in the fall with our group. it’s for foster kids, a cause close to my heart. and it’s a good reason to go to Cipriani :)

Welcome back!!! So sorry that your faith in friends was tested. Glad you have come up for air and decided to stay ;-) Love the tubs you have in your post… both are calling my name. Your trip to Paris will be an incredible prize for some lucky bidder at the ARTrageous Auction…. How fabulous!

Not to get all 70′s on you, but like the man sang “Welcome Back…. your dreams were your ticket out…. who’d thought they’d need you? Back here where they teased you?…”
Nice couple of posts these! I’ll look forward to reading more (and some tips to help my mom redecorate my room, 25 years after the fact….)

Welcome back Claudia, I’m so glad you are still blogging away! Decorator show houses are the best! I’m glad you broke the law and took those fabulous photos. What would we (in bloglandia) do without you?:-)
Have a fabulous day!

So glad you are blogging again Claudia. Your posts always take me off into another place and a sweet escape from the daily grind. You inspire so many and we need you! Sometimes it’s good for the soul to stop (for however long it takes)and take a deep breath, reflect and clear the mind.~xo

Hi Claudia:
I just returned from Paris and was absolutely inspired. I hadn’t been back for almost 30 years and to my delight, it was so similar to my memories. There is truly something magical about the cite des lumieres. I am refreshing my French at the local Alliance Francaise…that is how moved I was. This college French Degree holder is BACK! Thank you for being here and I’m going to stay around to see your beautiful photos and to share your love for all things French! Merci Beaucoup, Meredith

seems you were most inspired by your travels….that blue nightstand makes my heart stop–the colors, the shape. just jaw-droppingly gorgeous….(i suppose we don’t know the effects a turquoise nightstand can have until we see one for the first time–a bit dramatic, maybe–but i can’t stop ogling it!~).

I’m so glad you took photos at Kips Bay- “officials” were hovering around so I couldn’t take any. But, I’m so glad you showed photos of the Kondylis Design room and that of White Webb- LOVED those rooms. Welcome back!
