Thursday - New York

The past few days I’ve been in NYC meeting with manufacturers of my home accessory line. Today I took a little free time to find inspiration at one of my favorite stores, Charlotte Moss Townhouse www.charlottemoss.com

This 5 story landmark home is merchandised as if it were Charlotte’s own home.

My favorite find today was the custom wallcovering Charlotte created to mimic alligator skin (seen below). The green cut velvet pattern has a dramatic effect against the grey painted trim and casework. Grey’s are the big color this year, especially when paired with a potent dose of purple or green.

The library on the 2nd floor is my favorite room. I can not get enough books - they make a home feel like a home.

THIS WEEKEND IN AUSTIN TEXAS:

I leave for Texas tomorrow to speak at the Austin Home and Design show on Saturday. Austin Convention Center - 12:00 and 3:30 speaking times. I look forward to meeting those who have plans to be there - Kenneth
