A CHARMED EVENING WITH MARIO BUATTA & ELISSA CULLMAN
Wednesday, October 16, 2013
What a fantastic party Thursday night at the Antique & Artisan Center celebrating Mario Buatta and Ellie Cullman. The gallery looked absolutely fabulous and it was all we could do not to walk out with a treasure. (Thankfully the books weighed too much to carry anything else!) Mario, and his hilarious sense of humor, once again charmed and dazzled as he signed his only “tomb” highlighting his 50 years in the biz. Asking him how he looked back on the project? “A lot of very hard work”. I can only imagine!
The guests of honor! Living legends who both bring unparalleled excellence to the world of design. (You have to love that Pagoda!)
These books weighed a ton but are an encyclopedia of their work.
Always charming and funny -even when you bump into him at the Brunschwig showroom. Careful which hand you shake!
You know you have made it when you have your own Absolut ad.
Looking through his book reminds us how fabulous the career of the “Prince of Chintz” has been. He really did pioneer fabulous yet comfortable living in the grandest way. It is impossible to deny the place in the history of decorating he has earned.
A Palm Beach loggia…..perfect spot for a martini.
A Southampton center hall colonial. Look at those hand painted walls.
The Master Bedroom of Morristown Manor House.
Ellie and her partner Tracey Pruzan are as elegant as they come. Their interiors reflect their uber style.

PICK OF THE WEEK-Foo Dogs, Gucci and Candlesticks
Monday, September 23, 2013Abigail’s Pick: A great addition to anyone’s collection of curio. Love these we saw at the Antique Center.
Great on a bookshelf. Great colors on this pair!
I would use them as bookends.
You can always find something at the Antique Center to jazz up a room for a good price.
A pop of turquoise is always interesting in a room. These are a nice size as well.
Go check these out!
Kim’s Pick: I just love these candlesticks! They really stand out and will make an impact anywhere. Put on a dining room table or a front hall console . 
To give you an idea of how great they would look on a table….what a pop of bling.
The richness of this room would be a great addition.
Who doesn’t love vintage Gucci! The handle is my favorite part.

PICK OF THE WEEK-a pair of lamps, a marble, garden table, and a chic dress.
Monday, September 16, 2013Abigail’s pick: We start with these gorgeous tole lamps. Simple yet high impact, and would look gorgeous against any lacquered wall. We are thinking a white lacquered front hall, or against one of de Gournay’s marvelous wallpapers. Great “bang for the buck” at $225 for the pair.
Perfect anchors to any front hall table or console.
Not a bad price.
KIM”S PICK: A little off topic but The Antique and Artisan Center is full of fantastic vintage clothing, bags and jewelry.
So much to choose from. This dress caught my eye.
A pop of color. You might also find a fabulous David Webb necklace to go with it!
Loved this coffee table. Its larger than you think and would add so much style to any sunroom or terrace.
A very solid piece.
A fabulous way to dress up any room for a very reasonable price.

86 Nearwater Lane
Tuesday, March 5, 2013If you are a customer who is looking for a truly magical experience, looking for landscaping that goes beyond the classic colonial rose garden, or peony bed, you must see 86 Nearwater Lane. Spring is almost here and gardens are on our minds. This house will get anyone with or without a “green thumb” in the mood! Listed by Megan Melhope at Kelly Associates, offered at $2,795,000.
Beautifully laid Belgian Block adds interesting architecture to the landscape in front of the house.
The design of the house takes advantage of every opportunity to bring the outdoors in.
An absolutely beautiful and special property over looking Goodwives River. Although more visible in the winter, there are glimpses of water through the trees. It’s so close!
A lower level terrace offers you the option of being down in the garden.
Another peaceful spot. Maybe this is where you sit in the heat of the summer. So cool, and shady.
The variety of plants, both shady and for full sun, really create a unique outdoor experience here in Darien.
LOVE garden sculpture, urns, and planters. This place offers a fantastic opportunity to go crazy at a place like Treillage! Or go down to the Stamford Antique and Artisian Center. You will find fabulous pieces for the garden there.
It feels so far removed from the rest of Darien down here. Its so private.
Almost as though you were in another country.
Not a bad rear view!
The house is more than 6000 square feet. It has 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 3 half baths, and a total of 14 rooms all within a unique floor plan that offers lots of entertaining space. The expected top of the line custom kitchen and finishes throughout the house were not half as impressive as the basement/utility room that is as clean and tidy as battle ship. Needless to say this house is meticulously maintained. What agents like to call “move in condition” . We like to say “just bring your decorator”!
If you are currently working with an agent, this is not a solicitation.
