Tommy's Old Place

"Stone Hill is the eleventh residence that upscale interior designer Cindy Rinfret has decorated for
Tommy Hilfiger. The world renowned fashion designer’s home on Round Hill Road in Greenwich stands as an example of true Fairfield County grandeur."

I came across this and fell completely for it. As it happens, this is the home of Tommy Hilfiger.

And from what I can gather he did not do his own home.

There is quite a bit of black. (which is my fave)
I just think black just balances things out .....at least in 'my world' it does.

This room is okay. It is a bit boring to me.
As Stone Hill is now on the market for sale, Rinfret will soon be helping Hilfiger decorate a new duplex penthouse in the Plaza Hotel of Manhattan. This home is offered by Sotheby’s International Realty Janet K. Milligan 203-869-4343

But this bathroom looks just right for me to get ready for Saturday.

Retail Hell Day.

I have a decent  presentation on Monday.So I will be working on it this weekend, along with meeting new clients as well. 
Did you know I often fantasize that I am  singing and dancing my way around the showroom with a new prospect. 
I am kidding.
Well, maybe if I had Madonna's body.....


PS Do you like zebra accents in a room?

I May Have The Key, But The Door Is Still Too Small To Fit Through!!

This is a design issue that I dealt with the other day at work .....

The client had a small unused room in their home that they wanted to utilize as a

a very cozy TV / media room.

They had purchased a leather Natuzzi sectional. After waiting 6 months for the custom piece...

it would not fit in the room. No way, no how! They tried everything.

They explained that the door to the room was too small, and later.... after much probing,

they explained the hallway to the room had angles as well.

They were stuck with this custom sofa and were now forced to use it in the living room.

Which they did not want to do....but they didn't know what else to do with it. And now, they were forced to redecorate the living room too. ( boo hoo)

This was an expensive mistake for them!

As a designer I love stories like these.

Not that I wish people to make costly mistakes,

but it just makes sense to get professional help when making big design decisions and spending big bucks.

So, if you have a small doorway to the entrance to a room, and the hallway to the room has angles.........

I have a solution which that they were very happy with, and you might be too.....

MODULAR SEATING.

(love this sofa)

If you wish to, you can fill a room with seating....wall to wall with a modular sofa.

Alternatives to modulars sofas (which technically are individual seats added to one another to make a sectional)

are love seat sized ARMLESS sofas. You can add more pieces just be aware of the size. Don't go over 72" on the armless sofa.

If you absolutely need to have arms, you can add the corner pieces of the sectional..

*armless is easier to get into tight halls and small doorways. To get more ideas go here-

Have a great day! :)

Use A Feather

Feathers have embellished our surroundings for centuries, including what we wear.

Nobody wears feathers like Cher, no?

Feathers are glamorous.

Fabulous really.

Below a picture taken from from my design website,

I have two tall matching floral arrangements on either side of an elevator door and on the very top are feathers.

*And for those of us who suffer from perfectionism, I suggest using a feather when beating yourself up for not doing something perfectly!

This SOFT feather will do just fine.

Feather trims for pillows, floral arrangements, even on a sofa instead of bullion fringe.

Yes, sewn into upholstery. It is wild and beautiful if done in a way that you have to look twice to realize it is trimmed in feathers. Not too outrageous, just a tiny 'pop' that is a quiet 'wow factor'.




* to get feather trim go this site- click here

Where to get the tall plumes 15 to 40 inches

(they are actually wing feathers) click here

Have a nice weekend...........love to all my friends and supporters!!

It is Saturday for me today, which means 'retail hell'.....I am off to work.
