Unexpected Tour of NYC

Years from now, we’ll still be gushing with delight when we remember how we spent Christmas Eve 2011.  Missing our connecting flight to be with family in Miami could have resulted in a dull and frustrating December 24th at a New Jersey airport.  But, sometimes when life throws you a lemon, you really can make lemonade!

Sans winter clothing (we were supposed to be in Florida), we hoped the train to Penn Station in downtown Manhattan.  First stop was the Empire State Building on a bright, crisp sunny morning.  Next, we toured Manhattan in an open bus (cold, but incredible!)  Through the passionate eye and cutting NYC humour of our tour guide, Carol, we saw everything from Times Square to the Soup Nazi’s restaurant.   A Welcome to NYC brochure said it all:  ”Don’t worry that you won’t have time to see everything… you’ll be back.”

And, YES, we certainly will!

home in wolfville

Thought I’d share some images of a beautiful home that I was contracted to photograph for architect, Vincent den Hartog.  Vincent has a gift for designing homes that gently settle into the landscape, looking as thought they’ve been there for decades.  The interiors were designed by David Ripley of Beacon Hill Designs, who so thoughtfully created such a beautiful and homey space that I’ll bet not a change has been made since he plumped the last cushion on the sofa.  This home certainly required no staging on photo day!

Until next time,
Deborah

I love how Studio 54 co-founder, legendary hotelier, and design devotee Ian Schrager, chose to light the lobby of The Public Hotel in Chicago.  Lighting the walls in you’re home or business creates a room that’s flattering and comforting  for … Continue reading →

After a good night’s sleep and a large cappuccino (and lots of guidance from my live-in web guru), I spent all day Sunday switching over to WordPress from Blogger.  Glad I did. I’m enjoying the friendly, new interface and I’m … Continue reading →
