"Lights, Camera . . . "
Good evening faithful reader,
Please pray fervently for me . . . lol. I've got a TV interview tomorrow afternoon and I have *NO* idea what I'm going to wear. Tim Gaskin of "OUT Spoken" is going to do a segment on my installation at Dining by Design last Novenber . It's been fun spending the last few days thinking about the fun (and horror) of that event. I think it will be broadcast the second week in February, but I'll let you know when the episode airs.
So tonight, in a mad effort to calm my nerves, I've been looking through some old 'inspiration' images that I keep in my files. It's one of my dream projects . . . either as an owner, or (maybe even better) as the designer.
The shots are from Ward Denton/Christopher Gardner's design for Glen Feshie Lodge in Scotland. I'm sure we're all clearly aware of my love of tartan and I love the subtle use of plaid textiles and beautiful antiques. The custom mural from the dining room are images of the surrounding property. I have always been deeply impressed with what Ward and Christopher were able to create.
Off to the closet to try a few more things before bed,

It is supposed to be broadcast the week of February 9th. I'll post info once I know something for certain.

and I ended up wearing an old black wool riding coat with an obnoxious bright pink/white gingham shirt and jeans.
And congrats on the interview!
thanks for the feedback!
as far as the tartans go . . here's what I know:
They are old textiles from Ralph Lauren (I used to work there for almost 15 years, and frighteningly, still remember the names of everything. . . lol)
top photo (on the dining chairs) is Cobblefield Plaid (not sure if it's still available)
second photo, Turnbell Plaid(on the bed drapes) and Knightsbridge Floral(on the window treatment). I think they're both still in the textile line.
Hope that helps!
I worked at Polo here in SF during the same time that Ward was in NY, but never had a chance to meet him . . . he's clearly a genius.
