It’s a pleasure to come back to my old neighborhood to eat xiao long bao & su cai jiaozi at Dim Soup Dumplings. It reminds me of my time in Shanghai. Such wonderful memories! Good Chinese food is the best! Eat well, live well.

I love this table! The frame is a gorgeous patinated antique wood with the inlaid top in bronze. It was cast from the original wood plank top. It’s such an elegant Ming shape. I’m broken hearted that I no longer have a place to put it. Find it in the upcoming online auction on July 16th at Public Sale. Many pieces in the upcoming sale can be seen in my book, Creating Beauty (1st & last chapters).

Furniture looking for hood homes. Each piece looks much better in an interior setting vs listings in a catalogue or display. Why wait todays long lead times when auctions offer furnishings now? I will be sad to part with all these pieces, but they will bring joy to their next owners. One of a kind furnishings make one of a kind interiors. Mark your calendars for July 16th at noon at Public Sale auctions!

I loved this sophisticated child’s room! Everything at child’s size… including an extra upholstered mattress to pull out on the floor at night in case my daughter rolled out of bed. The o***m bed is hand carved in solid Wenge. The 18th century granddaughter’s clock has a beautiful hand engraved face… chimes if you wind it. The antique coffee table from John Rosselli with the primitive pine child’s chair made a perfect size desk for my daughter when she was young. That’s where she did her homework for years! All the furniture is looking for a new home now. Put in a bid : Public Sale Auction July 16th online.

This piece of furniture carries so many memories. It was once a part of an installation by Gu Wenda, and became the structure of this bookshelf and desk that was in our daughter’s room for years. The doors are antique windows from China, and the custom components that pull it together are all solid walnut. Beautiful joinery. It’s unique and an interesting example of repurposed furniture, which is good for the environment… and us all. I have no place to put it anymore which is heartbreaking, so it’s looking for a good home! It will be at auction at Public Sale online, to take place July 16th. Take a look, there will be many precious things to be sold!

I always loved tiger maple wood grain. This dresser c1860s has the most beautiful figuring and a charming shaped apron. Furniture isn’t made like this anymore, with traditional joinery. I love this piece but no longer have a place for it. It’s looking for a good home! Visit Public Sale auction online. It is included in their July 16th sale.

It’s so hard to downsize! Some beautiful furniture is looking for a new home at Public Sale auction on July 16th. There are many fine antiques and custom pieces! I designed this cabinet to store all kinds of things from a printer copier on a pull out shelf, files to a television . There are hidden doors at the ends and another in the top. The entire back is slatted to allow cables to connect to equipment inside. It is in 3 pieces to easily move it into a new location. The finish is a light Shou Sugi Ban, which is a Japanese technique of burning wood for its beauty and protection. The lamps are vintage library lamps, cast in bronze with new silk shades. They are beautifully made, and are fun left as skeletons, creating light patterns on the walls.

It’s so hard to downsize! I’m parting with so many furnishings I love. I designed these lamps to gently illuminate using battery powered wax candles. They are perfect for setting a mood or lighting an outdoor dinner where there is no electricity nearby. For a simple but elegant lifestyle. I hope they find a good home! Buy them at Public Sale auction on July 16th.

There are many handsome but simple details we can learn from ancient architecture. Mud walls from JiaYuGuan (built 1372), China. Staircase from Dunhuang caves, China (built 366ad). A structural wall made of red plants at Potala Palace in Tibet (built 1649). The layered roof support from Dunhuang Caves in China (built 366ad). All are beautifully fabricated, with timeless materials that express a magical sense of the ancient handwork. This would be just as beautiful today if incorporated in contemporary architecture. The ancients are such an inspiration!

Merry Christmas to all!
