The artwork of Agnes Martin has a quiet strength in its simplicity.

A love the combination of cane, leather and nail heads on these chairs.

The iconic galvanized steel console by the late San Francisco designer, John Dickinson, is a brilliant mix of a classical shape rendered in a very humble material.

My favorite new project and a beautifully proportioned home.

In my opinion, Mies Van der Rohe’s Farnsworth house is a masterpiece of post war architecture. The concept of raising the home on stilts gives it a lightness and transparency that could not have been achieved had it sat on a foundation.

The textural quality and scale of photographer Frank Thiel’s work is amazing.

I love the daring combination of the Francis Bacon portrait with the avant garde furniture of Lalanne in the Paris apartment of Giancarlo Giametti.

I love the mix of contemporary details and pieces within Veere Greeney’s traditional London home.

David Hicks AND jibs doors? Yes please.

Classical proportions in black and white.

I love this porphyry topped bronze console table by Maison Jansen. This would make a fabulous bar in my apartment!

When is a door more than just a door?

Add a little personality to any room.

The library of Brook Astor by designer Albert Hadley. Enough said.

Much like the city, this piece is a little rough around the edges.

What a great way to reinvent an otherwise uninspired vanity into a room maker.

My basenji’s Simon and Rita.

The surrealist nature of this table makes me smile.

The classic shape of T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings Klismos chair looks good in any setting. And I should know, I have two in my apartment!

Lets be real, who doesn’t like Ho-Made Candies?
