In honor of Mother's Day, here's Jason and John with Jason's fab parents, Jary and Lois, at a wedding in Minneapolis last summer. Lois is working the vintage Marni and Ted Muehling earrings.
John and I spent today, Sunday, working with a client to help pull together her Manhattan living room, sort of high-concept “staging.” Our fab client has just moved into the apartment, so there were still loads of boxes–the place looked like a chic jumble sale when we walked in this morning at 9am. And this after a night of hard partying at Rasputin nightclub on Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn where we kicked back vodka and blini until the wee hours with our trusty helper, Blair.
Even though we were just a tad hungover, we had a fabulous day, and here are the results. Why not create a “moment” like this in your own home with artwork…
And remember that this project is very much a work in progress, so it’s still a little rough around the edges:
John and I bunched two vintage Dorothy Draper Espana chests together in a niche and decided to hang several of our client's fabulous vintage portraits above.
P.S. Here's the living room as it looked when we walked in this morning.
The wall is ready to be clothed: Bring on the artwork!
John edits out portraits from our client's vast collection.
Jason holds up a fab painting of a gal in red to see how it looks above the Espana chests.
John gets busy with the artwork...
John hangs even more artwork. Looking good, n'est-ce pas?
Here are the chests with the artwork hanging overhead. We added a few props, and voila!

I am so grateful to you guys. You magically transformed the place from lame to lame’ (and by “magically” I mean with vision, talent, and sensitivity). You are the sweetiest!
Your interior transforrations affect not only the abodes you touch, but the people that live in and love them. Your work must satisfy you both wholly!
Whoops! “Transformations”
