Who out there loves a makeover? I do! I do! A client had this piece of furniture in her living room. It was lovely but tired, and it needed repair. The client wasn’t sure whether it should stay or go. We weren’t sure what to call it. It didn’t quite seem like a sideboard, which …
NYT, thanks so much for including me in Steven Kurutz's article today, "Relax. There's Plenty of Room."

Bossy color is in today's Washington Post, in the District Local Living section! The fabulous Terri Sapienza has written an article called "10 first pieces that will last." It's about the best investment furniture for recent graduates.
If you're hell-bent on avoiding the Ikea abyss, on what piece of furniture should you splurge?

Dear Restoration Hardware,
I am a former fan who is worried about you....
