The past week I have been working on a MASSIVE move for a suburban client (read: huge home with many many rooms in which to store stuff). The packing of their home of over 40 years required 4 large moving trucks that were crammed, professionally, of course with more cardboard boxes than I care to count and fortunately that was not my job ... read more
Many years ago when I was a student in London, Time Out magazine was my bible. This indispensable city guide was my ticket to culture, cuisine and cool. I still feel that way about the magazine - especially when they feature something as awesome as this... yep, that would be me! well, really my apartment, but we're somewhat one & the ... read more

An excellent addition to the team, we are still fine tuning his role in the company. We believe Tater Tot has a bright future in the pr department as he has taken a dozen ... read more
Now is the busiest time in a visual artist's calendar year - October's prep for holiday has segued to November's installation. While I may be hip deep in glitter and fairy dust that doesn't mean I should shirk my blog writing responsibilities. Very early this morning when I was rolling out of Bergdorf Goodman's employee exit, I was thrilled to ... read more

Recently, I stumbled upon Ryan Roberts' brilliant and hilarious photo work. I could have easily purchased the entire collection! Since I want to acquire (another) brother for Little Bit, I ... read more

Recently I had been approached by a potential customer who really liked the epoxy resin frames that fill the shop. She wanted the silver art deco ... read more

From my 2nd floor opened window perspective there was a lot of posturing and zero punching. The antagonist, who could easily be a ... read more
Well, technically no fish will be caught, only sun rays. The hardworking staff of photojeanie, apartmentjeanie & partyjeanie will be taking an extended re-mix summer holiday to ensure fall freshness! There are clients to meet, surfing to watch and actual book reading to be done. Hope the rest of your summer is hot & ... read more
In light of the most recent installment in the ‘how to be a gracious guest’ series, it has been brought to my attention the excuse reason many do not send a thank you note is out of ignorance as to what to actually write. As surprised as I may feign, this is not my 1st time I have given a correspondence tutorial. Many, many ... read more
It has been a lovely event – you danced, drank and dined and now it is time for you to depart. And at the appropriate time too – not the first to leave, but certainly not the last. You do NOT want to be that person. The last to leave is neither helpful nor welcomed – just lingering because there is alcohol available and ... read more
