Have you watched Pie in the Sky? Amazing, the mad Warhol star, turned needlepoint enthusiast. So rich and true to see the evolution, growth, changes of the person from icon to...? Edie is frozen in time, free child, greedily grabbing from the medicine cabinet - but she could've been 64 one day, too.

I loved her needlepoint pillows, A friend of mine had three of them. They were pretty droll.

I know I shouldn't say this - but who the hell does the dusting?

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
