- P.Gaye Tapp at Little Augury
- I have been an interior designer for more than 25 years & have an abiding passion for the original, the truth & 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 the hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure.
