I was lucky enough to celebrate New Year’s in my new favorite city, New Orleans. I’ve been a fan of the crescent city for years but it wasn’t until this trip that I truly felt it was MY New Orleans. A BFF now lives here, so I had a home base in the French Quarter [...]
All of us here at Sensational Color, along with the world, mourn the extreme loss of life for the people of Haiti. We talk about how color can change one’s life…so this week we ask you to please pay very close attention to the healing powers of red and blue.
Two trusted sites are also represented [...]
I recently visited my BFF in LA – a place I always love to go. As a New Yorker,I’m not supposed to love Los Angeles , but it’s one of my favorite places on Earth. What’s not to like ? Constant sunshine, a daily dip in the Melrose Place type pool, lots of yummy ethnic [...]
I have the privilege of knowing some very talented people and can’t wait to share their stories with you. Joe Grant is a wonderful man, talented artist, and all around good time friend (and a pretty awesome drummer) . I got the opportunity to visit him and his lovely wife Tracy, also an amazing artist and [...]
I woke up last Thursday morning with a huge grin on my face. In just 10 hours Kim and I were about to see NY firemen calender models in their undies…or at least Bjorn Borg’s undies. Maybe I’m still dreaming ? I sprang out of bed planning my outfit and looking forward to blow outs [...]
I am always on the lookout for something affordable to brighten and refresh my space (and life) . Last weekend I was inspired by both a trip to Jones Beach and a stroll along Columbus Ave. to my eventual destination - the Jonathan Adler store.
I last went into the J Adler store (my Mecca of sorts) and [...]
On the advice of a friend, a textile designer no less, I visited the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum this weekend. I had never been to this gem at 91st and 5th ave, an outpost of The Smithsonian housed in an Andrew Carnegie mansion. What a treat ! Visit www.cooperhewitt.org to plan your visit.

I have lamented in an earlier post about longing for a garden. I grew up in the South and gardening was a part of my life, especially in the summer. As a girl growing up in Virginia, all summer long we reaped the benefits of a vegetable and fruit garden. I can still taste the fresh [...]
The New York Botanical Garden had its 17th annual Antique Garden Furniture Show and Sale the weekend of May 3rd, 2009. What luck that I made a visit to the gardens to celebrate a friend’s birthday that very day. Even though I was in my rain boots, I have to say it was one of [...]
April 1st, 2009 – I am in line for the Martha Stewart show to be in the audience. Every woman in the line and I share something very special…our name is April. How cool is that ? Now, I’ve had 2 best friends named April growing up (Hello April Porter and April Higgs) but not [...]
