Posh Pinterest Board of the Week: All About MY Art
Jun 03 2013 ·1While this week’s board is entitled ‘All About My Art‘, it doesn’t actually feature my art but rather that of my dear friend, artist Sandy Welch. Sandy has been involved with color since we first met selling lipsticks and eyeshadows with Clinique. Her best use of color is evident when she paints. Her brave use of technicolor shades of pinks, oranges, and yellows are my favorite ~ so vibrant and juicy you can almost taste them!
Come take a peek at a few of my favorite pins (paintings) by artist Sandy Welch…
Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, The Living Room
May 28 2013 ·0The Living Room is always the center of the home and a gathering place for family. It is a place to come together for celebrations, conversation and the making of memories. In this house the Living Room is literally and figuratively in the center of the home. The prime location means the space boasts breathtaking, panoramic views of the waterfront. This Living Room is also replete with character-building architectural details ~ which means we had another great starting point for our interior design. Come on in…
Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, Office, Foyer & Family Room
May 08 2013 ·1Continuing on with our tour of this lovely seaside home, today’s first stop is the Office. Located off the main Foyer, the Office is tucked behind French doors and is just far enough removed from the rest of the house to offer a quiet space to attend to business responsibilities.
This is the bland space that I viewed the first time I toured the house, rather sterile and not very inviting…
Pamela’s Posh Picks: Hot Seats from Janus et Cie
May 02 2013 ·0It’s been a beautiful stretch of weather here in the Boston area which means I’m spending more and more time outside on my terrace. While I love all of my current outdoor seating, I can’t help but take a peek at the offerings from my favorite source for outdoor furniture: Janus et Cie. Janus et Cie is the premiere resource for outfitting your deck, terrace or patio. Their designs are contemporary, elegant, and…hot!

Diary of an Interior Designer: Cape Cod Seaside Home, The Children’s Suite
May 01 2013 ·0At nearly every Designer’s Show House I’ve attended, the Children’s Room is always among the favorite spaces. Designing children’s spaces presents the opportunity to incorporate whimsical touches, plenty of color and to think like a child again ~ how grand! The Children’s Suite in the Cape Cod retreat seems to me the perfect place to start our tour…
Pamela’s Posh Picks: Brizo Kitchen Faucets
Apr 25 2013 ·2During a renovation, particularly a kitchen project, both the client and interior designer invest a huge amount of time in making choices for the space. Cabinetry, flooring, appliances, textiles, pulls and knobs ~ the list goes on and on. One of the final details to be selected for a kitchen is often the faucet. While it can be tempting to skimp in this area, both in consideration and budget, I urge you not to. A faucet, whether SmartTouch or traditional, is a tactile element and can literally improve the quality of life of those who use it regularly by making mundane tasks easier and more beautiful. If you are planning a kitchen renovation, strongly consider making your faucet a featured design element ~ you won’t regret it!
This week’s Posh Picks are faucets from my favorite manufacturer: Brizo. No one combines form and function more beautifully than Brizo…

What better space to showcase a Christopher Guy chair than in an entry? Take a look at this week’s Posh Picks: Christopher Guy in the foyer!…
Pamela’s Posh Picks: Metal Sculpture
Mar 21 2013 ·2With all of the imaginative and varied use of metal as a design element at our resort in Punta Cana, I thought I’d continue with that theme for this week’s Posh Picks!…
Matisse at the Met
Dec 19 2012 ·0While visiting NYC a couple of weeks ago I had the great pleasure of viewing the Matisse exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum during the member’s preview. The exhibit spanned his career and included paintings in pairs, trios and series. Matisse (1869-1954) was continually trying, as he put it, “to push further and deeper into true painting”. Along with my friend and fellow artist Page, we explored the exhibit, Matisse: In Search of True Painting.
