"Up a steep and very narrow stairway . . . "

Greetings all,

One of my favourite surprises each weekend is seeing which wonderful home is featured on the New York Social Diary's "NYSDHome." And, yay, today's entry is the simply charming home of New York interior designer Garrow Kedigian. The space is filled with the most marvelous objects, the most lovely classical furnishings, and the wonderful light from the 5th floor windows. (yes, that piano came up all five floors.)



"Garrow himself says he was going for 'the abandoned mansion'
look and says that the French influence on his work
is an unconscious channeling of his summer visits in Paris
where his grandmother lives."

Once again, I'm simply in love with the simple, elegant colour story. I'm always impressed by anyone with a huge library. And I love seeing the kitchen tucked quietly away in the back corner behind the upholstered screen.
