Peg's Living Room At The Beach

I am running today. Have a meeting with a publisher, and many places to see in Soho, and my friend's office, the epitome of high fashion. We did the High Line yesterday and it was fabulous beyond belief! I took tons of photos for all you gardeners out there. Today is my actual birthday, and there's a party tonight.


Alberto and my friends have turned this into an amazing celebration, with invitations for the beach, the country, apartments shared, parties given...well it's good to be 60! Alberto and I are walking a lot, dancing, and enjoying the city and our friends. Everything is perfect.


I have so many photos that it will take weeks to share them! So I am starting with Peg's beach house. And I am just showing the living room photos today! Stay tuned for the rest of the house. You can click on the images for larger photos.

Peg calls her Alfred Scheffer cottage a chic house. She and her two daughters live there in the summer.



Everything is very sweet and feminine. It's all so pretty, and it makes you feel pretty.

Shades of Rose Tarlow! Look at this ivy creeping into Peg's living room!

Peg has the gift of style. She is an expert arranger, layering the things she loves to collect.


Simple and unpretentious, charming and welcoming are her grace notes.


She mixes painted and wood furniture to great effect.


Her collections of smalls is nuanced and invites you to dream up a back story.


Even tough there is a lot to look at, the arrangements are not cluttered or overdone.

Slip covered comfy furniture is a classic Peg employs.
