Danielle Rollins for Kips Bay Show House Palm Beach
I refuse to post anything more winter related. I’m over it and I’m sure most of the country feels the same way. So let’s look at the very flattering peachy pink colored bedroom suite designed by Danielle Rollins for the Kips Bay Show House Palm Beach. She said she was inspired by the Florida sunset and wanted to create a room that was more than just a bedroom. The jumping off point was a framed Hermes scarf hung on the wall. The walls are Benjamin Moore Phoenix Sand while the custom drapery panels by The Shade Store create drama in fabrics from Fabricut and Stroheim. Underfoot is a beautiful floral print rug from The Rug Company and on the walls are Danielle’s new pieces for Wendover Art. Custom linens by Walker Valentine dress the bed and of course Danielle’s fashions hang in the closet by California Closets. The bar table suggests you fix yourself a drink and stay a while which is what many people are doing in the room and now you can see why.

A Taste Of BAFTA
I was invited to attend Taste of BAFTA and my food was complimentary. I was not paid to attend and was not under contractual obligation to write this blog post.
I’ve never been invited to the BAFTAs and let’s face it I probably never will be… but the other day I got pretty close when I was invited along to the luxurious Grosvenor House Hotel in London’s Mayfair to try the food and drink that would be served on the night. If you didn’t know The British Academy of Film and Television Arts is a charity supporting film in the UK and the awards recognise the best British and international contributions to film.
Our evening started off with a Q & A with actor Jonathan Pryce who has had an incredibly prolific career in film, theatre and television including blockbusters such as Evita, Tomorrow Never Dies, Pirates of the Caribbean as well as a role in Game of Thrones and recently The Wife alongside Glenn Close.
After the fascinating Q & A we were led downstairs to a rather grand private dining room where the chefs were present to describe the catering that guests could expect on the actual day of the EE British Academy Film Awards 2019. The actual awards will take place on the 10th of February at the Royal Albert Hall with Joanna Lumley presenting for the second time. There’s a stellar line up of nominees and films including The Favourite, A Star is Born and Green Book with Glenn Close, Olivia Colman and Lady Gaga being nominated for best leading actress and Christian Bale, Remy Malek and Bradley Cooper in the line up for best actor.
But how about the other line up that you’re interested in?
First of all the champagne served will be of vital importance and Champagne Taittenger is sponsoring this year. As for wine attendees can expect some of the very best Villa Maria from New Zealand to tantalise the taste buds.
For starter guests can expect a house-cured Scottish salmon with Devonshire crab, dill pickled cucumber, beetroot and horseradish cream. The vegetarian starter is also suitable for vegans and is a salad of grains, kohlrabi and apple with carrot and sesame relish and apple jelly.
The main course was a delicious roast breast of guinea fowl, celeriac and truffle puree, confit guinea fowl leg and red onion marmalade bon bon, mini fondant potato, tender stem broccoli, Chantenay carrots with juniper infused jus. Again the alternative main course can be enjoyed by vegetarians and vegans alike and consists of wild mushroom, chestnut croustillant with caramelized onion puree, roast sweet potato, salsify and tomato sauce.
Dessert will be a clementine and yuzu delice with pomegranate gel with an almond crush.
I may not be walking the red carpet any time soon but it was wonderful to feel like one of the stars for the night and sample the food that they would be eating. A big thank you to BAFTA for hosting me!

Off to the Races
While I’ve yet to discuss my 2019 goals here (there’s still 1 days left in the month – plenty o’ time to figure things out), one of my biggest points of focus for the new year is my house. If you’ve been a long time reader, then you well know about our historic Victorian renovation project, but you may have lost track of how much time I’ve spent on it. I haven’t. We’re entering year five. FIVE.
I realize that might sound excessive, but in fact a project of this length is actually totally realistic when dealing with a gut renovation of a very old house. And realistic when you’re wanting to do things right, rather than quickly (or free). I haven’t been willing to compromise. I feel like This Old Victorian (and I!) deserve that. But I am determined to finally, finally, finally call the house finished this year. So over the next few months I’ll be sharing some of the final steps I’m taking to polish this baby off.
While I talked about my master bedroom before the end of the year, and I have a very fun update on that coming soon, I’m also still tinkering with my dining room. I’ve actually been hunting for a very particular design unicorn for this space. I know what you’re probably thinking. Wait, haven’t we already seen your dining room like tons of times? Well, yes, yes you have, but it’s always been in a holding pattern. I’ve yet to realize my true vision for this space.
You see, I’ve been holding out for is a very particular dining table – a racetrack table.
Racetrack dining tables feature long straight sides and rounded ends – resembling a racetrack. These tables are not oval. That is a key differentiator.
A racetrack dining table can be narrower, but longer allowing you to still accommodate large dinner parties (goals!). I also really love how these tables are still softly curved. It’s exactly what my highly angular dining room desperately needs. A racetrack table’s curved ends also echo my beloved curved windows.
Now that I have my dream table design identified, I still have to consider materials. Your materials selection can create dramatically different vibes. A marble racetrack table feels very elevated and elegant (and like stain magnet – I still have a preschooler after all.) Honed stone could be really stately. A lighter oak table could read more rustic while a deep walnut could really anchor the room.
Now do you see why this has taken me so long?? This one of what’s probably added up to a million decisions I’ve had to make about this house. But I’m continuing to continue to hunt for my dining table unicorn. And I guess I should start looking for dining chairs while I’m at it!
