Sunday Reflection…

I have been away for a bit and it feels great to be back.  I want to share this Tribeca penthouse apartment in the Greenwich Hotel.  A perfect spot for Sunday reflection…the genius of Tatsuro Miki, architect and Axel Vervoordt, interior designer.  For more views of this wabi sabi style 630 square meters apartment, visit cabbagerose tumblr.

The Alchemist…

…there are not enough adjectives to describe the work of the Belgian seer of beauty, Axel Vervoordt. “My style is more than it looks,” Vervoordt says. Indeed, his statement is true.  His vision is to inspire artists and audiences through discovering and transmitting the beautiful, with a deep respect for everything that is authentic.
