Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at A Day in the Eighteenth Century at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, GreenRow’s first store opening, and Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ 2026 Southeastern Designer Showhouse. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
A Day in the Eighteenth Century at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs
The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris is inviting visitors to step inside the world of an eighteenth-century hôtel particulier with its new exhibition, A Day in the Eighteenth Century: Chronicle of a Parisian Townhouse. Rather than presenting decorative arts as isolated objects, the show recreates the rhythm of daily life inside an aristocratic Parisian residence in the years leading up to the French Revolution.
Moving room to room, visitors follow the flow of the household from morning to evening, passing through spaces such as the dining room, gaming salon, and the boudoir. The exhibition shows how these interiors were not only beautifully decorated but designed for the rituals of social life, from leisurely mornings to lively evenings spent entertaining.
More than 550 objects are included throughout the townhouse setting, from furniture and silver to ceramics, textiles, dress, and jewelry. Seen together, they give a fuller picture of the craftsmanship and refinement that made Paris the epicenter of luxury in the eighteenth century.
The Glam Pad adores opportunities to learn about interiors in this way, not just as beautiful rooms, but as history where daily life unfolded. Exhibitions like this offer a fascinating glimpse into how people lived, entertained, and moved through their homes centuries ago. A Day in the Eighteenth Century: Chronicle of a Parisian Townhouse is on view now through July 5, 2026.
GreenRow Opens Its First Store
There is a cheerful new arrival in New York City! GreenRow, the colorful home brand from Williams-Sonoma has opened its first brick-and-mortar shop, bringing the brand’s fresh and optimistic approach to interiors into a real-life setting.
The new space has been designed to feel more like a home than a traditional showroom, inviting visitors to slow down and wander through rooms that truly show GreenRow’s signature mix of joyful color, traditional forms, and thoughtfully crafted pieces. The full assortment is on display, including furniture, lighting, bedding, rugs, and tabletop, alongside original artwork and a small selection of vintage and found pieces.
What we particularly appreciate is the brand’s focus on responsible design. From FSC-certified wood furniture to upholstery made from natural materials, the collection centers on pieces designed to last and age beautifully over time. We love a good patina! It is a thoughtful approach that balances craftsmanship, timeless style, and comfort. To celebrate the opening, GreenRow hosted a grand opening weekend, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the New York Botanical Garden. If you happen to be strolling through SoHo, it is certainly worth popping in for a look, or shop online here.
Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ 2026 Southeastern Designer Showhouse
Spring showhouse season is upon us, and one event we always enjoy following is the Southeastern Designer Showhouse presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. Now in its eleventh year, the annual event returns April 16th through May 10th in Atlanta’s Chastain Park area, bringing together top designers from across the Southeast while supporting an important cause.
The newly built residence, designed by Hask Custom Homes in collaboration with architect Linda MacArthur and interior specification designer Claudia Stimmell, embraces a refined European transitional style which we love. Spanning roughly 8,000 square feet, the home pairs classic architectural details such as a brick façade, limestone accents, and a charcoal slate roof with interiors that feature curved plaster walls, herringbone wood floors, and richly layered materials.
Nineteen designers have each taken on a space within the home, including rooms by Suzanne Kasler and Matthew Quinn, creating a incredible mix of interiors to explore. Visitors can tour the home throughout the run of the showhouse and enjoy a lively schedule of events, including designer panels, gardening classes, and floral arranging workshops. This year’s showhouse benefits Solidarity Sandy Springs, a local food pantry for families and individuals in the community. Tickets can be purchased here!
