My dorm room was perched on the 26th floor of a Manhattan high rise. And that is where the glamour ended. While my view was dreamy and certainly provided me with a few pinch-me moments as an eighteen-year-old living on my own for the first time, the dorm room itself was an absurdly expensive concrete box with horrid lighting, bunk beds, and cold floors that would sweat in the summer humidity.
We had a strict policy of no upholstery and rugs, so any hope of quelling the surgical feel of the room with something plush was out the window. My black and white embroidered Restoration Hardware duvet that coordinated with my roommate’s was a point of pride. And, with limited wall space and a pack of poster tack, I tried my hardest to make my space a reflection of my style.
As the back-to-school season has come once again in full swing, my Tik-Tok feed (sorry, guilty pleasure) has been flooded with enthusiastic young ladies proudly showing off their completed dorm rooms that are nothing short of luxe. A favorite, Kaylyn Darnell of the University of Alabama, went viral last year for documenting her sorority rush experience and most notably her dorm room. With over two and a half million views, her bubbly personality and Chanel themed room struck a chord.
This year Darnell took to TikTok once again to give a grand tour of her bedroom in the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority house. A culture wildly unfamiliar to me, I was blown away by the level of detail, sophistication, and pride. More so than ever before, dorm rooms have become a vibrant display of aesthetics. Follow the hashtags #DormRoom and #DormDecor, and you’ll step into a world of videos where students unveil their magical makeovers, turning once barren spaces into lively havens.
And it doesn’t stop there. According to Town & Country, some students have taken to hiring interior designers to outfit their dorm rooms. Designers such as Mississippi-based After Five Designs and Essentials with Eden have garnered a substantial following with their dorm decorating services. With zeal and flair, they handle every aspect, starting from those initial exciting conversations, all the way through the hunt for perfect pieces, culminating in the exhilarating installations that breathe life into these student sanctuaries.
From upholstered headboards that cleverly fit over the wooden bed posts to peel-and-stick wallpaper and perfectly curated decor throughout, the dorms of today seem to be a far cry from what I experienced not too long ago. I have to say, I love it! The chance to express yourself and craft a sophisticated oasis even with the tiniest of canvases – it’s a recipe for nurturing a deep love for your space and embracing the art of living beautifully. There is nothing The Glam Pad celebrates more!
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 Peter Dunham’s “The Guest Bedroom”, Modern Matter x Schumacher, and The San Francisco Fall Show. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
The San Francisco Fall Show
The San Francisco Fall Show is just around the corner, and it may be the perfect excuse to make a trip to San Francisco. Since 1982, the annual show has brought together an incredible group of international dealers specializing in everything from fine and decorative arts to furniture, jewelry, textiles, and objects.
This year’s theme, Métallique Chic, celebrates metal in its many, many forms. Think Georgian silver, gilded surfaces, beautifully patinated bronze, Art Deco chrome, copper, and more sculptural modern pieces. Rather than limiting the show to a particular period or style, the theme offers a wonderful opportunity to consider how the same materials have been manipulated by artists and craftsmen across centuries.
The dealer list includes more than 40 exhibitors, including Charles Plante Fine Arts, Yew Tree House, Maison Felice, Philip Stites, Doris Leslie Blau, Kentshire, and BDDW. There is plenty for the serious collector, but also the joy of simply wandering the booths and discovering something new and exciting.
And, naturally, we have already studied the lecture schedule. Zac Posen, Ken Fulk, Stellene Volandes, Cathy Kincaid, Elizabeth Lawrence, Madeline Stuart, Young Huh, Nathan Turner, and Meg Braff are among the many familiar names appearing throughout the week.
The show opens with its gala on October 14, followed by show days from October 15 through 18 at Fort Mason’s Festival Pavilion. Between the antiques, the lectures, and San Francisco in October, this one feels particularly worthy of the calendar. More information can be found here!
Color, pattern, antiques, fringe, wicker, and a vintage Japanese obi are among the elements that make Peter Dunham’s guest bedroom at this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House so memorable. Exuberant but never overpowering, thoughtfully layered, and wonderfully comfortable, it has all the makings of a room we want to spend time in. Show house rooms can sometimes veer toward the experimental at the expense of livability, yet Peter’s room feels perfectly lived in and entirely representative of his work.

Peter enveloped the fifth-floor space in his new multicolored Jacob’s Stripe, carrying the linen across both the upholstered walls and window treatments. The effect is immediately cheerful, but there is method behind all that pattern. In the north-facing room, Dunham wanted something that would “absorb sound and feel cozy without being cloying” while providing a strong backdrop for art.

From there, things get delightfully eclectic. A vintage iron four-poster bed is paired with an antique English textile headboard, while ceramic lamps by Natan Moss wear custom shades fashioned from a vintage Japanese obi. Across the room, a wall-spanning green velvet sofa trimmed in Samuel & Sons fringe sits beneath flower paintings by Konstantin Kakanias.

It is the mix that makes the room: mid-century furniture, a gutsy Louis XVI armchair, a modern French black marble cocktail table, an early Khotan carpet, wicker, velvet, stripes, antiques, and contemporary art all happily coexist. Nothing feels too precious or overly coordinated. Instead, the room has the looseness and personality of an interior assembled over time.

Perhaps best of all, it actually feels like a guest room you would be thrilled to be given. It is colorful without being chaotic and sophisticated without being solemn. With every piece carrying a story and every layer thought through, the room ultimately feels deeply personal, which may be its greatest charm. Make sure to check out more of Peter Dunham’s work here!
Modern Matter x Schumacher
I have always believed that hardware is the jewelry of a room. A beautiful knob, pull, or curtain finial may be a relatively small detail, but it is precisely the sort of detail that can make a room feel truly considered. Hardware is also the perfect opportunity to introduce something unexpected, funky, and beautiful, yet it is so often forgotten. So I was rather delighted to learn that Schumacher is officially getting into the hardware business.
For its first-ever hardware collection, the American design house has partnered with Modern Matter on an assortment of cabinet and drapery hardware, from knobs and wonderfully substantial pulls to curtain rods and finials. Crafted primarily from solid brass, the pieces come in burnished, polished, and unlacquered brass, along with antique nickel.
The real point of interest, however, is the inspiration behind the collection: William Spratling, the American silversmith and jeweler known for his bold, sculptural work. That influence gives the collection depth and spirit. The forms are strong and architectural, yet restrained enough to feel equally at home in a deeply traditional room or something more contemporary.
It feels like a rather natural evolution for Schumacher. After more than a century spent dressing our walls, windows, and furniture, why shouldn’t they have a say in the knobs too? The Modern Matter x Schumacher collection launches September 30!

Small businesses have a special place in our heart here at The Glam Pad, and today we are delighted to welcome Brooke Kennan, Founder of Kinderbrook Home, for a Q&A and a peek inside the exquisite homes that inspired her boutique.
Kinderbrook Home is a labor of love born from Brooke’s passion for timeless style and quality craftsmanship. After decorating her family’s Duchess County retreat, Kinderbrook Farm, Brooke was inspired to create a line of heirloom-quality porcelain that captures the essence of traditional country living. The name “Kinderbrook” holds special meaning for Brooke. A portmanteau of “children” in German and the small stream flowing through her property, it reflects her upbringing in Millbrook, New York, where she and her husband spent weekends immersed in nature. While Brooke and her family reside in a beautiful Brittany Bromley-decorated New York City apartment during the week, the couple purchased Kinderbrook Farm while expecting their second child so their little ones could have access to the same pastoral lifestyle they enjoyed in childhood.
We simply adore her timeless upstate countryside aesthetic… Welcome, Brooke!
Q: What inspired you to start Kinderbrook Home, and how do you describe your personal aesthetic?
A: I started Kinderbrook Home out of a love for pieces that feel timeless, personal, and collected over time. I’ve always been drawn to the things you find in your mother’s or grandmother’s home and closet, beautiful objects and clothing that never really go out of style. I wanted to create a brand that captured that feeling, with pieces for both the home and wardrobe that you could live with, wear, and eventually pass down.
I would describe my personal aesthetic as traditional with a sense of playfulness. I love old-world details and beautiful craftsmanship, but I also like incorporating elements that keep things feeling fresh and a little unexpected. I’m much more inspired by the past than by trends.
Q: Tell us about your beautiful home, Kinderbrook Farm, and do you have a background in interior design?
A: Kinderbrook Farm is our family home in Dutchess County, New York. We live in New York City during the week and spend many weekends and holidays at the Farm. I love having the balance between the two.
I don’t have a formal background in interior design, but I’ve always loved interiors, antiques, and collecting. Both our apartment in the city and the farm have evolved over time, and I think that’s what makes them feel personal. We love picking up pieces on our travels and letting the layers build organically rather than decorating everything at once. Both homes are very much ongoing projects, and I’m always moving things around, adding something new, or finding a place for the latest treasure we’ve brought home.
Q: What did the process of decorating Kinderbook Farm entail? What was your vision for the project?
A: My vision for Kinderbrook Farm was always to create a place where people genuinely want to spend time. I wanted friends to come for the weekend and immediately feel at home, a house filled with dinner parties and long evenings around the table, and somewhere our whole family could gather for holidays. Most importantly, we wanted to create a home where our children love spending time.
Hosting and entertaining are such a big part of what brings our family joy, so we really kept that in mind throughout the decorating process. I wanted the house to feel beautiful and layered, but never too precious. Our New York City apartment is more formal, while the farm has a more relaxed sensibility.
Q: How does your passion for beautiful interiors influence the products you select for Kinderbrook Farm?
A: I think my love of interiors influences everything we create for Kinderbrook. Many of our products are inspired by things I wanted for my own home but couldn’t quite find, whether it’s a beautiful basket for the garden or market, a special piece for the table, or something you can wear from breakfast through dinner. I want everything we create to be both beautiful and useful, pieces that become part of your everyday life and only get better with time.
Q: Who are some of your favorite interior designers (past and/or present) and what books do you currently have on your coffee table?
A: I’m constantly inspired by both contemporary designers and the greats. Brittany Bromley, who I worked with on our New York City apartment, is a favorite. She has an incredible ability to create rooms that are polished but still feel warm. She helped us when we first moved into the apartment and has continued to come back over the years as our family has grown, our needs have changed, and my own style has evolved. I especially love the way she mixes color, pattern, antiques, and more formal elements without anything ever feeling overly decorated. The apartment feels very New York to me, formal, but still comfortable enough for our everyday life with three boys.
Henry & Co. has also helped with several rooms at the farm and has an incredible talent for creating layers and making a room feel collected over time.
I also love following the work of dear friends: Scott Francis, Alexander Wilson, Annabelle Moehlmann, Darren Henault, Kate Ives Design, Ariel Okin, and Macaulay Sullivan. There’s something really special about knowing someone personally and then seeing their personality and point of view come through in the spaces they create.
From afar, I’ve long admired Tom Scheerer, Casa Gusto, Robert Kime, and so many others. I’m always drawn to designers who create rooms that feel personal and collected rather than overly decorated.
Q: What are some of your favorite tips for entertaining, and do you have a favorite hostess gift recommendation?
A: My biggest entertaining rule is that the host sets the tone. No matter what might be happening behind closed doors, or what inevitably goes wrong at the last minute, stay calm and enjoy yourself. If you’re relaxed and having fun, your guests will be too.
And never overlook the lighting…candles, candles, and more candles! The right lighting can completely transform a room and instantly set the mood.
For a hostess gift, I love bringing something thoughtful that doesn’t create extra work for the host. Of course, a Kinderbrook basket filled with flowers, or a few favorite things is always a fun and personal gift.
Q: Do you have a favorite recipe you could share with us?
A: I have to admit, I don’t cook! We joke that I’m front of house and my husband is back of house, and it’s a division of labor that works very well for us. I love setting the atmosphere and making sure everything looks beautiful… and perhaps most importantly, making sure everyone has a drink in hand, and feels at home.
Q: What are your goals for Kinderbrook Home over the next five years?
A: I launched Kinderbrook less than two years ago, initially as a home company, and it has already evolved so naturally into a lifestyle brand, which has been incredibly exciting. Over the next five years, I hope to continue growing both the home and wardrobe collections thoughtfully, while staying true to the timeless, collected feeling that inspired Kinderbrook from the beginning.
One of my favorite and most unexpected parts of building the brand has been the community around it. I love meeting customers at trunk shows and events and hearing how they make the pieces their own… how they wear their caftans, where they take their baskets, or how they use their bone inlay boxes in their homes. Seeing Kinderbrook become part of people’s lives is incredibly rewarding and has also helped shape how I think about what we create next.
I’m excited to explore new categories, collaborate with brands and artisans I admire, and continue bringing the Kinderbrook world to life in new ways. As we grow, I want to maintain that personal connection and make sure everything we create feels special, useful, and like something you’ll want to live with for years.
A: Free time might be a generous term with three young boys! Growing up I used to love riding horses, but now most of my time is spent with my family, which is actually part of why I started Kinderbrook as a passion project. It gave me an outlet to exercise my creative side and have something that was entirely my own, while still keeping family at the center of my life.
I also really value the time I spend supporting organizations that are meaningful to me, particularly the Alzheimer’s Association, Memorial Sloan Kettering, and the Dutchess Land Conservancy.
When I do find some free time, I love having friends over, long lunches and dinners, working on the house, traveling, antiquing, and discovering new places. I’m constantly collecting ideas and inspiration along the way, so even my ‘free time’ has a way of finding its way back into Kinderbrook.

Q: Anything else you would like to add?
A: I feel incredibly lucky to be building Kinderbrook and to have met so many wonderful people along the way. One of the greatest joys has been seeing the pieces take on lives of their own in other people’s homes and wardrobes. I’m excited to keep creating, and let the brand continue to evolve organically. It still feels like we’re just getting started, which is perhaps the most exciting part.
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 DECORATION by Bunny Williams and Elizabeth Lawrence; Decoration, in Conversation at NYSID; and Ward + Gray’s Vintage-Inspired Wicker Collection, Written by Natalie Aldridge.
DECORATION by Bunny Williams and Elizabeth Lawrence
There are few people we would rather take a lesson in decorating from than Bunny Williams. Now, Williams and her longtime collaborator and business partner Elizabeth Lawrence have distilled decades of experience into Decoration, a stunning new book from Rizzoli and, fittingly, something of a master class in the art of interiors.
Rather than simply presenting beautiful interiors and boilerplate tips and rules, Decoration gets into the thinking behind them: why scale matters, how old and new can happily coexist, when pattern needs another pattern, and why the slightly battered or imperfect piece is often the thing that makes a room sing. Drawing on projects from Williams Lawrence, the book explores the principles that underpin rooms that feel layered, comfortable, personal, and, most importantly, as though they have evolved over time.
Perhaps most appealing is the duo’s argument for looking beyond surface beauty to recognize proportion, patina, authenticity, and potential. In an era of instant gratification and rooms assembled with a few clicks, we particularly adore their philosophy for patience, discovery, and allowing a house to develop a personality of its own. Good decorating takes time, and perhaps a little wandering.
Cover, Decoration by Williams and Lawrence, Rizzoli
At more than 400 pages, the cloth-bound volume is itself a beauty, mixing coated and uncoated papers with gatefolds that allow wonderful rooms to unfold across the page. Many design books come across our desk and they are not created equal. This one is a must! Decoration is out now and can be purchased here.
Decoration, in Conversation at NYSID
And for those who would prefer to hear the lessons directly from the decorators themselves, you’re in luck. On September 16th, Bunny Williams and her Williams Lawrence partner, Elizabeth Lawrence, will sit down for a conversation celebrating Decoration, hosted by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and the New York School of Interior Design.
The evening promises to be much more than a book talk. Williams and Lawrence will delve into the philosophy behind rooms that feel collected rather than decorated, touching on everything from proportion and authenticity to flea markets, travel, color, fantasy, and the increasingly radical idea of acquiring things slowly.
There is something particularly potent about hearing someone speak about their craft in person, especially when that someone has spent decades honing it. We are always fascinated by the stories, observations, and little bits of wisdom that emerge in conversation and never quite make it onto the printed page. This promises to be one of those evenings.
The conversation, moderated by Anne Hardy, begins at 6:30 p.m. following a 6:00 p.m. reception at NYSID. Learn more and register through the ICAA here!
Ward + Gray’s Wicker Collection
There is little I love more than vintage wicker, inside and out. And when a brand does new wicker well, it really captures my attention. Ward + Gray has developed a small collection of just the kind of wicker pieces I am always looking for. The New York design duo has launched a new collection of handwoven wicker furniture through Boheme, their online shop devoted to wonderfully characterful pieces.
The eight-piece collection takes traditional woven forms and turns up the personality with hand-painted color, graphic patterns, dyed leather, and wonderfully unexpected details. There is the jaunty striped Theo side table, the Pierre Frey–upholstered Bodie pouf, the geometric Dunmore nightstand, and, perhaps our favorite, the Cisco backgammon table, complete with an inset game board and coordinating wooden chips. Several of the pieces could also move easily between indoors and out, exactly as good wicker should.
Ward + Gray’s work has always had a certain well-traveled quality, and Boheme grew naturally from the designers’ relationships with artisans and family-run workshops encountered through years of sourcing and travel. Each piece is handcrafted with an emphasis on material, imperfection, and the hand of its maker. Shop the full collection here!

There are houses that are beautiful, and then there are houses that seem to have lived a life of their own. Almost like living things, they bear the marks of those who came before. Each floorboard and plastered wall holds the memories of those who once occupied its rooms. And, if they are particularly lucky, they eventually find someone willing to listen to what they have to say.
For the 1874 Guest House in Galveston, Texas, those people were mother-and-daughter design duo Mary-Louise Stonecipher and Jordan Vaughn of Alayna Louise Interiors. We first came across the property when it opened a couple years ago. Not only did the restoration catch our attention, but so did the beautiful way in which the 1874 Guest House had been brought back to life. Now, as the historic home enters a new era following its sale, we are sharing its story.
Mary-Louise Stonecipher and Jordan Vaughn
Built in 1874 for Robert and Ellen Hughes, the stately home has occupied its corner in Galveston’s historic East End for more than 150 years. It survived the devastating Great Storm of 1900, witnessed two world wars, weathered a stint as a fraternity house and was eventually divided into apartments. By the time Mary-Louise discovered it in 2016, however, its survival was beginning to look considerably less certain.
Mary-Louise knew when she discovered the house that it would not be around much longer unless someone stepped in. She called her daughter and announced that they had found their next project. Upon seeing the dilapidated house, Jordan was somewhat less convinced, joking that she wasn’t doing Grey Gardens with her mother. Fortunately for the rest of us, she changed her mind.
What followed was an eight-year labor of love. The house was raised to protect it from future flooding, poor alterations were undone and architectural details painstakingly restored. Jordan and Mary-Louise then filled the rooms with antiques found on trips through Paris and the South of France, old portraits, beautiful furnishings, patterned wallpapers and rich textiles galore, with the house becoming something of a laboratory for their craft.
While little remains of the home’s original furnishings, what does remain helps tell its remarkable story. An original gilded mirror in the ladies’ parlor still bears the flood lines of both the Great Storm of 1900 and Hurricane Ike. Elsewhere, a ceiling imported from a castle in Genoa crowns the deep blue men’s parlor, while canopied beds, chintzes and layers of antique furniture give the bedrooms the feeling of having evolved over time rather than being newly decorated.
The mother-and-daughter duo poured their hearts and souls into each room, and after eight years of work, the 1874 Guest House opened its doors in 2024. What had once seemed perilously close to being lost was again filled with people and life. And then, after nearly a decade devoted to it, Jordan and Mary-Louise made the difficult decision to let it go. During those years, their own lives had evolved alongside the house. Jordan began a family, Mary-Louise became a grandmother, and new creative pursuits beckoned. Eventually, they realized it was time to “make room for what was next.”
There is something particularly poignant in Jordan’s belief that historic houses are only temporarily ours. Preservation is, after all, an act of stewardship. The goal is not necessarily to possess something forever, but to ensure that it survives to be loved by someone else and by generations to come. Homes like this are part of the fabric of our culture and heritage, after all.
While the sale of the 1874 marks the end of one chapter, it also marks the beginning of another. “There is something wonderful about knowing that a house with so much history will continue accumulating stories beyond our own,” Jordan notes. “We were fortunate to have our chapter with it,” she says, “to restore it, fill it with art and antiques, welcome people into it and, hopefully, leave it better and more loved than we found it.”
The 1874 has already lived many lives, and thanks to two women who saw what it might be again, it is ready for the next one. A beautiful lesson in stewardship, care and the enduring life of an old house.
Let’s take a closer look at The 1874 House.

Thank you, Mary-Louise and Jordan, for your generosity in not only bringing this incredible home back to life, but for sharing its story with us. For more inspiration, follow @the1874guesthouse on Instagram and make sure to check out Alayna-Louise Interiors.

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 Kips Bay, Reed Smythe & Co. x Tanti-Baci Ceramics, and A to Z Interiors by Simon Upton. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
A First Look at Kips Bay
With the Kips Bay Decorator Show House set to open its doors on September 16, the first renderings have officially arrived, giving us a glimpse of what this year’s designers have in store. As one of the most anticipated events on New York’s fall design calendar, Kips Bay is always an opportunity for designers to let their imaginations run a little wild, and this year’s rooms certainly promise no shortage of personalities.
Chad Dorsey DesignEZG DesignJohn Ferguson Interiors
As longtime readers will know, our tastes at The Glam Pad tend to favor rooms with a healthy dose of history, pattern, color, craftsmanship, and, naturally, a little glamour. We like rooms that feel collected with a sense of story and always rooted in classicism. This year’s renderings cover quite the spectrum, but after a thorough perusal, a select few immediately caught our eye and left us particularly eager to see how they come to life.
Of course, a show house is meant to be experienced in person. A room that appears one way on paper can take on an entirely different character once all the finishing touches that make a space sing are in place. Until then, we’ve rounded up the rooms that feel most at home in The Glam Pad world and that we are looking forward to seeing how they come to life in person.
Reed Smythe & Co. x Tanti-Baci Ceramics
We are always susceptible to a beautiful objet, and this collaboration from Reed Smythe & Co. has us particularly smitten. The beloved Southern shop has partnered with the artisans of Tanti-Baci Ceramics, a small atelier in the Languedoc region of France near Nîmes, to create a collection of terre mêlée (aptware) pieces that are, quite simply, stunning.
Meaning “mixed earth,” terre mêlée is an 18th-century French ceramic technique most closely associated with the town of Apt in the Luberon, hence its other name, Aptware. Different colors of oxidized clay are combined before firing, creating organic swirls and marbled patterns, making no two pieces ever quite alike. Each is hand-sculpted, sanded, double-fired, and finished with a transparent glaze.
It is rare that a new decorative object truly stops us in our tracks, but these beauties did just that. Rooted in centuries of craftsmanship, they are exactly the sort of objects that make a room feel collected and interesting. And at such an approachable price point for something so singular and beautifully made, we think they are well worth the indulgence. These pieces are modern heirlooms. The only trouble will be choosing just one. The full Reed Smyth x Tanti-Baci Ceramics collection can be shopped here!
A to Z Interiors by Simon Upton
If one were tasked with assembling a roll call of designers we never tire of seeing, the pages of Simon Upton’s forthcoming A to Z Interiors would make a rather excellent start. Alidad, Veere Grenney, Beata Heuman, Remy Renzullo, Gil Schafer, Ben Pentreath, Robert Kime, and Carolina Irving are just a few of the familiar names filling this beautiful new book, out September 15th by Rizzoli.

For more than three decades, Simon Upton has photographed some of the world’s most memorable interiors, and his particular magic lies in making even the grandest rooms feel intimate and lived in. Organized alphabetically, A to Z Interiors captures one wonderfully distinctive interior to the next, showcasing not a single definition of good taste, but the many ways a beautiful room can come together.

These are interiors with atmosphere, history, and personality, the sort that reward a second and third look rather than revealing everything at once. With contributions from many of the designers whose work appears within, the book also promises something more than a parade of beautiful photographs.
At a time when so much design can begin to look so alike, A to Z Interiors feels like a welcome celebration of individuality. Needless to say, we’ll be making room on the bookshelf. A to Z Interiors can be ordered here!

Lee W. Robinson, founder of the Lee W. Robinson Company, is a long-time favorite at The Glam Pad. Based in Louisville, Kentucky with offices in New York City and Palm Beach, Florida, Lee’s signature style exemplifies Southern tradition and English pedigree.
Today Lee is giving us a sneak peek inside his family home, Malvern House, originally designed by famed architect Ogden Codman Jr. In 1897 Codman and Edith Wharton co-wrote The Decoration of Houses which is known to this day as one of the most important decorating books ever written. All of these principles were incorporated into the design of Malvern. Below, please enjoy a video and photo tour of Malvern House, a true American treasure. Welcome, Lee!
The roots of Malvern House date back to the 1890s when George Gaulbert, the great-great-grandfather of Lee’s wife Babs Rodes Robinson, purchased the land. It totaled three square miles at the time. Gaulbert was the founder of the Peaslee-Gaulbert Corporation, inventor of ready-mix paint and one of the largest paint, chemical, and wholesale hardware manufacturers in the country (which has now morphed into Celanese). However it was Mr. and Mrs. Gaulbert’s only child, Carrie Gaulbert Cox, and her husband Attilla Cox, Jr. who were responsible for building Malvern House. Cox’s father, Attilla Sr., was the founder of Columbia Fidelity Bank (now PNC). He was business partners in banking and railroads with J.P. Morgan and August Belmont of New York. It was these ties to New York and Newport that encouraged them to hireCodman to design the house and Frederick Law Olmsted, the father of American landscape architecture and co-designer of Central Park, to design the landscaping.
There is a fateful story involving the Cox family. In 1911, Carrie and Attilla Cox travelled to Europe by ship with their daughter Harriet Cox. There she contracted scarlet fever and was so severely ill the family had to cancel their return trip back to the United States. That return trip was scheduled for April 1912 on the Titanic. The entire family lineage could have ended had Harriet not been too sick to travel.
Codman completed his design of the house in 1914, but it was not finished until 1922. Harriett and her husband, John Collis, raised their daughters at Malvern including Babs’s mother, Barbara Collis. In the 1960s Harriett reduced the size of the home significantly, removing 8,000 square feet, including the entire third floor which had a party room that mimicked the family’s Canadian hunting lodge. She lived at Malvern House until her death in 1992. The home was then sold outside the family to the former Kentucky governor’s wife.
In 2007 Babs and Lee purchased the home, which had become vacant and neglected. Lee spent two years bringing the estate back to life, incorporating furniture and treasures that had been in the family for generations. Using original Olmsted blueprints, in 2011 they began to restore Malvern’s 15 acres of grounds and gardens. Once the overgrowth was cut back, long-buried brick walkways were unearthed and the skeleton of the Olmsted plan emerged and was brought back to life, including a 1614 well-head.
A dramatic marble staircase spanning 45 feet in length greets guests to Malvern House. The original limestone block walls were inspired by the grand country homes of England.
Lee transformed a screened-in porch into the music room which was inspired by the party pavilions of the 1920s. Hand painted Chinoiserie wallpaper from Stark, a sparkling crystal chandelier, and classic black and white marble floors create an ambiance of elegance and glamour.
The drawing room displays priceless art by Pablo Picasso, Mary Cassatt, Anthony van Dyck, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Rubens and more. Original built-in bookcases and paneling are used to showcase heirloom family porcelain.
Codman designed two separate powder rooms on the first floor – one for for ladies and one for gentlemen. The ladies’ powder room includes a sit-down vanity, mirrored panels, chandelier, Chinoiserie silver leaf wallpaper, and onyx floors.
The gentlemen’s bathroom features malachite wallpaper and black marble floors.
Much of the furniture used in the dining room has been in the family for generations. Lee upholstered the paneled walls with silk Shantung fabric and added damask curtains and a chandelier. Instead of traditional sideboards, he brilliantly incorporated two antique dining tables that can be used to accommodate extra guests. The room features an original Robert Adam mantel and seats 36.
The original kitchen was a small, utilitarian room only used by servants. Lee turned it into a butler’s pantry and utility room. He then added a modern kitchen, complete with two center islands and a breakfast nook, where the former butler’s pantry, silver vault, and porcelain room were located.
The morning room comes from an old English estate that was dissembled and moved piece by piece into Malvern House. Today it not only showcases art and collectibles that have been in the family for generations, but it also serves as the television room (which is hidden in an antique armoire).
Malvern’s windows incorporate stained glass from the 1500s.
Malvern House is a historically important American treasure, and Lee and Babs are dedicated to the continued preservation of their family’s legacy and ancestral home. Thank you, Lee, for the delightful tour!

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 An Afternoon on Beauty with Charlotte Moss, NYDC’s What’s New What’s Next, and Tania Bulhões’ Latest Tableware Collection. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
An Afternoon on Beauty
Two of our favorite arbiters of taste and living beautifully, interior designer Charlotte Moss and FLOWER magazine founder Margot Shaw, are coming together in Richmond this October for An Afternoon on Beauty, a celebration of interiors, gardens, flowers, and the art of living well.

The October 9th festivities begin at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture, where Charlotte and Margot will sit down for a conversation celebrating their latest books: Charlotte’s forthcoming Charlotte Moss: At Home in Virginia and Margot’s Flowering Outdoors: Gardens & Parties, which came out earlier this year. Then, the evening moves to the magnificent Branch Museum for cocktails and an exclusive benefit dinner with the two design doyennes as guests of honor.

For Charlotte, a Richmond native, the occasion is something of a homecoming, and an especially fitting one as her new book offers a deeply personal look inside her own Virginia house and garden. Margot, meanwhile, has spent nearly two decades at the helm of FLOWER, championing the very things we hold dear: gracious rooms, glorious gardens, beautiful tables, and, of course, flowers.
Two fabulous new books, two women who know a thing or two about living beautifully, and an autumn afternoon in Virginia devoted entirely to beauty? We can hardly think of a better way to spend a Thursday. And consider this just a little taste of what’s to come. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into Charlotte’s new book and the wonderfully layered world behind its pages, with plenty more Charlotte Moss to come. Tickets for An Afternoon on Beauty are available here!
What’s New What’s Next
No matter how many years we’ve been out of school, September somehow always feels like back-to-school season. The city fills up again, calendars suddenly start to fill up, and the design world returns from its summer travels ready for a little fun.
Kicking things off is the return of What’s New, What’s Next at the New York Design Center on September 17th. Now in its seventeenth year, the annual design fête will take over 200 Lex with a full day of talks, new collections, book signings, cocktails, and the gathering of the design world. This year is particularly special as the New York Design Center celebrates its 100th anniversary.
The lineup includes Wendy Goodman and Isaac Mizrahi on what makes New York the design capital of the world, Ken Fulk and Stellene Volandes discussing the “well-dressed life,” Annabelle Selldorf unveiling her new collection for Munder Skiles, and plenty more familiar faces throughout the building. So sharpen your pencils and get ready to head back to 200 Lex. School is officially back in session. Information on What’s New What’s Next can be found here!
Tania Bulhões Latest Tableware Collection
While September may be just around the corner, we are not quite ready to surrender summer just yet. The days are still warm, the evenings are still long, and there is plenty of outdoor entertaining to be had before it cools down too much.
Luckily, Tania Bulhões is giving us every reason to keep setting the table outside. The Brazilian tastemaker’s new Botânica Collection celebrates the extraordinary flora of her native country, with stunning bromeliads and proteas coming to life across Limoges porcelain in brilliant shades of pink, coral, green, and yellow, all finished with touches of gold.
The collection extends beyond porcelain to glassware, linens, natural fibers, and hand-blown vases, creating a table that feels wonderfully lush without being overtly summery. Those rich botanical tones seem particularly perfect for these in-between weeks, when late-summer dinners begin stretching into crisp September evenings.

Based in Loudoun County, Virginia, Lauren Wodicka, founder and principal designer of LBW Studio, has built her practice around thoughtfully restoring and reimagining historic homes, layering antiques, beautiful textiles, and custom details. Her perspective on preservation, sourcing, and designing homes that evolve allows Lauren to create timeless spaces for her clients that are designed to be both lived in and loved for generations. Lauren’s work is deeply rooted in her love for art history and the stories behind every interior. Early in her career, Lauren sold art, painted, and exhibited artworks in a gallery she opened in Old Town Alexandria.
Today, Lauren specializes in thoughtfully curated and welcoming interiors that evoke her clients’ personalities and lifestyles, allowing them to tell their unique story and seamlessly blend elegance with family-friendly functionality. She enjoys working with clients not just through the end of a design project, but on lifelong decorating projects where they depend on her to be a teacher, sharing ideas on what to collect for their home and personal interests.
Lauren Wodicka
We are delighted to welcome Lauren to The Glam Pad for a look at her exquisite portfolio and Q&A. Welcome, Lauren!
Q: How do you describe your style, and how did it develop?
A: Timeless, layered, and collected. I am drawn to interiors that feel collected over time; rooms where antiques, art, rich color, and beautiful textiles coexist with pieces that feel fresh and relevant. I love the tension between something a little weathered or timeworn and something beautifully tailored: chipped paint beside gilding, an old object given new context, or an antique chair revived with unexpected upholstery. I also love fashion, so I think about it much the same way I think about interiors. A great piece of jewelry that you wear every day is the equivalent of a gorgeous foyer chest, something special that sets the tone. Fabulous shoes or a great blazer are like drapery: they can completely elevate and pull an entire look together.
Q: How did your time studying in Florence influence you?
A: Living in Florence deepened my appreciation for architecture, craftsmanship, and the way history can remain relevant to contemporary life. It taught me to notice proportion, detail, and a strong sense of place, which continue to shape how I approach design today.
Q: Please tell us about your passion for art history and your work as an artist.
A: Art and art history were my earliest creative foundations and trained my eye. Although my work today focuses on interiors, that background continues to inform how I see color, composition, and the relationship between objects in a room.
Q: When did you decide to pursue a career in interior design?
A: It evolved naturally from a broader interest in art, architecture, and the way people live. I was drawn to the opportunity to create complete environments that are both beautiful and deeply personal.
Q: What do you find most rewarding in your focus on historic preservation?
A: Giving historic places a future. I love preserving the features that make an old house distinctive while adapting it thoughtfully to how a family lives today.
Q: What are your tips for designing a home that will withstand the test of time?
A: Respect the architecture, invest in quality, and choose what genuinely speaks to you rather than following every trend. A lasting home should feel personal, comfortable, and able to evolve.
Q: Do you have favorite go-to colors, patterns, furnishings, etc.—or a “signature style”—that you routinely incorporate within your projects?
A: I don’t believe in imposing the same look on every project; each project should have its own identity. I am consistently drawn to color, pattern, antiques, art, and furnishings that give a home depth, but each interior should ultimately reflect its architecture and the people who live there.
Q: Are there any “old-fashioned” or forgotten design staples you would like to see make a comeback?
A: I would love to see a return to rooms that feel collected rather than completed all at once, where antiques are used comfortably rather than reverently. Proper window treatments, thoughtful decorative details, and pieces made by skilled craftspeople bring individuality and lasting character to a home.
Q: When you aren’t busy designing, what do you enjoy doing with your time?
A: I am always busy! When I can, I try to fit in a three-mile walk. I love spending time with my children and then anything creative…cooking, gardening, traveling, antiquing, and, of course, painting. A favorite Saturday might include lunch with my daughter while the boys are shooting hoops.
Q: Anything else you would like to add?
A: The most memorable homes have a clear point of view while still feeling entirely natural to the people who live in them.
Thank you, Lauren, for joining us today!

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 Nina Campbell’s Latest Collection, The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon, and Remembering Mathilde Favier. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
Nina Campbell’s Latest Collection
Few names are more synonymous with quintessential English decorating than the legendary Nina Campbell. For more than five decades, her colorful and wonderfully comfortable interiors have embodied that distinctly English tradition of rooms that feel layered, collected, and somehow relaxed.
This September, Nina Campbell will launch a new collection of fabrics and wallpapers for Osborne & Little, beautifully titled Dauphine. Filled with charming florals, rich color, and beautifully considered patterns, the collection draws on the unmistakable decorative vocabulary that has made Nina one of the most beloved names in interior design.
Classic, joyful, and just a little bit unexpected, the collection is filled with the sorts of patterns that will become mainstays. The Interior Designer’s Collection will be available through Osborne & Little beginning September 2nd.
The full collection will be available to view here!
The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon
At The Glam Pad, we celebrate craftsmanship, legacy, and the classics. Those rare things, whether a beautiful fabric, a timeless dress, or a perfectly crafted piece of furniture, that somehow manage to transcend generations without ever losing their relevance are what we cherish most. This fall, two great British institutions come together to celebrate just that, as the Victoria and Albert Museum and Burberry open The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon, marking the legendary British fashion house’s 170th anniversary.

Opening September 21st in the V&A’s rarely seen Prince Consort Gallery, the exhibition traces the history of the trench from Thomas Burberry’s invention of cotton gabardine in 1879 and its practical beginnings in military and protective outerwear to its place today as one of fashion’s most enduring icons. Along the way, the exhibition showcases the craftsmanship behind the classic, from its hand-finished collar and iconic check lining. Rare pieces from the Burberry Archive and V&A collection will be featured with 19 runway looks illustrating how generations of designers have continued to reinterpret the coat.

Perhaps what we love most about this exhibition is the reminder that a true classic does not need reinventing so much as it needs preserving, appreciating, and an occasional look with fresh eyes. Beautiful materials, thoughtful details, and superb craftsmanship never really go out of style, whether we are talking about a perfectly tailored trench coat or a beautifully decorated room.
The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon will be on view at the V&A South Kensington from September 21, 2026 through January 3, 2027. V&A exhibition tickets can sell out fas! Make sure to plan your visit here!
Remembering Mathilde Favier
We were deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Mathilde Favier, the beloved longtime Director of Public Relations at Dior and one of Paris’s most wonderfully stylish and iconic figures. For more than a decade at the legendary fashion house, Mathilde was a familiar and much-loved presence within the fashion industry, known as much for her warmth, wit, smile, and infectious joie de vivre as for her extraordinary sense of style.
Beyond the world of fashion, Mathilde had a true gift for living beautifully. Her wonderfully layered Paris apartment, love of flowers, entertaining, collecting, and the people and places that made her city special were captured in her 2024 book, Living Beautifully in Paris. She represented a kind of effortless Parisian elegance that cannot really be taught, one that was deeply personal, a little eccentric, and always full of life. She seemed to move through the world with a smile on her face and a genuine joy for life and those around her.
Mathilde passed away on August 17 alongside her partner, French film producer Nicolas Altmayer, in a tragic accident. Our hearts go out to her children, family, friends, and the many people whose lives she touched. The worlds of fashion and design have lost a truly singular and joyful presence.

Designer and lifelong lover of beautiful things, Paloma Contreras has built a wonderfully stylish world of her own that we have long admired. As an interior designer myself, there are a handful of designers I admire not only for their work, but also for their undeniable work ethic and multifaceted approach to their careers. Paloma is certainly one of them.

Known for interiors that are feminine, polished, and deeply livable, the Houston-based designer has a knack for balancing timeless elegance with just the right amount of glamour. While her path to design was not conventional, her natural eye and clear passion for interiors have brought her from high school Spanish teacher to her beloved blog, La Dolce Vita, to Visual Comfort, and ultimately to becoming one of today’s most admired designers.
Today, Paloma’s creative pursuits span her eponymous design firm, two books, collections for Visual Comfort and Schumacher, her Houston shop, Paloma & Co., and, most recently, The Install: Life & Design podcast with fellow designer and friend Caroline Gidiere. In all honesty, there is nothing Paloma can’t do.

We are delighted to welcome the ELLE Decor “A-Lister” to The Glam Pad today for a Style Profile Q&A to talk treasured antiques, creative life, what’s inspiring her now, and of course, a look at her beautiful work.
Welcome, Paloma!
Q: Please tell us about your design firm, how you got started, and what types of projects you work on?
A: I started my interior design firm, Paloma Contreras Design, in 2013. I majored in Spanish and Italian Studies, so for the first four years post-graduation, I worked as a high school Spanish teacher. While I enjoyed the subject matter, teaching never felt like quite the right fit. I started a design blog called La Dolce Vita in 2007, and that really started to change the direction of my career. I left teaching in 2008 and started freelancing, or doing what we would now call being an influencer.

Eventually, I was offered the role of Director of Marketing for the lighting manufacturer Visual Comfort, where I oversaw a variety of initiatives, including the launch of the Aerin Lauder collection. Over time, I got the itch to do my own thing and left in 2013 to start my design firm. That relationship has come full circle, as I have designed a lighting collection for Visual Comfort since 2022.
I’ve written two books, Dream Design Live and The New Classic Home. I also design a textile collection for Schumacher and will be launching a new rug collection later this year. In addition to my design firm, I also own a curated home store called Paloma & Co. We have a robust e-commerce presence as well as a brick-and-mortar store on River Oaks Boulevard. When we aren’t working on design projects in Houston and throughout the U.S., you can catch me recording my podcast, The Install, with my co-host Caroline Gidiere, writing our Substack, The Install Edit, or hanging out with my husband and our young daughter.

Q: How would you describe your personal style in three words?
A: Timeless, Collected, Gracious
Photography by Aimée MazzengaPhotography by Aimée Mazzenga
Q: What is the most treasured object in your home, and what is the story behind it?
A: This is so hard to answer because I truly believe that an object does not truly belong in your home unless you love it. I have a 19th-century French chest with beautiful marquetry on the drawer fronts that I purchased at my first antiques fair in France. It was one of the first major antiques I purchased for our home and reminds me of my first sourcing trip abroad, so it will always have special meaning to me.
Photography by Aimée MazzengaPhotography by Aimée Mazzenga
Q: When did you first fall in love with beautiful homes and know you wanted to pursue design as a career?
A: I have always been drawn to beauty and beautiful homes. As a young child, I remember visiting my grandparents in Mexico and fawning over the Spanish Colonial architecture there. I’ve always loved beautiful gardens and fashion as well. However, I didn’t start to pursue it as a career until maybe 15 years ago, well into adulthood. At that point, I had been writing my former blog, La Dolce Vita, for several years and had begun dipping my toe into interior design.

Q: What is a luxury you believe is always worth the investment?
A: Business Class airfare on long international flights
Photography by Aimée MazzengaPhotography by Aimée Mazzenga
Q: What are three things currently inspiring you?
A: My five-year-old daughter, Margot, is my muse. I just adore seeing the world through her eyes. I was on a Chinoiserie tour of England back in May, and since then, I have become completely obsessed with English country houses and gardens. We recently started a Substack for our podcast called The Install Edit, and I am obsessed with it. At my core, I think I am a writer and an editor, not just a designer, so it feels like a homecoming to me since I wrote a blog from 2007–2022 and have written two books. I am loving this creative outlet.
Photography by Aimée MazzengaPhotography by Aimée Mazzenga
Q: Which city consistently inspires you?
A: Paris—As cliché as it sounds, it is impossible for me to return without feeling completely energized and inspired by Paris. It is truly the most beautiful city, and I’ve visited enough times now that it feels familiar. I have my favorite places to stay, shop, and eat and rarely deviate from that.
Photography by Aimée MazzengaPhotography by Aimée Mazzenga
Q: What are you working on next that we can look forward to?
A: I have a new collection of beautiful, handmade rugs debuting with L&M Carpets at High Point Market in October. We’ve been working on the collection for a while, and I am very excited because I think it offers a lot of design ideas that we haven’t seen applied to rugs yet.
Photography by Aimée Mazzenga
Q: Your new podcast, The Install: Life & Design, gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at creativity, business, and the realities of the design world. What conversations are you most excited to have?
A: Caroline and I want these conversations to feel very organic. Each week, we share candid conversations about the work we do, the lives we’re building, and the ideas inspiring us along the way. From running a creative business and navigating growth to travel, culture, personal style, and the lessons learned behind the scenes, the podcast gives listeners an honest look at what it really means to live a creative life.
Photography by Aimée MazzengaPhotography by Aimée Mazzenga
Some episodes are just the two of us, reflecting and sharing what’s top of mind; others feature thoughtful conversations with designers and creative voices we admire. The Install is an inviting space for designers, creatives, and anyone who loves beautiful ideas, meaningful work, and intentional living.
Photography by Aimée MazzengaPhotography by Aimée Mazzenga
Q: What’s been the most surprising part of starting a podcast?
A: I think we both anticipated that it would add some work to our plates and that there would be a learning curve. We are also genuinely good friends in real life, so I knew that it would be fun to do this with my friend, but I have been pleasantly surprised by how much I look forward to it each week. It is so fun to get to see your friend, gab for an hour, and have people respond so nicely to those conversations.
