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 “At Home in Nature: American Country Interiors,” John Derian x Doing Goods, and Max Sinsteden’s D. Porthault windows. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

At Home in Nature: American Country Interiors

At The Glam Pad, we are hardly known for shying away from color, pattern, and a healthy dose of maximalism. But there is something equally beautiful about an interior that calms the senses, and At Home in Nature: American Country Interiors has us craving just that. The new FREDERIC book, written by Hudson Moore and published by Monacelli, arrives September 16 with an inside look at 22 wonderfully nature forward American country houses.

These are interiors shaped as much by the landscape beyond their windows as by what fills the rooms. They are comfortable without being casual, collected without looking overly considered, and refreshingly unprecious. Furniture is meant to be sat upon, shelves are full, and rooms feel as though they have evolved naturally over time rather than been decorated all at once.

Among our favorites is interior designer Carolyn Malone’s rural Georgia retreat, where rustic wood-paneled walls seem to breathe history and open kitchen shelves are charmingly full rather than painstakingly styled. In West Texas, Jeffrey Bilhuber mixes fine-boned antiques with contemporary pieces so effortlessly that you hardly notice where one period ends and another begins.

At Home in Nature is a lovely reminder that a room need not shout to have something to say. There is beauty in restraint, in natural materials, in things softened by age and use. We may never give up our chintz and glorious rooms awash in color, but we would very happily retreat to one of these. Be certain to pre-order your copy here!

John Derian x Doing Goods

Leave it to the ever-talented John Derian to merge the worlds of botanicals and rugs. The designer and decoupage maestro has teamed up with Amsterdam-based Doing Goods on a delightfully whimsical collection of leaf-shaped rugs, and naturally, we want the whole garden.

The five designs take their cues from botanical imagery found in Derian’s extraordinary archive of antique and vintage prints. Blown up and translated into wonderfully irregular rugs, the leaves retain all the charm of their original illustrations, complete with delicate veining, curling edges, and the sort of lovely imperfections that make old botanical studies so irresistible.

It is the exaggerated scale that makes them especially fun. Enlarged to such proportions, the leaves become wonderfully graphic and almost morph into something else entirely. They are just the right amount of quirky and are charming enough to bring a little personality to any space. We particularly love the idea of one appearing somewhere entirely unexpected, like a great big leaf that has simply floated in through an open window.

The John Derian x Doing Goods collection is available here now.

Max Sinsteden For D. Porthault

If you haven’t yet stopped by D. Porthault on Park Avenue to see Max Sinsteden’s fabulous summer windows, consider this your reminder. For the French linen house’s inaugural Designer Summer Series, Max transformed five windows and interior displays at its New York boutique into wonderfully layered little rooms.

Our favorite may be the charming jewel-box bathroom on 58th Street, complete with beadboard walls, a tiled floor, pedestal sink, artwork, proper sconces, and, naturally, plenty of Porthault. Trèfles and Fougères appear in fresh shades of green, while even the lampshades get the Porthault treatment.

It is the sort of window display that rewards a closer look, filled with the thoughtful details that make Max’s work so charming. The windows will remain through September, leaving plenty of time for a proper look. So next time you’re dashing across town, give yourself a few extra minutes on 58th Street. Window shopping has rarely looked this good. But then again, we wouldn’t expect anything less from a D. Porthault collaboration with Max Sinsteaden.

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 Zoffany x Michael S. Smith, a Dreamy 18th Century Scottish Estate for Sale, and Schumacher’s new store opening. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

A Dreamy Scottish Estate for Sale

We have found our latest real estate daydream! One of Dumfriesshire’s oldest sporting estates has just come to market through Savills, and it comes with nearly everything one could possibly want from a life in the Scottish countryside. Set across 1,242 acres in the beautiful Nith Valley, Blackwood Estate encompasses a historic country house, cottages, gardens, farmland, woodland, and two miles of frontage along the River Nith.

At its heart is Blackwood House, a historic listed country house , surrounded by stunning gardens overlooking one of Scotland’s most celebrated salmon rivers. The wider estate includes six cottages, traditional outbuildings, 662 acres of farmland, and more than 500 acres of woodland. In other words, this is a proper Scottish estate in every sense. We just adore how even with grand home, this estate feels welcoming and well loved.

Blackwood’s sporting traditions run deep, with double-bank fishing across 12 named pools on the River Nith, 14 established pheasant and partridge drives, roe deer stalking, duck flighting, and rough shooting. We especially love that the house, gardens, cottages, river, farmland, and woods have all remained together, something increasingly rare.

All that is missing, as far as we can tell, is a wardrobe full of tweed, a few muddy dogs, and an invitation for all of us to come for the weekend.

Zoffany x Michael S. Smith

Cecil Beaton’s Winter Garden, archival chintzes, and a very darling pug. There are simply too many things we love happening at once in Zoffany’s latest collaboration with Michael S. Smith.

For Zoffany’s debut indoor-outdoor fabric collection, the celebrated American designer delved into the house’s archives, drawing inspiration from historic French chintzes, Japanese silks, stripes, florals, and plains. Rather wonderfully, the little imperfections found in the original documents, from print marks to ink bleeds, have been preserved in the new designs, giving these performance fabrics the character and charm of something far older.

The collection comes to life in Cecil Beaton’s famed Winter Garden, where Michael Smith and Hamish Bowles pose among great swathes of fabric alongside Stella the pug. The scene pays homage to a wonderful 1960s photograph of Beaton in the very same glasshouse with his own beloved pug, Simba. Naturally, we are obsessed.

The collection is colorful, layered, wonderfully eccentric, and steeped in design history without feeling the least bit precious. It is the perfect departure from stereotypical outdoor fabrics. We have long believed beautiful fabrics belong everywhere, and apparently that now includes outdoors, too. The full line can be viewed here!

Schumacher Is Having a Florida Moment

As if Florida’s design scene needed any more temptation. This September, Schumacher is opening two new showrooms and design shops in Jacksonville and West Palm Beach, bringing along thousands of its beloved fabrics, wallpapers, and trims, plus antiques, accessories, and plenty of Patterson Flynn rugs.

In Jacksonville, local designer Stephanie Jarvis has given the 3,000-square-foot space a dose of classic American style, Southern charm, and “beloved Florida moments.” Down in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach native Celerie Kemble is behind the glamorous 6,000-square-foot outpost, complete with Visual Comfort lighting, lacquered Dunes & Duchess tables, Waterworks fittings, Sabine Hill tile, and, perhaps most dangerously, an entire room devoted to Patterson Flynn’s abaca rugs.

David Frazier masterminded the interior architecture of both, which will also play host to trunk shows, book signings, workshops, and more, making them gathering places for Florida’s ever-growing design community. Schumacher’s continued Florida expansion feels only natural.

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 AERIN x The Mahjong Line, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House designer reveal, and a Julia Amory store opening in Dallas. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

AERIN x The Mahjong Line

It seems mahjong has taken us all by storm, and frankly, we can’t get enough of the beautifully designed sets continuing to hit the market. Now, The Mahjong Line has partnered with AERIN on its first-ever tile collaboration, bringing Aerin Lauder’s signature elegance to the brand’s beloved line.

Inspired by summers in East Hampton, one of Lauder’s favorite places, the collection celebrates the art of gathering with illustrations inspired by blooming gardens, local farm stands, leisurely bicycle rides, and relaxed afternoons spent outdoors.

Created in an beautiful Soft Blue colorway, the set reimagines all ten Joker tiles with charming new artwork while introducing metallic gold detailing for the very first time, adding a subtle touch of polish to the botanical motifs and dragonflies. The complete set includes the custom tiles, a coordinating light blue tile bag, and green wooden racks and pushers, all designed with love for the collaboration.

Stunningly executed and undeniably chic, it’s a collaboration that perfectly captures both brands’ love of gracious entertaining. If this is any indication of what’s to come, we certainly hope it’s only the first of many collaborations between these two.

The Kips Bay Decorator Show House Designer Reveal

The countdown is officially on. After revealing this year’s spectacular Greenwich Village townhouse earlier this summer, the Kips Bay Decorator Show House has now revealed the 22 designers who will transform the historic residence ahead of its September 16th opening.

Adding another layer of excitement, art curator Gay Gassmann has been enlisted to curate a remarkable collection of works from some of the country’s leading galleries, thoughtfully placing art throughout the home to complement each designer’s vision. We are hoping the art will be just as memorable as the rooms themselves!

Set within the beautifully restored 1839 townhouse at 80 W. Washington Place, this year’s Show House promises to be one of the design highlights of the fall season. As always, we can’t wait to see how each designer interprets their space and discover the ideas, craftsmanship, and inspiration that make Kips Bay one of our favorite events of the year.

Julia Amory Store Opening

Known for her colorful block-printed dresses and effortless take on classic dressing, Julia Amory has built a devoted following around clothing that feels as appropriate for a Palm Beach luncheon as it does for an English country weekend. Now, the brand is bringing that signature aesthetic to Texas with its first-ever boutique in the state, opening this fall on Dallas’ increasingly stylish Knox Street.

The new boutique will carry Julia’s full collection of ready-to-wear, accessories, and home décor in a space designed by Mark D. Sikes that perfectly reflects the brand’s timeless, collected sensibility. To celebrate the opening, Sikes also created a series of charming illustrations of the storefront, a fitting tribute to a brand that has long embraced color, pattern, and classic style.

As longtime admirers of Julia’s cheerful prints and polished approach to dressing, we’re delighted to see the brand’s continued expansion. Between the beautiful new boutique and Knox Street’s ever-growing roster of design-minded retailers, we have a feeling it will quickly become one of Dallas’ most charming shopping destinations—and one we’ll certainly be adding to our list the next time we’re in town.

Shop Julia Amory here in the meantime!

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 Lee Jofa x Weezie, The Six Bells Miniatures Weekend, and Inside WOW!house 2026. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Lee Jofa x Weezie

Who says the best patterns in the house have to stop at the living room? Legendary textile house Lee Jofa is bringing some of its most iconic prints to Weezie, proving that even the bathroom deserves a dose of good design.

The two brands have teamed up on a collection of towels, robes, shower curtains, and bath accessories that translate nearly 200 years of textile history into everyday essentials. Think of it as your favorite Lee Jofa fabrics, only instead of upholstering your sofa, they’re wrapping you up after a shower.

The collection has three signature patterns pulled from the archive. Palmero delivers lush Mughal-inspired botanicals, Marciana offers a beautifully tailored stripe, and Davenport, an early 19th-century French Indienne block print, brings a timeless floral into the mix. Together, they strike that perfect balance of classic, collected, and luxurious.

We’re always excited to see heritage brands reinterpret their archives in fresh ways, and this collaboration feels especially fitting. Beautiful textiles shouldn’t be confined to draperies and upholstery. If you’re the type who appreciates a well-dressed bathroom as much as a well-dressed living room, this collection is worth adding to your radar. And as if the Lee Jofa prints weren’t enough, we can’t get over the addition of Weezie’s signature monograms. The combination of Lee Jofa’s timeless patterns, Weezie’s charming aesthetic, and personalized embroidery is the cherry on top.

The Six Bells Miniatures Weekend

We’ve long professed our love for dollhouses and miniatures, so naturally this caught our eye. From September 23-25, The Six Bells is hosting its third Miniatures Weekend Workshop, an immersive retreat dedicated to the tiny worlds that have captivated collectors and design lovers for generations.

Set within The Six Bells, the storybook Countryside Inn in New York’s Hudson Valley inspired by the charm of the English and American countryside, it feels like the perfect backdrop for celebrating all things miniature. The beautifully designed inn, complete with antique-filled interiors, cozy guest rooms, and its own fictional village lore, is reason enough to visit.

If you’re anything like us, you’ve likely spent far too long admiring perfectly scaled Georgian drawing rooms, tiny copper pots, and impeccably upholstered dollhouse furniture. A weekend devoted entirely to the art of miniatures at a beautiful countryside in sounds like a dream. More information can be found here.

Inside WOW!house 2026

Every summer, we eagerly await the unveiling of WOW!house at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour in London, and this year’s edition certainly did not disappoint. Now in its fifth year, the month-long showhouse once again brought together many of the world’s leading interior designers and architects to create 22 fully realized spaces built from the ground up within the Design Centre, giving visitors an inspiring glimpse into the ideas, craftsmanship, and collaborations shaping design today.

From intimate libraries and jewel-box powder rooms to elegant salons, richly decorated bedrooms, and beautiful garden spaces, each room reflected its designer’s unique point of view while celebrating the extraordinary artisans and makers behind the work. The result was a showhouse filled with drama, storytelling, and a deep appreciation for beautifully crafted interiors.

Below, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite rooms from this year’s WOW!house to give you a little tease. Stay tuned for a more in-depth look inside!

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 Schumacher’s Bohemia Collection, The Downeast Art & Antiques Show, and Mark & Graham’s Dorm Collection. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

The Downeast Art & Antiques Show

If your idea of a perfect summer weekend involves eighteenth-century furniture, maritime charm, and the possibility of stumbling upon the antique of your dreams, allow us to introduce the Downeast Art & Antiques Show in Castine, Maine. Returning August 12–15, America’s longest-running event of its kind brings together 34 distinguished dealers in one of New England’s most picturesque coastal towns. This year also marks an exciting new chapter as the show moves to the waterfront campus of Maine Maritime Academy.

But the show is only part of the allure. Throughout the weekend, Castine comes alive with collectors, designers, and antiques enthusiasts strolling the harbor, lingering over long lunches, and filling the town’s historic streets with an unmistakable buzz. A preview cocktail party kicks off the festivities on Wednesday evening, followed by a special book signing with honorary chair and TGP favorite Billy Cotton, architect Gil Schafer, and designer Libby Cameron.

Expect everything from English and American furniture to folk art, vintage couture, rugs, fine art, and decorative objects, all thoughtfully curated by some of the country’s leading dealers. Whether you’re hunting for a museum-worthy find or simply looking for an excuse to spend a few days along the Maine coast, this is one summer pilgrimage well worth making. After all, there are few things we love more than a charming New England town filled with beautiful antiques and equally beautiful people. Tickets can be purchased here!

Schumacher’s Bohemia Collection

From painterly florals and classic stripes to ikats, geometric motifs, and delicate embroideries, Schumacher’s Bohemia collection has us pining for a trip abroad, preferably somewhere with bustling markets, handwoven textiles, and a suitcase with plenty of room to spare. Rooted in traditional craftsmanship yet designed for today’s interiors, the collection draws inspiration from artisanal techniques and influences from around the globe.

Rich textures, hand-screened prints, and subtle variations celebrate the beauty of the handmade, creating the kind of collected, well-traveled aesthetic we never seem to tire of. Designed for mixing and layering, the collection makes pattern feel effortless rather than intimidating. Several standout designs, including Dalila Hand-Screened Print and Indah Batik, have also been translated into coordinating wallcoverings, making it even easier to envelop a room in pattern. Whether paired with their fabric counterparts or mixed with something entirely unexpected, they bring warmth, depth, and just the right amount of character.

If there’s one takeaway from Bohemia, it’s not to be afraid of mixing and matching. Layer florals with stripes, embroideries with ikats, and handcrafted textures with tailored classics. The most inviting interiors are rarely the ones that match perfectly. A little imperfection is almost always more interesting. We absolutely adore this collection, and you can explore the full line here.

Mark & Graham’s Dorm Collection

While summer is still in full swing, the school year is quickly approaching. Before we know it, college campuses will once again be buzzing with move-in day excitement. Every year, we look forward to seeing the chic dorm room transformations, clever organizational finds, and elevated back-to-school essentials. There’s something undeniably nostalgic about this season, even long after graduation.

Fortunately, Mark & Graham has entered the conversation with a dorm collection that is brimming with style. From scalloped bedding and monogrammed towels to polished storage bins, cosmetic cases, laundry bags, and travel accessories, the collection practical and adorable.

As expected, personalization is at the heart of it all, transforming everyday necessities into pieces that feel thoughtful, elevated, and unique. These are the kinds of pieces that make a tiny dorm room feel a little more like home while adding plenty of charm along the way.

While we may have been perfectly content with mismatched twin sheets back in our college days, today’s students seem to have far loftier design aspirations, and we’re all for it. Besides, it’s never too early to start collecting timeless pieces that will follow you well beyond graduation. Shop the full collection here!
