AERIN x The Mahjong Line, Kips Bay Decorator Show House Designer Reveal, and Julia Amory Opens in Dallas

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.

This year’s roster is an exciting mix of celebrated names and rising talents, including Carrier and Company, Peter Dunham & Associates, Chad Dorsey Design, Marmol Radziner, Nicole Fisher Interiors, EZG Design, Studio Armando Aguirre, and John Ferguson Interiors, among many others.

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.

The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World

As an expert with years of experience in decorating, renovating, and building homes,  Jenny Rose-Innes shares her unique insights on how to bring the outside in, creating spaces that enhance our connection to nature in her latest book The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World. The book is both inspirational and practical, featuring stunning images of Jenny’s own home and garden, along with tips and advice from her extensive career.

“Gardens and interiors – and their design – are my two great loves,” Jenny says in the book’s introduction. “Although never formally trained in either, I was able to celebrate both Australian and British design in my two previous books. With this third book, I wanted to continue my celebration of both gardens and interiors by turning the focus on nature. Using my own house and garden as a framework seemed to be the best way to do this, as my love of, and respect for, nature has been at the forefront of most decisions I have made in relation to their design.”

The home of Jenny Rose-Innes

In addition, The Nature of Decorating features the homes and gardens of designers Jenny admires, including Butter Wakefield, Cath Kidston and Sean Anthony Pritchard. Whether you’re looking to add a touch of pattern and color to your home or completely transform your living space, The Nature of Decorating is your ultimate guide to reconnecting with nature through interior design.

Examples of the inspirational designers featured are below…

Lee Jofa x Weezie, The Six Bells Miniatures Weekend, and Inside WOW!house 2026

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.

The weekend brings together renowned miniature artisans Lee Thomas and Peggy Kimball for hands-on workshops, leisurely countryside meals, and plenty of time to admire the extraordinary craftsmanship behind these pint-sized creations. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply someone who can’t resist peering into a beautifully appointed dollhouse, it promises to be a delightful celebration of all things miniature.

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!

At Home in Australia with Jenny Rose-Innes

Author Jenny Rose-Innes developed a passion for beautiful homes and gardens as a child. Growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa, Jenny’s family spent holidays at her grandparents’ beautiful old Victorian farmhouse in the Eastern Cape and their beach house shack where she was surrounded by gingham, faded florals, disparate collections of furniture and artwork, shells, plants and flowers.

Encouraged by her mother, she was also introduced to English literature and quickly developed a deep love for the English countryside. As a newlywed, Jenny subscribed to British magazines, which would take months to arrive by boat, and served as her introduction to English houses and the work of designers such as Colefax and Fowler.

Photography by Abbie Mellé, The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World

“My connection with everything British was cemented when, as a family, we lived there for a few years; during that time, I fully immersed myself in amateur interior decorating, and experienced as much as I possibly could,” she explains in the introduction of her latest book, The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World.

Jenny emigrated with her family to Australia 20 years ago. With a shared passion for interior design and gardening, she and her husband, Michael, have renovated many properties both in South Africa and in Australia. Jenny began blogging as a way of documenting her life in a new country, as well as keeping friends back home abreast of their new lives. She has turned that passion into a career and has written three Interior Design books, also including Australian Designers at Home and the best-seller British Designers at Home, which we previously reviewed at The Glam Pad.

Today, we get to know more about Jenny as she takes us inside her beautiful home in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, as featured in The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World. And stay tuned, as next week we will be featuring homes and gardens that influenced Jenny, also featured in this book, including Butter Wakefield, Cath Kidston and Sean Anthony Pritchard.

Photography by Abbie Mellé, The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World

Welcome, Jenny!

Q:  Please share your vision behind The Nature of Decorating, and how did you decide to include your own home and garden?

A:  In this book I tried to find a way to find a way of doing this in a subtle way. As Nature is so important to me – my editor and I came up with Nature being centre point around which discussions of my house and garden could circulate.

Q:  What is your approach to gardening and bringing nature into your home?

A:  My approach to gardening is that – for the first time – I have been very conscious of the fact that I share this 5 acre parcel of land with Nature and the wildlife that inhabits this space. I have planted with purpose – not only to beautify but also to attract birds and pollinators. The arrival of small birds to this property has been a direct result of this planting – being Natives and plants like fuscias, honeysuckle, salvias etc specifically to attract Honeyeaters. We also have adopted a no spray prolicy – guaranteeing safety to the pollinators and birds. I like to bring seasonal beautify into my home – so that the seasons are represented inside – echoing the outside. Blossoms, berries, branches – green and autumnal – and of course flowers and more flowers.

Photography by Abbie Mellé, The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World

Q:  When did you become interested in interior design, and how did you develop the skills to design your beautiful home?

A:  I became interested in Interior design from a very young age. – from my teens I would say. I wasn’t hugely impressed with choices my parents were making during a renovation of our home and began suggesting other choices which happily they adopted. Over the years – because we have moved many times and renovated many times – I have had plenty of practice at honing this craft. I have never had any formal training in either garden design or interior design.

Q:  Where do you find your beautiful tableware and what is your philosophy when entertaining?

A:  I have found lots of my tableware while travelling – the Aptware in France and other designs in Paris and London. I do love a ‘pretty’ table – and also love to reflect the seasons in a tables cape. Fresh flowers, or tiny potted plants always find their way to the table.

Q:  Do you have any favorite collections?

A:  My Herend collection is much loved; – Majolica I have collected over the years; and Staffordshire figurines – particularly the sweet bunnies.

Q:  What advice would you give to those without formal training who want to create their own beautiful homes?

A:  Try to work out what you love before buying impulsively. Once you have a love for a certain style or period – collect and select within that framework slowly and it will all then begin to look cohesive.

Q:  How did you select the designers featured in The Nature of Decorating?

A:  Mostly from Instagram – people I have followed who have a similar love and interest in Nature.

Photography by Abbie Mellé, The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World

Q:  Any favorite tips you learned from them while writing this book?

A:  I loved Robin’s garden structures; the way Louise Ness allows Hellebores and Violas to dry out naturally on a pretty tray – how Caroline plonks loads of greenery into her laundry sink to be arranged the following day; How Cath Kidston brings her Pelargoniums in and out of her house; how Sue Bond arranges vegetables, and other culinary delights in her baskets in the kitchen

Photography by Abbie Mellé, The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World

Q:  Anything else you would like to share?

A:  That this book was a true labour of love – the thought and planning and planting beforehand – the shoots – everything involved with them – It was daunting at times – having only myself to rely on – listing and planning all the shots – styling them all. That this book was 4 years in the making!

The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World

Thank you, Jenny, for joining us today! We are enchanted by your beautiful home and look forward to reviewing the rest of your new book next week!

The Nature of Decorating: Interiors Inspired by the Natural World is available for purchase via Amazon, along with Jenny’s first two books Australian Designers at Home and British Designers at Home. And for ongoing inspiration, please follow @jennyroseinnes on Instagram.

Schumacher’s Bohemia Collection, The Downeast Art & Antiques Show, and Mark & Graham’s Dorm Collection

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.

A post shared by Tom Preston (@thomasprestoninteriors)

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.

Photographs courtesy of Max Kim-Bee.

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!

Inside a Bold and Beautiful Fifth Avenue Apartment by Corey Damen Jenkins

Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Known for his fearless use of color and polished take on traditional interiors, Corey Damen Jenkins has become one of today’s most celebrated designers. One of his latest projects, a reimagined prewar apartment along Carnegie Hill’s Museum Mile, is no exception. Today, we’re taking a peek inside a jewel box of a home that marries bold decorative expression with thoughtful planning, a true testament to a great designer.

Created for real estate developer Erika Faye Jones and her two daughters, the Fifth Avenue residence underwent an extensive eighteen-month gut renovation. Originally formed by the awkward combination of two separate apartments, Corey carefully reconfigured the layout to restore its architectural integrity while creating expansive, light-filled living spaces designed for modern family life.

Emerald silk grasscloth ceilings, hand-embroidered de Gournay murals, plum lacquered walls, and sculptural applications of Calacatta Viola marble fill the home with warmth, glamour, and personality. Yet perhaps our favorite detail is one that remains largely unseen: a hidden spa room tucked discreetly behind the primary dressing room. It’s something every girl certainly needs.

Guided by his philosophy of “it will be greater later,” Corey remained patient throughout the renovation, embracing flexibility and trusting the process to create a home like this. The result feels elegant without being precious, layered and delightfully maximal, and deeply personal to Erika and her daughters. Full of life and color, it’s hard to imagine a more fitting home for a family of girls.

Take a look inside!

Nantucket by Design, Tillett Textiles Latest Collection, and Newport Design Week

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 Nantucket by Design, Tillett Textiles Latest Collection, and Newport Design Week. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Nantucket by Design

If you needed another excuse to escape to Nantucket this summer, consider this your sign! Nantucket by Design returns this weekend, July 13 through 16, bringing some of the design world’s most beloved names together for four days of interiors, architecture, gardens, craftsmanship, and lots of fun.

Nantucket by Design 2025

Hosted by the Nantucket Historical Association, this year’s event marks the tenth anniversary of Nantucket by Design, and the lineup is a good one. Alexa Hampton and Corey Damen Jenkins will sit down for a “Design Duet,” David Netto joins Sarah Wetenhall for a conversation on breathing new life into the historic Hedges Inn, and Fernando Wong will share a peek at his plans to restore the gardens of Nantucket’s Hadwen House.

The festivities culminate with a Design Luncheon with Cordelia de Castellane and Tom Scheerer, moderated by Veranda Editor-in-Chief Steele Marcoux, followed by a first look at The Nantucket Show. With this year’s theme being “Etched in Time,” we know it is bound to be wonderful. And who does not like few days on Nantucket surrounded by beautiful houses and brilliant design minds? More information about the weekend can be found here!

Tillett Textiles Latest Collection

Speaking of Nantucket, Schumacher has just dipped into the archives with a beautiful new collection from Tillett Textiles, and we are completely charmed!

Photographs courtesy of Max Kim-Bee.

Founded by the husband-and-wife duo Leslie and D.D. Tillett in the 1940s, Tillett Textiles became known for its hand-screened fabrics and imaginative approach to pattern, finding fans in Bunny Mellon, Jackie Kennedy, Sister Parish, and Albert Hadley. Quite the fan club!

During the 1960s, the pair traveled to Nantucket, where they were commissioned to create designs celebrating the island’s beauty, craft, and artistry. Now, more than sixty years later, those wonderfully playful, painterly patterns are feeling as fresh as ever.

Based on the Tilletts’ original hand-painted artwork, the new nautical-inspired fabrics and wallpapers are printed by hand in the United States using the same meticulous techniques that made the textile house so beloved. And what better place to celebrate than Nantucket. During Nantucket by Design, Schumacher will toast the collection with a beach party inspired by the very island that started it all. We are ready to cover a seaside cottage in every last pattern.

Newport Design Week

On the subject of design events, just off the heels of Nantucket by Design comes the crème de la crème of them all: Newport Design Week! One of our favorite events on the design circuit, the three-day celebration brings together some of the industry’s greatest minds for a program rooted in architecture, history, and historic preservation.

This year’s theme, “250 Years of Cross-Currents in American Design,” explores the global influences that have shaped American interiors from the Colonial era to today. Expect a packed lineup of lectures, conversations, book signings, and lively celebrations, all unfolding against the rather spectacular backdrop of Newport and it’s incredible historic homes.

Ochre Court

The festivities kick off at the Newport Art Museum before moving to the magnificent Ochre Court, with a summer soirée at Rough Point thrown in for good measure. Clear your calendars and dust off your Newport summer best! More information and tickets can be found here.

A 1920s Alabama Beauty by Jenny Holladay

Interior designer Jenny Holladay has built her career on beauty. After graduating with a degree in Art History from the University of Virginia, she worked as a talent agent for Ford Models Inc. in San Francisco and Chicago. Five years later, she decided to pursue her long-standing interest in interior design which led her to join Summer Thornton Design, and eventually move back home to Richmond to open her eponymous firm, Jenny Holladay Design.

We first fell in love with Jenny’s work when her exquisite Chicago townhouse was featured by FREDERIC magazine, and we are delighted to share highlights today from a beautiful project she and her team completed in Mobile, Alabama. Styling by Julialake Graham; Photography by Laura Rowe.

This Greek Revival home, built in 1923, is located in the historic Ashland Place neighborhood. The project began with a leaking shower that came through the kitchen ceiling, so the couple decided it was time to update the bedroom suites and the kitchen. An active family of five, they wanted their home to be more tailored and a reflection of their tastes.

They love wallpaper, so Jenny and her team used it in a variety of ways—on walls, ceilings, and borders—to add a layer of softness and detail. “Their ceilings are over 10 feet throughout, so the wallpaper really helped cozy up the spaces,” she said.

“The tween girl was very specific! She wanted a pink room with Hydrangeas, so we used Cowtan & Tout’s Chantilly in pink & green for her drapery. It was perfect! We also built a new closet wall for her that utilized the space much better and looks beautiful, especially with the fabric cabinet fronts,” said Jenny.

Jenny and her team tore out the entire bathroom so that she could have an updated private bathroom that is sweet but will age with her.

“It’s perfect, and has tons more storage!” she said.


The primary bedroom is quite large, so Jenny and her team installed a beautiful grasscloth to add texture. They brought in pattern with the Alice Sergeant Andalus drapery fabric which they matched on the bed as well.

“The client immediately fell in love with that Alice Sergeant fabric, so we knew it needed to be the star of the show!” Jenny explained.



A beautiful and timeless home with exquisite attention to detail… We adore every single inch!

Jenny Holladay has been featured in House Beautiful, Frederic, Vogue, Galerie, RHome, and The Glam Pad, including both her independent designs and collaborations with Summer Thornton Design. For additional information, please visit Jenny Holladay Design and follow @jennyholladaydesign on Instagram for ongoing inspiration.

And stay tuned as we look forward to featuring more of her work!

Jean Harlow’s Home for Sale, LoveShackFancy x Target, and Jenny Walton’s Jenny Sais Quoi

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 Jean Harlow’s Estate Hits the Market, LoveShackFancy x Target, and Jenny Walton’s Jenny Sais Quoi. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Jean Harlow’s Estate Hits the Market

If these walls could talk! Old Hollywood has always had a way of capturing our imagination, and few stars embody its enduring glamour quite like Jean Harlow. Listed by David Kramer, the icon’s legendary Holmby Hills estate has just hit the market for $16.8 million, giving us a rare opportunity to step inside one of Hollywood’s most storied residences. Built in 1932, the stately Colonial Revival home remains a beautiful time capsule of the Golden Age, quietly tucked behind a canopy of nearly century-old magnolia trees.

While the estate has been updated over the years, many of its original details remain intact. Marble fireplaces, elegant boiserie paneling, crown moldings, and arched built-in bookcases preserve the home’s original character. There is even a hidden Prohibition-era bar concealed behind a library bookcase, giving us a delightful glimpse into Hollywood’s glamorous past. Outside, the sprawling grounds feature a pool with its original diving board, koi ponds, waterfalls, a tennis court, and two greenhouses, all lending the property the romantic grandeur of another era.

At The Glam Pad, we’ll never tire of homes that tell a story, especially those steeped in the magic of Old Hollywood. This is far more than a beautiful house. It’s a remarkably preserved piece of cinematic history that still whispers of glittering dinner parties, silver screen legends, and the effortless elegance that continues to define Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Jenny Walton’s Jenny Sais Quoi

Jenny Walton, renowned New York illustrator, fashion influencer and style icon, is a constant source of inspiration with her impeccable style, retro-inspired charm, whimsical wit, and endless creativity. So naturally, Jenny Sais Quoi: Adventures in Vintage & Personal Style, published by Monacelli, was one of our most anticipated book releases of the year. We are delighted to report that it is every bit as charming, clever, and wonderfully unexpected as Jenny herself.

Part memoir, part style guide, and part visual diary, the book offers a colorful peek inside Jenny’s imagination. Thoughtful personal essays, humorous stories, and poetic musings are interwoven with more than 150 of her own illustrations, paintings, and photographs, exploring everything from the value of vintage to finding one’s own authentic sense of style.

The book itself is every bit as creative as its author. Playful surprises are tucked throughout, including an artist’s palette-shaped die-cut, a miniature journal filled with sketches and musings, and split pages that allow readers to mix and match illustrated outfits. It is the sort of book to pore over, revisit, and leave permanently within arm’s reach.

What we have always loved most about Jenny is her refusal to take fashion, or herself, too seriously. It has been such fun following her journey over the years, from New York to Milan and now California with her fiancé, watching her style and creative world evolve along the way. Through it all, her world has remained elegant but playful, beautiful but never precious, and always guided by curiosity and a delight in the unexpected. Jenny Sais Quoi captures that spirit perfectly. If you, like us, believe life is infinitely more interesting with a little wit, whimsy, and vintage thrown in, consider this essential reading. Don’t forget to pick up a copy here!

LoveShackFancy x Target

There are few brands today that have so successfully carved out a world of their own as LoveShackFancy. Since its debut in 2013, Rebecca Hessel Cohen‘s unabashedly romantic aesthetic of faded florals, ribbons, ruffles, and vintage-inspired femininity has become instantly recognizable. Now, the brand is bringing its unmistakably girlish universe back to Target with its largest collaboration to date, infusing the everyday with a healthy dose of charm. With over 200 pieces, most under $25, LoveShackFancy x Target is perfectly timed for back to school.

Launching July 5, the collection features more than 200 pieces spanning women’s, girls’, and baby apparel, accessories, beauty, stationery, home décor, and more. True to form, nearly every piece is adorned with the brand’s signature prints and pastel palette. It’s a thoughtful expansion of the original collaboration, offering plenty of opportunities to bring a little LoveShackFancy magic into everyday life without the designer price tag.

Officially, the collection is designed with back-to-school season in mind, but we’d argue many of the best pieces transcend the classroom. Floral notebooks, bow-adorned hair accessories, charming cosmetic cases, and cheerful desk accessories feel just as fitting for brightening a home office as a school backpack. If past LoveShackFancy launches are any indication, the prettiest pieces won’t linger for long, so consider this your gentle reminder to set an alarm! The collaboration is available in stores starting July 5 and online starting July 5 at 5am CDT.

A Hudson Valley Estate Steeped in American History

America’s 250th birthday is this week, and today we take a step back in time with Linley House Estate, an extraordinary Greek Revival Center Hall Colonial dating back to the Civil War. Located in Millbrook New York, the historically significant home is set on over 113 pastoral acres in the heart of the Hudson Valley with sweeping views of the Catskills. It also happens to be for sale, contract pending.

Let’s take a peek inside with photography courtesy of Nicholas Doyle and listing agents Andrew Gates of Houlihan Lawrence and Michael Passaro of Douglas Elliman.

Linley House Estate – A Once-in-a-Generation Hudson Valley Opportunity. Perhaps only once in a generation does such a rare opportunity arise to acquire one of the most private, historically significant, and visually commanding estates in the heart of the Hudson Valley.

Welcome to The Linley House Estate, an extraordinary Greek Revival Center Hall Colonial set on over 113 pastoral acres across three parcels, with additional land available for the discerning buyer.

With newly cleared view sites and meandering trails, the property opens to a world of natural dynamism, making it uniquely suited for a multi-generational compound or a private retreat of exceptional caliber.

The estate residence features 8 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, with grandly proportioned public rooms, soaring ceiling heights, and cozy, intimate spaces that invite relaxation and gathering. The chef’s kitchen, open to a warm and inviting family room with a wood-burning fireplace, is perfect for daily living and entertaining alike. French doors lead to a wide veranda ideal for alfresco dining and sunset views.
The primary suite offers a true retreat with its own fireplace, two walk-in closets, and dual en-suite baths. The second floor includes four additional bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, and a private guest seating area. South-facing rooms enjoy access to private terraces with breathtaking views. The third floor boasts two more guest rooms, each with en-suite baths.
