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 Dorothy Draper & Company x The Beaufort Bonnet Company, David Flint Wood and India Hicks for Wallshoppe, and the Enchanting Interiors of Bunny Mellon. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Dorothy Draper & Company x The Beaufort Bonnet Company

There is something endlessly exciting about watching the Dorothy Draper legacy reappear in new places. The new collaboration between The Beaufort Bonnet Company and Dorothy Draper & Company feels like exactly that kind of surprise, a little bit polished, a little bit punchy, and entirely unafraid of color.

Dorothy Draper & Company has long stood for big florals, fearless palettes, graphic stripes, and a certain unapologetic glamour. Seeing that language translated into Beaufort Bonnet’s crisp, preppy universe feels perfectly natural. The prints feel lifted from a Palm Beach fantasia, all lively and classic, but grounded in silhouettes that are easy and wearable.

What makes it fun is the sense of lightheartedness. Nothing feels overly precious or overly styled. It is cheerful, yes, but also self-assured. The kind of pieces you imagine wearing on a sunny afternoon without overthinking it, perhaps while standing in front of a trellis wall Draper herself once made iconic.

More than anything, it is a reminder that great design legacies have range. They can live in architecture, interiors, textiles, and occasionally in your closet. And when they do, they should feel just as spirited as ever. The full collection is available here!

David Flint Wood and India Hicks for Wallshoppe

We have long loved India Hicks for her distinctly English roots paired with a chic island sensibility, so her latest collaboration with Wallshoppe, alongside her husband, David Flint Wood, immediately caught our attention. It feels entirely like a melding of minds, with both India and David represented so well. Polished but relaxed, rooted in tradition yet kissed by sea air.

Having lived on a small island for three decades, Hicks’ style lends itself to the tropical grit of island life, yet England remains her internal compass. That duality shapes the collection. Paradise here is not unruly or overly tropical. It is orderly, layered, and occasionally just slightly eccentric. There is symmetry, a tad bit of restraint, and the richness of island life.

Even when the palette drifts toward sun-washed hues, there is structure beneath it that feels distinctly English. The designs feel collected rather than contrived, textured rather than trendy. They are meant to be enjoyed daily, not admired nervously from across the room, which, if we are honest, is exactly how the best interiors should function.

We also love the spirit behind the collaboration, not only between David and India, but between the pair and Wallshoppe. India describes working with the Wallshoppe team as an ongoing conversation, and that ease shows. The collection does not feel overworked but easy and lived in. In short, it is India Hicks distilled. English discipline softened by island light. Launching on March 2nd, the collection will be available here.

The Enchanting Interiors of Bunny Mellon: Paintings by Snowy Campbell

We have long admired and written about the inimitable style of Bunny Mellon, so the arrival of The Enchanting Interiors of Bunny Mellon: Paintings by Snowy Campbell feels especially meaningful to us. Published by Rizzoli, the book offers a rare and intimate glimpse into rooms that have become enduring benchmarks of American style.

Rather than presenting the interiors through glossy photography, the book features the watercolor paintings of Snowy Campbell, who was commissioned by Mellon in the 1970s to document several of her residences. The paintings capture not only color, furnishings, and arrangement, but also the light and rhythm of her interiors in a way that feels deeply personal. They’re remarkably transportive, fun, and a touch wacky.

Mellon’s homes in New York, Washington, and Upperville have long been studied not only for their gardens, but for their effortless, traditional interiors with an unbelievable atmosphere. A masterpiece hung with restraint, a textile chosen for nuance rather than trend, a room that feels collected over decades. It is a way of decorating that values connoisseurship and ease in equal measure.

There is something especially meaningful about seeing these interiors translated through watercolor. The medium softens the edges and invites you to linger, reinforcing what we have always admired about Bunny Mellon. True elegance, deep consideration, and spaces that are meant to be lived in.

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 the 6th Annual Mark Hampton Lecture, the John Derian Spring Decoupage collection, and Paige Spearin for Lycette. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

The 6th Annual Mark Hampton Lecture

The design calendar is never short on lectures, but the Mark Hampton Lecture remains one of the few that feels truly worth circling. Hosted by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, the 6th Annual Mark Hampton Lecture takes place February 25th at the General Society Library, honoring the legacy of the legendary decorator whose work helped define a distinctly American vision of elegance.

This year’s program brings together Steven Gambrel in conversation with Alexa Hampton, a pairing that feels especially fitting. Gambrel’s interiors are celebrated for their layered ease, while Hampton continues the classical tradition championed by her father, Mark Hampton, with a sensibility that balances rigor and livability.

What makes the evening particularly appealing is its focus. This is not nostalgia for tradition, but a conversation about proportion, craftsmanship, and why rooms grounded in classical principles are so important. For those who believe in timeless design and beauty, make sure to purchase your tickets here. It will be a fun night of discussion, mingling, and inspiration.

John Derian Spring Decoupage Collection

Few objects possess the charm of John Derian’s decoupage, and the new Spring 2026 collection reminds us why his work has become such a beloved presence in well-layered homes. Rooted in antique prints and ephemera, his pieces carry a sense of history that we so cherish at The Glam Pad. This collection leans into the poetic and the curious, with botanical studies, insects, maritime imagery, animals, and fragments of 18th and 19th century illustrations translated onto trays, plates, paperweights, and small tabletop objects. The imagery feels both archival and playful, the sort of visual language that feels collected, meaningful, and deeply personal.

John Derian’s process remains central to the appeal. Each piece begins with antique imagery sourced from his vast personal archive, then layered by hand under glass by artisans in his New York studio. The result is something that sits between object and artifact, familiar yet transportive to another time. What makes the spring collection especially delightful is its sense of discovery. A butterfly study might sit comfortably beside a floral plate, while a tiny tray featuring a ship or trade card feels like a small treasure uncovered in a curiosity cabinet. These are objects that encourage collecting rather than decorating, layering rather than matching.

At The Glam Pad, we have always believed that the most interesting interiors are collected over time, built from pieces that carry narrative and memory. This spring decoupage collection fits effortlessly into that philosophy and we cannot wait to get our hands on a piece or two. The full collection can be shopped here. And click here to read our Style Profile Q&A with John Derian to learn more about his delightful world of whimsey.

Paige Spearin x Lycette

We are so excited about the new Lycette needlepoint collection created in collaboration with artist Paige Spearin! Known for her whimsical hand, bunny characters, and punchy sense of color, Paige brings a playful sophistication to Lycette Designs’ beloved canvases that feel timely, collectible, and so much fun.

The collection is a joyful mix of motifs that nod to coastal living, sport, culture, and a touch of cheeky glamour. Think skiing bunnies, Honey Duces, mermaids, Palm Beach-ready scenes, and much more all with Paige’s iconic painterly lightness. These are not your grandmother’s needlepoint canvases, though they carry the same sense of tradition and care.

What makes the collaboration especially appealing is how it bridges craft and personality. Needlepoint has long been associated with patience and tradition, yet Paige’s designs introduce wit and a contemporary sensibility, meaning the finished pieces feel perfectly at home in a layered interior or tucked into a beach house bar.

There is something particularly satisfying about a craft that asks you to slow down while producing something joyful. Whether worked stitch by stitch or simply admired for their charm, these designs bring a welcome sense of levity to the world and are a must have. Shop the full collection here.

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 Dorothy Draper x Stubbs & Wootton, Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach, and Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Dorothy Draper x Stubbs & Wootton

There are certain names in American design that need little introduction, and Dorothy Draper is undoubtedly one of them. Known for her fearless use of color, theatrical scale, and unapologetic glamour, Draper helped define a distinctly optimistic vision of decorating that continues to influence interiors today. Debuting February 16th, Dorothy Draper & Company unveils an exclusive collaboration with Stubbs & Wootton, the beloved loafer house long associated with polished, personality-driven dressing. The collection feels like a natural meeting of minds, bringing together Draper’s iconic decorative language with Stubbs & Wootton’s classic silhouettes.

The result is a lineup that feels equally suited to Park Avenue as it does to Palm Beach. There is a sense of ease paired with a touch of glamour, the kind that suggests confidence rather than excess. Much like Draper’s interiors, the designs understand that tradition need not be quiet and that elegance is often at its best when it carries a bit of wit.

The collection reads exactly as one might hope. Polished but not rigid, expressive without feeling overdone, and equally at home on Park Avenue or in Palm Beach. It carries that particular kind of American glamour that feels effortless. Much like the interiors of Dorothy Draper & Company, the designs understand that tradition need not be quiet and that elegance is often at its best when it carries a bit of wit and a lot of color.

At a moment when fashion and interiors continue to borrow from one another, this collaboration serves as a reminder that great style transcends category. Whether worn in the city or seaside, these loafers channel a spirit that is unmistakably Dorothy Draper. Make sure to snag a pair here on Monday when they drop!

Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach

Anticipation is building for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach, opening on February 24. Newly released renderings provide an early look inside, hinting at the layered interiors and distinct perspectives we have come to look forward to each year.

Renderings always carry a particular kind of excitement. They offer just enough to spark curiosity while leaving room for imagination, hinting at material palettes, and the moods each designer hopes to create. If these early previews are any indication, this year’s rooms point to an intriguing blend of classic Palm Beach sensibility and new ideas, balancing tradition with a more current perspective.

At The Glam Pad, we always relish this moment of preview, when ideas begin to take shape and the creative direction of the house starts to reveal itself. Today, we are sharing a sneak peek at a few of the rooms we are especially excited to see come to life once the doors officially open.

Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture

This past Tuesday evening, The Glam Pad had the pleasure of attending the opening of Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture at The Frick Collection, a show that feels both impeccably timed and revelatory. The exhibition, the first in New York devoted entirely to Thomas Gainsborough’s portraiture, brings together more than two dozen paintings from the Frick’s collection alongside important loans from across North America and the United Kingdom.

What makes the presentation particularly compelling is its focus on the relationship between portraiture and fashion in eighteenth-century Britain. Clothing was far more than adornment; it was deeply tied to ideas of identity and status. For Gainsborough, painting a silk gown, lace cuff, or embroidered coat was never merely decorative. It was integral to the narrative each sitter wished to project. His signature, featherlight brushwork give fabrics a remarkable luminosity, while pose and gesture reveal the subtleties of personality. Together, the works trace the shifting social landscape of Georgian Britain.

The intimate setting of the Frick only heightens the experience of these incredible portraits. It was an elegant evening and a fitting debut for an exhibition that reminds us how closely art, fashion, and identity have always been intertwined. Gainsborough understood this instinct intuitively, capturing not only likeness but presence, and in doing so, created paintings that continue to feel remarkably alive. On view on through May 25th, make sure to book a time to see this thought provoking exhibition.

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 Charleston by Design, Thursday Morning at STAIR Auction, and Dôen x Bernard. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Charleston by Design

Mark your calendars and start planning your spring travel accordingly, because Charleston by Design will return March 12th to the 15th. Hosted by the Historic Charleston Foundation, the event brings together designers, architects, and tastemakers for a thoughtful weekend centered on craftsmanship, preservation, and the enduring influence of place.

Charleston has long been a magical city where historic architecture and contemporary life coexist. This weekend leans into that idea, inviting guests to consider how tradition continues to shape the way we design now. The festivities begin at the storied Aiken-Rhett House with an opening night celebration set within the preserved interiors of the circa-1820 house museum. Atmospheric, layered, and impossible to replicate elsewhere, it is the sort of setting that is quintessentially Charleston.

A highlight of the weekend is the Design in Mind speaker series, welcoming an impressive roster that includes Douglas Friedman in conversation with Stellene Volandes, alongside Nina Campbell, Nickey Kehoe, and Michael S. Smith. The Home & Design Tour opens the doors to private residences known for exceptional architecture and craftsmanship, while visits to the American College of the Building Arts offer insight into the future of traditional trades. Guided walks through the city’s pastel façades, ironwork, and hidden gardens serve as a reminder that Charleston itself is often the most compelling design lesson.

For those inclined toward a well-planned weekend, Insider events add another layer of charm, from a rooftop luncheon hosted by The Indigo Road Hospitality Group to cocktails at designer Michael Mitchell’s private residence. The program concludes with Art + Mimosas at the Aiken-Rhett House, a cheerful sendoff to what promises to be a memorable few days. Be sure to purchase your tickets here.

Thursday Morning at STAIR Auction

We love an auction! Beyond the thrill of discovering incredible pieces, there is the rare opportunity to own something with real history, objects that have lived full lives before finding their next home. The upcoming February edition of Thursday Morning at STAIR, hosted by STAIR Galleries, is exactly the kind of sale we’ve been itching for.

This auction includes items from the personal collection of architect Gil Schafer, whose work has come to define a gracious, enduring vision of the classic American home. The pieces are deeply aligned with the sensibility seen throughout his Hudson Valley residence, Middlefield, which Schafer shared with his wife, designer Courtnay Daniels Haden, and sold last year.

Schafer has often said he designs houses to be comfortable, understated, and built to stand the test of time, and that philosophy is unmistakable here. These are not static artifacts, but furnishings meant to be lived with, loved, and layered into evolving interiors.

The sale itself strikes an interesting balance between traditional and modern, pairing contemporary art with English and Continental furniture, Asian works of art, and silver. Provenance only adds to the intrigue, with lots tied to legendary tastemaker Jayne Wrightsman alongside club chairs designed by Markham Roberts and lots from other grand estates.

We have always believed that the most memorable rooms are collected rather than decorated, shaped over time with pieces that carry both character and story. If you admire Gil Schafer’s layered approach to design or the opulence associated with the legendary Jayne Wrightsman, this is the kind of catalog worth settling into. Consider it equal parts inspiration and temptation. The full catalog can be viewed here.

The Romance of DÔEN & BERNARD

We are huge fans of the romantic and timeless collections from DÔEN, a women-run business in California offering clothing and accessories inspired by a nostalgia of decades past. And the new fragrance from DÔEN & BERNARD is grounded in a shared sensibility that has long favored restraint, romance, and the beauty of the everyday.

The limited-edition DÔEN & BERNARD scent, Indra, offered as both a candle and a porcelain diffuser, draws inspiration from Los Angeles in bloom. Meant to evoke warm air drifting through open windows, bare feet on grass, and the kind of quiet domestic moments that are often the most beautiful, jasmine is the fragrance’s central note.

There is a natural ease to this collaboration that feels particularly appealing right now. Nothing is overstated. Nothing is trying too hard. Much like the best interiors, it suggests rather than declares. It is fragrance as atmosphere, subtle enough to live with daily and elegant enough to shape the mood of a room without overtaking it. And the package design truly stole our hearts, too.

In a moment when so much feels over-designed and over-announced, the DÔEN & BERNARD collaboration is a study in restraint. It is the kind of object that slips effortlessly into a home and a we always love a great candle moment. Click here to purchase the Indra candle and shop the rest of the exquisite DÔEN 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 Schiaparelli at the V&A, Ruggable x Scalamandré Rugs, and the James Showroom Palm Beach Pop-Up. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Schiaparelli at the V&A

London is gearing up for a fashion exhibition that will be a must see. In spring 2026, the Victoria and Albert Museum will open Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art, the UK’s first major exhibition dedicated to the great Elsa Schiaparelli, one of the 20th century’s most visionary designers. Running from March 28th through November 1st, the show will follow the extraordinary legacy of Elsa Schiaparelli, from her Surrealist beginnings in the 1920s to the house’s present-day direction.

V&A exhibitions are always a favorite, consistently immersive and impeccably executed, and this promises to be no exception. Schiaparelli’s world lends itself naturally to spectacle and storytelling, where fashion, art, theater, and fantasy all come together. Long before “fashion as art” became a familiar phrase, she was blurring those boundaries through outlandish silhouettes, unexpected materials, and collaborations with artists including Salvador Dalí and Jean Cocteau.

The exhibition will present more than 200 objects, from couture garments and jewelry to paintings, photographs, perfumes, and archival material, positioning Schiaparelli not simply as a couturier but as a creative force whose influence extended far beyond the runway. Rather than a traditional retrospective, the show will be a richly layered exploration of how imagination, craftsmanship, and cultural converge.

For anyone drawn to the intersection of fashion, art, and design history, Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art feels destined to become one of the standout exhibitions on the 2026 cultural calendar. Tickets go on sale here February 3rd. We cannot wait to visit! Schiaparelli at the V&A!

Ruggable x Scalamandré Rugs

There are few names in American decoration that carry as much visual memory as Scalamandré, which is why its new collaboration with Ruggable feels genuinely interesting and timely. Not because it’s loud, but because it’s clever and perfectly bold.

Scalamandré patterns have long lived in the margins of our cultural imagination. They show up in rooms you remember long after you’ve left them. Translating those storied motifs into rugs feels like a natural evolution, especially when done in a way that doesn’t ask you to treat them like museum pieces. The iconic Zebras, cheetahs, and a tigers feel familiar here, but softened, grounded, and meant to be lived with.

What’s appealing is the lack of fuss. These rugs don’t demand a room be designed around them. They simply take their place and do the work. They’re an instant character builder. It’s heritage design that understands modern life. At The Glam Pad, we’re always drawn to moments where classic pieces adapt without losing their point of view. This collection manages exactly that. It’s not about reinvention but a modern take on a classic . Shop the full collection here!

JAMES Showroom Palm Beach Pop-Up

The JAMES Showroom is heading to Palm Beach! Beginning February 18th, the beloved multi-line showroom will pop up in the Casa Branca Atelier & Showroom, bringing more than 20 artisanal lines to the Palm Beach design community.
