Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at A Day in the Eighteenth Century at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, GreenRow’s first store opening, and Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ 2026 Southeastern Designer Showhouse. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

A Day in the Eighteenth Century at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs

The Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris is inviting visitors to step inside the world of an eighteenth-century hôtel particulier with its new exhibition, A Day in the Eighteenth Century: Chronicle of a Parisian Townhouse. Rather than presenting decorative arts as isolated objects, the show recreates the rhythm of daily life inside an aristocratic Parisian residence in the years leading up to the French Revolution.

Moving room to room, visitors follow the flow of the household from morning to evening, passing through spaces such as the dining room, gaming salon, and the boudoir. The exhibition shows how these interiors were not only beautifully decorated but designed for the rituals of social life, from leisurely mornings to lively evenings spent entertaining.

More than 550 objects are included throughout the townhouse setting, from furniture and silver to ceramics, textiles, dress, and jewelry. Seen together, they give a fuller picture of the craftsmanship and refinement that made Paris the epicenter of luxury in the eighteenth century.

The Glam Pad adores opportunities to learn about interiors in this way, not just as beautiful rooms, but as history where daily life unfolded. Exhibitions like this offer a fascinating glimpse into how people lived, entertained, and moved through their homes centuries ago. A Day in the Eighteenth Century: Chronicle of a Parisian Townhouse is on view now through July 5, 2026.

GreenRow Opens Its First Store

There is a cheerful new arrival in New York City! GreenRow, the colorful home brand from Williams-Sonoma has opened its first brick-and-mortar shop, bringing the brand’s fresh and optimistic approach to interiors into a real-life setting.

The new space has been designed to feel more like a home than a traditional showroom, inviting visitors to slow down and wander through rooms that truly show GreenRow’s signature mix of joyful color, traditional forms, and thoughtfully crafted pieces. The full assortment is on display, including furniture, lighting, bedding, rugs, and tabletop, alongside original artwork and a small selection of vintage and found pieces.

What we particularly appreciate is the brand’s focus on responsible design. From FSC-certified wood furniture to upholstery made from natural materials, the collection centers on pieces designed to last and age beautifully over time. We love a good patina! It is a thoughtful approach that balances craftsmanship, timeless style, and comfort. To celebrate the opening, GreenRow hosted a grand opening weekend, with a portion of proceeds benefiting the New York Botanical Garden. If you happen to be strolling through SoHo, it is certainly worth popping in for a look, or shop online here.

Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles’ 2026 Southeastern Designer Showhouse

Spring showhouse season is upon us, and one event we always enjoy following is the Southeastern Designer Showhouse presented by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles. Now in its eleventh year, the annual event returns April 16th through May 10th in Atlanta’s Chastain Park area, bringing together top designers from across the Southeast while supporting an important cause.

The newly built residence, designed by Hask Custom Homes in collaboration with architect Linda MacArthur and interior specification designer Claudia Stimmell, embraces a refined European transitional style which we love. Spanning roughly 8,000 square feet, the home pairs classic architectural details such as a brick façade, limestone accents, and a charcoal slate roof with interiors that feature curved plaster walls, herringbone wood floors, and richly layered  materials.

Nineteen designers have each taken on a space within the home, including rooms by Suzanne Kasler and Matthew Quinn, creating a incredible mix of interiors to explore. Visitors can tour the home throughout the run of the showhouse and enjoy a lively schedule of events, including designer panels, gardening classes, and floral arranging workshops. This year’s showhouse benefits Solidarity Sandy Springs, a local food pantry for families and individuals in the community. Tickets can be purchased here!

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 Dôen’s new Madison Avenue store, Rizzoli’s Biltmore House, and the Design Emporium Collective on Fifth. Written by Natalie Aldridge.

Biltmore House: The Interiors and Collections of George W. Vanderbilt

There are few homes in America as storied as Biltmore Estate, the monumental Gilded Age château built by George Washington Vanderbilt II in the mountains of North Carolina. Now a new book, Biltmore House: The Interiors and Collections of George W. Vanderbilt, offers a fresh look inside the legendary residence and the extraordinary collections that have defined it for more than a century.

Designed by Richard Morris Hunt and surrounded by landscapes created by Frederick Law Olmsted, Biltmore remains the largest privately owned house in the United States and one of the most remarkable expressions of Gilded Age ambition. At the center of it all is a 250-room French Renaissance–inspired château filled with art, tapestries, rare books, and decorative objects Vanderbilt collected during his travels through Europe.

This new book, written by Darren Poupore and Laura C. Jenkins with photography by William Abranowicz, invites readers beyond the grand spaces we all recognize and into the more intimate corners of the house. The Banquet Hall, Winter Garden, Tapestry Gallery, and Library all make an appearance, alongside rooms that reveal how the house actually functioned as a home.

What makes the book especially exciting is that it is the first major publication on Biltmore in more than three decades. With new photography and stories, it gives a closer look at the vision that made the estate one of the most fascinating houses in America.

For anyone who loves historic interiors, remarkable collections, or simply the romance of a truly grand home, this is the kind of book that invites you to settle in and linger for a while.

Dôen Opens on Madison Avenue

A new boutique has arrived on Madison Avenue just in time for spring! Dôen, the beloved California label known for its romantic and vintage-inspired silhouettes, has opened its newest storefront uptown, bringing a touch of breezy West Coast ease to one of New York’s most storied streets.

Founded by sisters Margaret and Katherine Kleveland, Dôen has built a devoted following around pieces that feel nostalgic and effortless. Floaty dresses, delicate florals, and softly structured separates have become signatures of the brand, making for pieces that feel almost like you could have inherited in them.

The Madison Avenue boutique reflects that same sensibility. Designed by Nickey Kehoe, the space feels warm and inviting rather than overly polished, encouraging visitors wander and discover slowly. With its layered textures, thoughtful details, and relaxed atmosphere, the shop feels more like a beautifully considered home than a traditional retail space.

The opening also feels particularly well timed for the season ahead. As New York begins to shake off winter and welcome longer, brighter days, I am pining of a an airy Dôen dress. Be certain to check out the new shop, either in person or online!

The Design Emporium Collective on Fifth

London’s Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour has unveiled an exciting new destination for design discovery: the Design Emporium Collective on Fifth. Located on the fifth floor of Design Centre East, the space brings together a curated mix of international makers and brands under one roof, creating a vibrant hub for designers, architects, and collectors alike.

Nineteen design brands each occupy their own dedicated space within the emporium, creating an environment that feels part showroom, part treasure trove. From beautifully crafted furniture and lighting to textiles and decorative objects, the collective celebrates craftsmanship and originality while creating a dynamic place to discover pieces you simply won’t find anywhere else.

Among the names featured are Boura & White, Gaze Burvill, Kathryn M. Ireland, The Soho Lighting Co., and Unnatural Flooring, alongside the Design Centre’s Source service showcasing an impressive selection of china and glass. For those who love wandering through beautifully curated interiors and discovering new design treasures along the way, it promises exactly the sort of inspiring experience we adore. And as an interior designer, I cannot wait to explore these new resources! If you find yourself in London, be certain to check it out.

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.
