I recently returned from a trip to Paris. It was for work, so my cultural explorations were a bit limited, but I was able to do a fair amount of scouting of art galleries and independent shops and boutiques. Mom-and-pop stores are seemingly becoming more scarce here in the U.S., but I was quickly reminded of the benefits of shopping locally, wherever that might be, as well as the expertise that shopkeepers and clerks can offer in a way that can’t be found on the internet. This certainly isn’t breaking news, but it was a gentle reminder of the pleasures of exploring, and the joy of creating a new relationship with a vendor who knows your wishes and likes. One shopkeeper offered to drive me to her other store across…

SITUATED ON 74 ACRES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, the Green Gables estate—an Arts and Crafts masterpiece designed by architects Henry and Charles Greene—was built in 1911 as a summer escape for San Francisco’s prominent Fleishhacker family. Since then, it has hosted five generations of extended clan members, among them Julia Berger, the founder of Julia B., a purveyor of exquisitely monogrammed fine linens. “Green Gables was a big playground for me as a child,” recalls Berger, who traces her love affair with textiles back to the days she spent delving into the “cavernous” linen closet in the main house. There was even more to explore outdoors, from manicured gardens to shaded patios to a grand Roman reflecting pool. A consummate hostess, Berger—who recently relocated from Connecticut to Sonoma County—has now launched…

BARBARA CIRKVA SCHUMACHER’S FAVORITE THINGS barbara Cirkva Schumacher led a double life for years: As an executive for Chanel, she jetted from New York to Paris and beyond. Off-hours, she was the doyenne of Fleur, a garden-antiques shop in Mount Kisco, New York (with an outpost in the 1stdibs showroom in Manhattan). The store’s cast-iron benches, cement deer statues, and Murano chandeliers may seem a far cry from the bouclés, quilted leathers, and gold chains that are Chanel’s stock-intrade, but to Cirkva Schumacher, the trajectory was natural. “Both fashion and gardens are about constant change,” she says. They’re also both endlessly adaptable. Cirkva Schumacher deploys garden pieces as unexpectedly as she does clothes: a herd of stone deer in the dining room; a Chanel T-shirt with Rag & Bone jeans.…

COSSET YOUR BLOOMS Lavish attention on a delicate, showstopping spring flower worthy of center stage. The auricula, an alpine primrose, is prized by connoisseurs; writer Sacheverell Sitwell likened the flowers to Meissen porcelain or Isfahan silks. But as the late garden designer the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury wrote, the finicky, rainand sun-hating plants “need the dedicated attention of a lover.” Enter auricula theaters. The follies, like the one Lady Salisbury created for the New York Botanical Garden (above), were devised in the 18th century to shelter the plants while also showing them off. Try installing one on a north-facing wall, and you’ll have sweet flowers as fodder for centerpieces all season long. BLUE BLOOD, GREEN THUMB When Lady Salisbury created an auricula theater for the New York Botanical Garden in…

“IN THOSE BLINDS, YOU CAN FIND the microcosm of my whole career,” says Toronto-based designer Colette van den Thillart, referring to the shades covering her living room windows. “The fabric has such a place in my heart.” Called Shutter Stripe, the linen-cotton fabric was originally designed by iconic English decorator John Fowler (who named it Venetian Blind) and is now part of a textiles line she produces with London interior designer Nicky Haslam. Van den Thillart met Haslam, whom she calls her “best friend,” when her husband’s business took the couple to London, where she pursued a graduate degree in French and English decorative arts. While researching a paper on Fowler, she reached out to Haslam, who owns Fowler’s former hunting lodge. “We met, and it was just kismet,” she…

OH, THE IRONY. “This place is really sort of not decorated,” says decorator John Oetgen of his Atlanta apartment. It’s all relative. Oetgen, who concocts for his clients Instagram-worthy rooms that are utterly beautiful but entirely comfortable, may not have the same definition of decorated as the rest of us. But he is having his own kind of fun here, 24 stories above the city he calls home. He shares the place with his partner, John Lineweaver, a graphic designer and brand strategist, and their two dogs. The couple had been looking for something less grand and easier to maintain than their former home, a large contemporary house with 20-foot ceilings and gallerylike volumes. They found it in Atlanta’s leafy Buckhead neighborhood: a cozy apartment in a modernist tower built…

Spring’s arrival at Redwine Plantation can mean only one thing for Keith Robinson: The outdoor-entertaining season has begun. And how better to celebrate than with a garden dinner party? A maze of dwarf English boxwoods at the event designer’s estate near Atlanta furnishes the leafy backdrop. “You feel submerged in the lushness of the garden,” says Robinson, who keeps the boxwoods unmanicured to enhance their “undulating, cloud-like beauty.” Like nearly everything on the property, the maze has a rich history: Planted in 1837, it was designed by Belgian horticulturist Prosper Berckmans, who would later go on to found Fruitlands Nursery—now the home of Augusta National Golf Club. The tucked-away setting also allows Robinson to employ one of his favorite tricks. “Among my friends, I’m known for always adding an element…

Sub-Zero and Wolf salutes San Francisco architect David Armour and his team for winning the 2nd Place Transitional Award in the Sub-Zero and Wolf 2015–2016 Kitchen Design Contest. The Edwardian Row House was one of the more challenging projects David and architect Scott Schneider had taken on, with a narrow footprint that led them to turn the kitchen sideways. Their intimate attention to this client's lifestyle made the home a smashing success. Featured in this project are a Sub-Zero Pro 48 refrigerator, 24-inch undercounter wine preservation system, and a 60-inch Wolf dual fuel range, which have certainly met and exceeded the expectations of the family now living there.…
