P.E. Guerin’s Greet Deco collection was inspired by a collaboration with interior designer Stuart Greet in the 1970s. The collection expanded to include a basin set made for film critic Gene Siskel. As the firm nears its 160th anniversary, the set has grown to include a full line of bath, door, and cabinetry hardware, all designed, sand-cast, and hand-finished in P.E. Guerin’s New York City foundry. While drawing from the Art Deco period, this collection has a wonderful graphic presence that speaks to today’s design.

ANTIQUES The European Fine Art Foundation’s annual antiques fair in Maastricht, the Netherlands, has long been a must for connoisseurs. This fall, the foundation—known as TEFAF—launches its inaugural fair on U.S. soil with a New York show replete with top-drawer finds, like a rare console by André Arbus and Vadim Androusov (above) and a cabinet of curiosities packed with objects from the 16th and 17th centuries (top).

London RESTAURANT Maroush Beauchamp Place has the most amazing Lebanese food, and it’s open late, so you can eat at two in the morning. I’ve been going there since I was 14! Get the fresh melon juice. 38 Beauchamp Pl.; maroush.com. SHOPS The books at Maison Assouline are so good that you walk in not wanting to buy anything and walk out carrying 20 tomes. 196A Piccadilly; assouline.com. • I’m crazy for the English teas at Fortnum & Mason—established in 1707—but its food hall is also spectacular. Sometimes I pick up cheese and crackers there for a light dinner. 181 Piccadilly; fortnumandmason.com. • I’m like a kid in a candy store at the Smythson flagship, where I’ve bought all my notebooks and diaries for years. I’m old-school—I’d much rather write…

KATE VALENTINE SPADE’S FAVORITE THINGS on her way to work as an assistant at Mademoiselle in the 1980s, Kate Valentine Spade looked around in the elevator. “Everyone was wearing black,” she says. Wanting to fit in, she followed suit and built a new wardrobe. “One day I was doing laundry, and all I saw was a pile of black. Black, black, black. I thought, What am I doing? This is so not me. And suddenly I was like, I’m gonna do my own thing.” The designer has been doing her own thing ever since, channeling offbeat touchstones— the characters Laura Petrie and Auntie Mame are her spirit animals—into happy, ladylike fashion. In the ’90s, she started the handbag company Kate Spade New York (with which she’s no longer affiliated— changing…

May Vervoordt ANTWERP At her home in Belgium—a 12th-century castle she restored with her husband, Axel—Vervoordt pulls produce from the estate’s beds, which she treats simply and brings to the table in a sublime expression of hospitality and love. “Cooking is very relaxing for me after a long day, but the nicest thing is to prepare something to share with friends and family.” Julia Reed NEW ORLEANS Reed has written volumes on the joys of the kitchen—a subject the Mississippi native takes very seriously. Her approach weds a healthy appreciation for the finer things in life (osetra and blini, anyone?) to a down-home yen for Southern delicacies like fried chicken and ham biscuits. “My last meal might be the phenomenal shellfish prepared a la plancha at La Trainera in Madrid.”…

American Bar A temple of luxe early Modernism, the 1908 Vienna watering hole by architect Adolf Loos has clean lines, mahogany coffers, onyx tiles, and green-and-white marble floors. Bemelmans Bar Picnicking rabbits and ice skating elephants deck the walls of this Art Deco institution in New York’s Carlyle Hotel, named for Madeline illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans, who painted the bar’s murals in the ’40s. Cocoanut Grove Built in 1921, the legendary Hollywood boîte—now demolished—was a tropical confection of papier-mâché palms and mechanical monkeys. It boasted devotees such as Carole Lombard, Gloria Swanson, and Joan Crawford. Blue Bar This space at Manhattan’s Algonquin Hotel opened in 1933—a soaring room with gilt columns and twirling glass chandeliers that served as a canteen for literary legends like Alexander Wolcott and Dorothy Parker.…

the boxwood garden at Redwine Plantation, the Georgia farm where event designer Keith Robinson lives, was designed in the 1850s by Prosper Berckmans. The noted horticulturist (known as the father of the peach) planted hedges in the shape of Masonic symbols like a Maltese cross; lore has it that General William Tecumseh Sherman, on his march to Atlanta, spared the farm after recognizing the totems of a fellow Mason. The garden has been lovingly restored by Robinson, who improved on its appeal by planting foxgloves in its borders: “They start blooming at the end of April and can flower all the way to the first frost.” Wide paths make it an ideal spot for entertaining. “It’s beautiful and dramatic,” he says. For a recent lunch, Robinson set up in the…

i am in the process of acquiring chickens and getting them set up in a coop. We’ll see if I actually follow through with it—I’m just one click away from placing the order (but I’ve been hesitating for weeks). As I hope many of you do, I treat my home as a retreat—an escape from the rigors of the nine-to-five grind. I use it as a place for quiet repose, to collect my thoughts and dream big dreams. While I love the idea of gathering fresh eggs and sauntering around with chicks, I’m not sure I’ve given full thought to the upkeep. It’s sort of like gardening—it has a certain romance, yet when hungry gophers swoop in for a nibble or root rot takes over from too much rain, it’s…

special section THE CURATED KITCHEN FROM THE MOMENT SHE SET FOOT in the kitchen of the 19th-century château, Mimi Thorisson knew she was home. “We weren’t looking for this kind of house, but I knew I had to renovate it,” says the Chinese-French writer, author, and host of a popular French cooking show. “It had such an energy—this was the place for us.” Three years before, Thorisson and her family had moved from Paris to a rented farmhouse in Médoc, near the Atlantic coast north of Bordeaux. Though the pastoral setting was a far cry from the former CNN journalist’s urban Hong Kong roots, life on the farm suited her. On her dreamy cooking blog, Manger, she chronicles the delights of the countryside’s bounty—abundant oysters, beautiful artichokes, crisp white asparagus—…

We often reserve showstoppers for the foyer, but with lighting, drama is just as effective in the kitchen, whether over an island, a bar, or a prep area. Small pendants hung in multiples have a big impact, and nothing says “welcome” like a major lantern that sets off the heart of the house. The options are positively mouthwatering.…

This autumn, forget about the chill factor. Our fall forecast: radiant, luminous, and dazzling days ahead. IT WAS, FOR A TIME, THE MOST GLAMOROUS CHICKEN COOP IN THE WORLD. Tucked off a lazy, leafy road a few miles from downtown Dallas, the stone-and-slate house where decorator Michelle Nussbaumer and her Swiss-born businessman husband, Bernard, have lived for more than 30 years at first appears a haven of symmetry and calm. Then you open the double front doors, and this gracious dwelling dissolves into a high-energy hub of color, pattern, and activity. Everywhere there are bonny pinks and reds, along with watery blues and lush greens. There is a bedroom with an orange ceiling that would put an Hermès box to shame. Then, whoosh. A trio of Great Danes scampers by.…

ELOISE GOLDSTEIN clearly recalls her first meeting a decade ago with the French decorator Jean-Louis Deniot. “He swooped in and immediately won me over,” she says. “We just connected at once.” She asked Deniot to design her Parisian pied-à-terre, and he rose to the challenge, delivering a soigné space with a cool palette of grays and creams, rooms filled with signed pieces by Gio Ponti, and a magnificent marble bathroom. Goldstein was thrilled with the results, as was Deniot, who included a photograph of the home’s living room in the 2014 coffee-table book devoted to his interiors. The Paris apartment left Goldstein, however, with something of a dilemma. Every time she returned to her primary residence in London—a 19th-century Belgravia townhouse she shares with her husband, Peter, a real estate…

The homeowners wanted to create a sense of history for the 1990s-era residence, with a foundation of tradition that did not feel traditional. NASHVILLE DRAWS TALENT with a knack for updating tradition with a fresh new beat, whether it’s Alison Krauss or Alabama Shakes. In Music City, creative riffs—like the adrenaline shot designer Suzanne Kasler gave this couple’s 1990s Georgianstyle home—seem to happen naturally. Forget brooding ancestral portraits, cabbage-rose florals, and heirloom tea caddies. “People are surprised when they walk in,” the wife says. “It doesn’t feel like your typical Southern home.” For the homeowners, who were college sweethearts at the University of Tennessee, purchasing this stately stone manor made sense. After more than a decade spent abroad in a succession of architecturally significant residences—like the 200-yearold Bermudian manse where…
