One of my very first friends in NYC was a distinctive, sometimes kinda normal, but often offbeat guy named Jeff Fazio.  Jeff was affable, fun, carefree and seemingly “knew everyone” after a decade of working in a variety of upscale designed focus retail stores.

At the time of this project, Jeff was a buyer at Barney’s, working directly with the remarkable Phyllis Pressman – creator and curator of the Chelsea Passage department at the ORIGINAL Barney’s on 17th Street & Seventh Avenue; it was another era…

A well educated, active and very fun guy, with broad interests asked me to assist him with a makeover of his two bedroom apartment in a nice Art Deco building overlooking the Hudson River that had beautiful original steel casement windows and great Western views.

I worked with him to renovates the apartment to take better advantage of the views, integrated audio & video throughout, purchased new, vintage and antique furniture and assisted him with expanding his photography collection.  We also added a painting and some prints into the mix.

The apartment was featured in SHELTER (now called INTERIORS) including the cover!

I can report that the apartment had a glorious ten year run as the proverbial ‘bachelor pad’, but the owner is a bachelor no longer. He is now married and has two children living happily on the Upper West Side very near to Central Park.

Enjoy the weekend!

Familiar Old Friends on Shelter Island

I have had a long love affair with Shelter Island – a place that many people in New York have never heard of; a place some have heard of, but they aren’t sure where it is; a place some have driven through.  An even smaller number have been and stayed there!  It’s an island between the North and South Fork of Eastern Long Island where time, in many ways, has stood still; for me it is like the Midwest meets New England: It is a very special place.

While it is necessary to take a short ferry to get to the island from either Greenport or North Haven, there are treasures to be found.

I think it is worth the trip, and so apparently does HC&G!
