#TBT – Art & Antiques Magazine June 2008
This article in Art & Antiques focused on an apartment I shared with my wife and daughter in Greenwich Village, and the integration of an art and decorative arts collection in a family environment…
A Modern California Vision Turns 50
On a family vacation road trip in 1974 we drove our van down the Pacific Coast Highway – truly one of the most breathtaking routes in America – as it follows the Pacific Coastline.
We started at the northern border of California where housing and other buildings were scant, and as we got closer to San Francisco I started noticing hyper-cool 70’s buildings, house after house after of-the-moment house – and my adrenaline began rushing. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!
#TBT: NEW YORK Magazine 1992
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…

#TBT: SHELTER Magazine 2006
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!
