A Fabulous Day

In The West Village in NYC

video of our visit

My friend Carrie and I had a fun, spring day in the West Village,
wallking from shop to shop then popping in for an apertiveo then lunch and an afternoon perusing the iconic Future Perfect Home. If you don't know about this best kept design secret in New York City, it's a design lover's dream set in a historic townhouse in a bucolic row of homes open to the public by appointment only with temporary art exhibits by some of the most reknowned and talented artists in the world. This day lighting designer Lindsey Adelman's exhibit was on display. The lighting guru hailing from Brooklyn, showcased her sketches, illustrations, sculptures and art alongside her iconic lighting collections many nautical-inspired art pieces.

each floor of the townhouse offered up a cornucopia of varying artists and their sculptures, paintings, illustrations, decorative arts and furniture together in an environment that feels authentic and lived wtih.
