Do you have any decorating advice for fellow NYC- dwellers?
"Stay away from big stores — buy vintage, buy art, buy handmade. NYC is full of great shopping, from little thrift stores to flea markets, antique stores, and ethnic neighborhoods. Each thing you buy should be special, not just art but really anything that can be hung is ideal. I started buying big planes and butterflies and hanging them from the ceiling — none of us have enough space in the city, but we do have walls and ceilings — make them beautiful, fill them up, change them around. They will make you happy if you are constantly looking at things you love that are unique to you and your taste."
