What’s your decorating style?

J + D: As designers and historians, we believe that cultivated space is the key to inspired living. In collaboration with our clients, Decorative Traces specializes in achieving highly personalized interiors with keen attention to detail and historical precedence. Central to our approach is mixing traditional and contemporary furnishings, then further refining space through curated selections of art, objects, vintage and antique items.

In short:

Curated; intentional; livable; sophisticated; modern; traditional; worldly; urbane

Flea market tips:

Go early in the morning, dress down (way down), and leave your husband at home so you can move faster.

Decorating style:

I just moved into a new apt and painted it all white! It's a bit of a departure for me, but I'm going for a neutral/natural materials thing with a touch of modern. I am very inspired by the new atelier AM book.

Favorite decorating trick:

Throw a Greek key trim on anything to dress it up--like store bought curtains.

Greenhouse on Atlantic in Brooklyn has beautiful linens and tabletop, and also love Holler & Squall on Atlantic for antique furniture. There's a glass-fronted bookcase in there now that I've been eyeing. And Aero in Manhattan, always.

Favorite restaurant:

Lucalis on Henry street and Frankies 457.

Go-to Hostess Gift

Alcohol is always good! I've been obsessed with negronis all summer so have been brining Dollin vermouth, it's the best!

3 things you can't live without?

Eggs for breakfast, striped linen fabric, and my many plates!

Current inspirations:

Vintage Alexander Calder jewelry, atelier AM, and the Pre-Raphaelites show at the Tate in London. Ive just seen some of the images on the website and it's so beautiful! I've got to get over there before it's over.
