Cannot tell you what a treat it was to visit with Michael Smith about his New York renovation and his new role at Brunschwig & Fils. You can find the piece at archdigest.com here.

Love his suit and shoes and great to see you!!!
And what a treat to stop by and find a post after your
long absence. Your interview was great. Michael Smith
seems to have a great appreciation for the traditional
while he is keenly a man of the times.

I just knew you couldn't leave us forever!! You are greatly missed and hope that the summer with the guys is fantastic. Love those green tennis shoes. Mary
Hi Patricia, I just read the AD article–it is beautifully written: draws me in. I appreciate the focus on the historicity of B&F and the linking of current design to the masters of the past. Thanks. Mary (again)
Patricia-
So glad to see your message in my inbox this morning. I look forward to the AD piece and to more posts.
Have a great summer,
Pat
Missed you, Mrs. Blandings!
He is such a talent! And what I find most surprising, is that he doesn't appear to be the type of person who would actually live in his somwewhat formal, elegant apartment. He always exudes a kind of relaxed, L.A. cool desheveled vibe. But boy is he talented!
Enjoyed your Spaces article on the Kansas City home of Francois Bardonnet. I flipped through the magazine last night at Wal-mart and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw that wheat sheaf table in his living room. I had had my eye on that table at Parrin and Co for a long time and the day I went in to buy it she told me that it had just sold to an antique dealer from Boston who was furnishing a place in Kansas City! It looks fantastic among all of his antiques!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. BLANDINGS !!
Toad sent us over here to celebrate with you! Indeed, he put a note on his blog dedicated to you today. Hope you and Mr. Blandings and all who love you dearly will be whooping it up in celebration of YOU today!
Faithful follower and one who misses you so much,
-Flo
Have a great celebration.

Beautiful banner at your site as well, I am reminded of some wall paintings by the Mexican artist, Diego Rivera, such as this one http://EN.WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8BWNY4. You browse more murals of his at wahooart.com.
