First Look at Creativity at Work

My book publication is definitely feeling bittersweet.  I'm grateful for all the lovely emails and comments this week and for my electricity.  I'm very excited that everyone is loving Creativity at Work.  If haven't received your copy yet, you can get a first look at The Cut at New York magazine here.  

I also want to remind you of my upcoming book signings.  Join interior designer and TV personality Tommy Smythe in conversation with me about all things chic and stylish as well as my new book on Thursday, November 8 at 7:00pm at Indigo Manulife Centre, 55 Bloor Street West,Toronto, Ontario, M4W 1A5, Canada. Signing to follow the talk. 

I will be signing books at the fabulous new store Hudson Grace at 3350 Sacramento Street, San Francisco, CA 94118, 415-440-7400, on Thursday, November 15th from 5:00-7:00pm.

Stop by the wonderful Chicago store Jayson Home, 1885 North Clybourn Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614, for a book signing with me on Thursday, November 29th. Time TBD.

Other cities will be posted once they are confirmed.  Los Angeles will probably take place in January 2013. 

Thanks!

Hearst Designer Visions: David Rockwell

You'd think I'd have gotten more posts up this week considering how much time I've spent at home because of the hurricane.  The truth is that it's hard to focus and pull away from the news coverage.  The city looks like something out of a movie and everyone outside seems dazed and confused.  Poor Staten Island looks like the aftermath of World War II and you really can't travel below 34th Street due to the lack of electricity. 

I was wondering after my first Hearst Designer Visions post if the building of the showhouse at 250 West Street in Tribeca sustained any damage due to its proximity to the Hudson River.  As I mentioned, you might have already seen David Rockwell's space in the November 2012 issue of House Beautiful.  David wasn't actually on site when I visited and since I'm still distracted, you can read an interview with him here and find all the sources here.  Don't forget that you can donate to the relief efforts for the entire East Coast at the Red Cross. It's going to take a while to recover but as we all know from previous experience, New York is resilient.
