What a breathtaking visit! From the sheep to the water cascade to the Capability Brown landscape and bridge to the gilded urns atop the roof edge… Chatsworth does not disappoint!! And I haven’t even mentioned the exceptional interiors…

With summer just around the corner, I can’t resist posting one of the most elegant pool, pool pavilion, and setting in the country… designed by artist, visionary, and former antiques king, Richard Shapiro, for his Los Angeles abode. Enjoy every detail of this delicious creation.

As I pack for England, last years memories of London in the spring are fresh in my mind… specifically the visit to Hampton Court Palace. Enjoy! With more to come from my upcoming week to Chatsworth, Derbyshire.

Loving my town that celebrates for so many reasons, and in so many ways, I’m thrilled about a timely hospitality concept that has just opened in Newport, The Royce. Unlike traditional hotels, full-property bookings are prioritized within the two restored historic houses, where families and friends can come together for a long-weekend escape, an intimate wedding party, an international sailing regatta, a golden anniversary. To ensure that every stay is private, unhurried, and infused with comfort, The Royce offers a suite of elevated services, with staff, that can be arranged upon request, each tailored to the guests’ needs (to include private chefs, housekeeping, spa treatments, and concierge-style assistance). While The Royce’s spaces blend Newport’s rich heritage with contemporary luxury, its unmatched downtown location allows guests a short walk to the center of life in Newport –and yet you can return home in minutes to complete peace and privacy. This new jewel on the Newport hospitality scene will not be a well-kept secret for long so scoot over to the blog for booking details (link in bio).
