This week’s finds are an assortment of trending design stories and items I have recently purchased – from Amazon, of all places. I hope you see something that interests you. One of my favorite home tours this week is a feature in the current issue of Veranda magazine on the restoration of Grey Gardens, the storied mansion featured in the controversial 1970s documentary staring Jacqueline Onassis’s aunt and first cousin, both named Edith Bouvier Beale. Fashion designer Liz Lange purchased Grey Gardens in 2017 and has embarked on a complete makeover of its interiors, with the help of interior designer Mark D. Sikes. The gardens have been redesigned as well, and they are absolutely stunning – links below.

One of the (many) great design books released this fall is aptly called More Beautiful and showcases the work of Los Angeles-based decorator Mark D. Sikes. Highly anticipated and well received, it continues the story of Sikes’ first book, Beautiful, published in 2016. With less text and more images to study, the book is a published catalogue of Sikes’ most recent and relevant projects. It was published by Rizzoli, with photography by Amy Neunsinger. Let’s have a peek!
