Make friends with Katherine Bernhardt. If you're lucky she will have you over for tea, and show you her amazing picture book collection of African Interiors. And YES, she really does have a giant Swatch watch clock in her bedroom :)

The Gods Must Be Crazy - Steve Keister and Jill Levine's place

Stopped by Jill and Steve's apt. last week. It's a mecca of treasures.....ceramics, textiles, plants, paintings, and sculpture. I'm a huge fan, so I'll keep it short:

The River Room

Nope, I've never been there, and I've never met them. But that's no matter. Here's a little piece of Tivoli for all of us to enjoy. A room in Helen and Brice Marden's summer house.

Mary Fedden's living room

Come to my studio and I will put some books in your lap - one of them is of the artist Mary Fedden. I love her work. Best part, she's still ALIVE. Not to mention David Hockney was a former pupil.
