The Varneys

This year I have been blessed to meet so many fabulous people on the Internet (you all) and in real life! One fabulous person I had the honor of meeting was Nicholas Varney. Nicholas is a jewelry designer from NYC and for those of you that know interior design he is also the son of the famed Carlton Varney (president of Dorothy Draper and Co.)! His pieces are beautiful and true works of art just like his father's decorating.

Aren't this flower earrings fantastic?

Nicholas has been featured in the top magazines and is full of talent and charisma!

If you live in a city with a store that carries any of his beauties I highly encourage you to treat yourself to the eye candy!

Also, for those of you that love traditional (and preppy) design you simply MUST check out Carlton Varney's book. If you loved In the Pink: Dorothy Draper you are sure to love Houses In My Heart. The cover is fantastic and it will look wonderful in any room of your home!

Carlton Varney is such an inspiration and in my opinion has helped decorate some of the best hotels in America. From my NYC home- The Waldorf Towers- to a Lilly lovers getaway- The Breakers- to a relaxing haven in West Virginia- The Greenbrier- he has been there! Like his sons jewelry his designs are always as fresh as they were the day he drew them up! Enjoy this lecture on change and do make sure to check out the jewels too!
