Grange Hospitality Night: NYC

I was invited to create a vignette for Grange Furniture with their outdoor Conservatory Garden Collection.  I had just finished reading David McCullough's book The Greatest Journey- American's in Paris.  I asked a good friend Jane Bloodgood Abrams, an en plein artist, to borrow from a gallery one of her paintings and do a small study to replicate a Master copy.  Privet House in Greenwich loaned a fabulous assortment of european table ware.  Bea Schriver from Wilton loaned exquisite silk flower arrangements and Ralph Lauren's silk shawn from 2010 collection set off a chinoiserie fabric from Lee Jofa beautifully. This is my idea of a perfect afternoon.
