One of the questions posed to me in the Style at Home interview was “If you could shadow any designer for a day who would it be?”
There are so many brilliant designers whose careers I have followed and whose work I have studied and admired. But I had to pick one and Victoria Hagan came to mind immediately. She is a NY based interior designer who has been in the biz 20+ years and has been published in just about every shelter magazine. She also penned a book “Victoria Hagan: Interior Portraits.”
I still have this September 2007 issue of Elle Decor (you know I’m a bit of a magazine hoarder) on my bookshelf in my home office. On the cover is the living room of a Hamptons home Hagan designed. I love the neutral backdrop with the shots of colour and that she used a hint of mint and chartreuse even though they don’t relate to anything else in the room. Love all of the textures, the wall panelling and the livable and relaxed vibe.
Things That Inspire
September 1, 2012Happy September! My favorite month…
The kitchen that you show is one of my favorite kitchens of all time – I love the layout, love the color palette, the light, the furniture, the style.
Hope you have a great weekend-

September 7, 2012I think I would follow Liz Caan, who actually lives in my town (so I’m sure I could stalk her down if I really wanted to, ha!). I love Victoria Hagen’s work, as well. Happy to have stumbled upon your blog!
