HIRE A DESIGNER - REASON # 23
Here’s a really good reason to hire a professional interior designer (trained), as opposed to depending on a good eye and years of design experience (me.) We finally bought one of my favorite tables of all time, the iconic Saarinen marble table from Smink. It was to take the place of a 42-inch ugly wood pedestal table with a bulbous base that we inherited from grandparents. I ordered the same size thinking it fit the space perfectly. Somehow, the scale is all wrong now, the delicate base and whip thin marble top could easily be six inches larger. My husband thinks I’m an idiot, but I convinced him that with the right chairs it will look just perfect. Chairs, anyone?
BON APPET-EATZI’S
I just had a wonderful meal delivered to me by Lisa Cramer Morgan, catering manager of Eatzi’s. The baked chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the salads and vegetables were farm fresh. I had sort of gotten over Eatzi’s last year due to sad produce and salads swimming in oil, but, it’s all new again. Phil Romano bought it back, brought in my friend Leslie Murphy as customer relations, and the place is hopping again–great produce, better service, and more specialty items. Look for expanded outdoor seating, a hot dog stand, and a car wash. I’ll see you at Eatzi’s tomorrow.
