“It always strikes (and delights) me how much decorating is like writing. You take a blank, empty space (or house or room or page) and create an entire universe in it—a story, a history, a look, a feel, a mood. You fill it with beautiful things you love, you design it just the way you want. You breathe life into it, and it comes alive; it has a soul either by the time you decorate it or create it in a book, and it becomes real. I love designing and decorating. So far I’ve only decorated 19th-century (and turn-of-the-century) houses, and never a modern one. I love the challenge, charm, and legends of old houses, the aura of the people who once lived there, whether in a book or a…

The Invitation “An old-fashioned Western Union telegram that says, ‘Please join me for the meal of a lifetime. Come to the Stork Club at 3 East 53rd Street. Tuesday at 8 P.M. Ken.’ ” The Decor “Frances Elkins dining chairs covered in Scalamandré’s Le Tigre silk velvet around a classic Stork Club banquette. The skirted table would be covered in a Pierre Frey Tourmaline silk velvet trimmed in multihued bullion fringe. The tableware would be from Richard Ginori’s Oriente Italiano collection in Malachite, with monogrammed napkins from Leontine Linens and engraved Buccellati flatware. To top it off, there would be a pair of vintage silver candlesticks with extra-long pink tapers. Animal-shaped place-card holders complete the scene.” Icebreaker “The simplest but always intriguing question, What was your best kiss ever?” Centerpiece…

IT WAS AN AGE OF DECADENCE AND GLAMOUR, OF pasta primavera, black-tie sea scallops laced with truffles, and restaurants that served weightless mountains of cotton candy that echoed ladies’ hairstyles of the day. When ELLE DECOR was launched 30 years ago, lunch was the main event. New York’s Le Cirque, where I was chef from 1986 to 1992, was the place to be and be seen. You’d have Andy Warhol sitting next to Jackie Onassis, who came for the nine-herb ravioli, sitting next to Betsy Bloomingdale and Barbara Walters holding court at her table. Back then, everyone dressed up for lunch—and they didn’t just take pictures of their food, they really ate it. Dessert was obligatory and often a showstopper, both in taste and appearance. The most iconic example was…

IT ALL STARTED WITH AN ANTIQUE CLOCK and a trip to New York’s Hudson Valley to get it repaired. What followed was an unplanned detour. And there it was: an 1850s Italianate house, built from a design by Richard Upjohn, the British-born 19th-century architect who brought the Gothic Revival style to America, with a magnificent view straight through the front door to the Hudson River. As they toured the property, the future homeowner, a descendant of William Randolph Hearst, and her husband learned that the house was in terrible disrepair. Over its century and a half of existence, it had been added onto, sustained a major fire, and been stripped of most of its original detail. “And then all of a sudden they were buying a burned-out, gutted house on…

Each month, ELLE DECOR asks an artisan to create a unique item for us. At the end of the year, these pieces will be auctioned off to benefit the charity of each maker’s choice. Fresh blooms speak to new life, heralding a season of growth—so what better way to celebrate elle decor’s 30th anniversary than with a one-of-a-kind floral headdress created for the occasion by ED A-Lister Ken Fulk? The San Francisco–based designer—who is as well known for his richly layered interiors as for his decadently raucous parties—took inspiration from the unforgettable headpiece of orchids, lilies, pearls, and silver spikes that Elizabeth Taylor wore in 1967 to a Venetian masked ball. Though it looks real, this budding beauty is woven of silk flowers and jeweled accents, so you can wear…

FOUR HUNGRY FRIENDS SHOW UP UNEXPECTEDLY AT YOUR home. What’s a host or hostess to do? If you are the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner and The View moderator Whoopi Goldberg, you create an eclectic and whimsical table and serve them lunch. In her new book, The Unqualified Hostess: I Do It My Way, So You Can Too (Rizzoli), Goldberg outlines her relaxed hosting philosophy, which she sums up as “Well, if Whoopi can do this, so can I.” Her passion for entertaining began as a child, when she and her brother, Clyde, helped their mother set the table. She advises her readers to do as she does and raid their stash of plates, glassware, and other table accoutrements to concoct a joyful assemblage. Goldberg draws on a vast…

SOMETIMES IT TAKES TIME TO FIND WHERE YOUR HEART should be. Just ask Savannah, Georgia, restaurateur John O. “Johno” Morisano and his wife, Carol A. Sawdye. In 2010, the New York couple took a road trip through the American South. When they arrived in Savannah, they fell so hard for the historic port city, with its grid of formal squares and centenary live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, that they bought a house and began to split their time between there and Manhattan. Four years later, Johno and Mashama Bailey, the sous-chef of the highly regarded restaurant Prune in New York’s East Village, opened the Grey, an award-winning Southern brasserie set in the town’s long-abandoned Art Deco–era Greyhound bus depot. The Grey hit big, and not only with locals—the New…

Now Showing FOR THE SEASONED PRODUCTION DESIGNER DONAL Woods, turning the TV series Downton Abbey into a feature film (opening September 20) meant preserving the polished look of the show while making it “even grander.” While the sets have been mothballed for six years, the real Jacobethan estate where Downton was filmed—Highclere Castle—is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Hampshire, England. “They used to get 100 visitors a weekend,” Woods says. “Now they get 4,000 a day.” Woods and his team tossed out the tourists and moved back in, dusting off the furniture, adding new bedding and plaster, draping walls in silk damask, and building a silver room, wine cellar, and butler’s cottage from the ground up. But these additions to Downton hardly mean that the Crawley family is…

IN 1989, MITCHELL GOLD AND BOB WILLIAMS founded their eponymous furniture firm in Taylorsville, North Carolina, with the vision of delivering livable, contemporary style with a lead time that was a fraction of the industry norm—a few weeks instead of a few months. The pair rapidly grew their boutique operation into one of the most respected home-furnishings manufacturers in the country, producing everything from sofas to tables to lighting. Along the way, Gold and Williams championed sustainability long before it was in vogue and pushed to demolish dated ideas about families with attention-grabbing ads featuring same-sex parents and an openly gay former high-school football player. Today, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams continues to set the bar for everyday American style. ELLE DECOR recently caught up with the founders for an…

YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR house just like you take care of yourself: Keep it fit and in good spirits. Part of my obligation as a decorator is to make people feel at home. You design a place for living in, not for a photo shoot. I’m always thinking about the furniture arrangements and proper lighting. Everything that goes into the design has to be comfortable and welcoming. I grew up in Virginia, in Albemarle County. We lived on the same street as my cousins, and everyone entertained at home. When I was little, I would get excited about going to Aunt Berta’s for Sunday lunch or to my godmother’s for a party. That was one of the reasons I wanted to be a decorator: to work on…

HE DESIGNED TOMMY HILFIGER’S SHAGADELIC ‘60S pad in Miami, Cher’s Buddhist-behaving-badly retreat in L.A., and Kylie Jenner’s playpen in Hidden Hills. But for his latest decorating coup, a Moroccan-meets-midcentury oasis in West Hollywood, Martyn Lawrence Bullard had only himself to please. The house, the ED A-Lister says, “is all me.” Perched on a hill above the Chateau Marmont, the 1923 Spanish villa has a Hollywood history as impressive as Bullard’s two other homes—the Villa Swanson, built for Rudolph Valentino in Los Angeles, and a Palm Springs hideaway once decked out by Roger Moore in James Bond style. Bullard’s newest residence has an equally storied past. Ike and Tina Turner once harmonized in its entryway, and in the 1960s its then-owners, young marrieds Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward, entertained a bohemian…

IF YOU’VE EVER LUSTED AFTER A LOUIS Vuitton handbag while walking down Manhattan’s 57th Street, eyed a pair of Chanel pumps in Tokyo’s Ginza, or feasted your eyes on a Dior dress in a store window on Paris’s Avenue Montaigne, you probably have Peter Marino to thank. Among his many projects, Marino is responsible for devising the physical look for many of the world’s most exclusive luxury brands. His decadent, glowing glass-and-steel fashion towers often seem straight out of Blade Runner. There’s no doubt that his “starchitecture” has a halo effect on the goods inside. But at his magnificent estate in tony Southampton, New York, you won’t find anything under glass. Here, bleached-oak bookcases, together with flocks of Lalanne sheep, make for a decidedly traditional—and definitely glamorous—affair. At center stage…
