Can I Paint My Walls White?

Don't worry -- I'll be taking this issue up with Sanders the Paint God very soon. But for now I'd like to know what you think: When is it ok to paint your walls white and when is it a bad idea? New House has fabulously high ceilings in the family room and big sexy windows, but it also faces North and is very shady.

Yves Klein Blue Is Baaaaack

In the most recent issue of Architectural Digest I spied not one but two Yves Klein pigment filled coffee tables...

After my long running love affair with all things YKB, I kind of thought the thrill was gone, but in the right context Yves Klein Blue still sings. I love the edge it brings to the warm and quirky apartment of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

But I'm not feeling it so much in Donny Deutsch's marble white mausoleum.

BIG ass week, y'all. Stay tuned for some serious news!
