Aerin Lauder's master bedroom in her Wainscott, NY (that's a tiny hamlet in the town of East Hampton for you n00bs) with gorgeous Michael Devine fabric on the walls and bedskirt. Love the contemporary slipper chairs by the fireplace mixed in with those gorgeous Heppelwhite chairs flanking the antique dresser. And those fabulous draperies! Brown and creamy white is so chic.

Country, and 90s, and fabulous in a sprawling, white clapboard, waterfront  estate on the north shore of Long Island. I don't know who the designer is, because this photo is from a real estate listing, but I'd put some very solid money on Anthony Baratta.

Reading room? Sun room? Den? Casual office? Whatever we're calling it, this is a very cute, tropical, cozy space with a fabulous mix of prints - and you know I'm not usually a red person - by Scott Snyder in Palm Beach.

Who’s got two thumbs and a ticket to go see Gil Shafer lecture at the Boston Athenaeum in two weeks?! This gal! (I’m pointing at myself with my thumbs, btw).

Pure green de Gournay goodness. Call me crazy, and I'm sure you do already, but I am diggin' those crazy yellow draperies with the green pompoms and tassel tie-backs.

This does not suck.

Anthony P. Browne decorated the living room of an 1815 house in Washington, D.C. from the Feb. '93 Architectural Digest — so 90s, and guess what, I love it, so suck it.

I love how this Nantucket kitchen is rustic and airy, yet efficient and tailored at the same time. Beach house kitchens can veer towards oversized and kitschy, however this guys is both appropriate to its surroundings and well scaled.

I am still just trying to process this totally bonkers Upper East Side duplex foyer. The moulding, the arches, the enfilade, the tulipiere that is probably as tall as I am, and a crazy inlaid marble star. Like, what?
