An Apartment at the Plaza

The Plaza hotel is as big a New York Icon as the Empire State Building. With 100+ years of history including scenes from The Great Gatsby set in the hotel, a six year home to iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright, guests such as Eloise, the Beatles and Kevin McAllister who got left Home Alone again, these walls can talk.

Recently, The Plaza went under a major renovation. You can still be a guest at the hotel, but many are choosing to call it home instead. Tommy Hilfiger and wife Dee have done just that. Check out the photos below from their spread in Harper's Bazaar.

Presidential Interiors

As I sit on my sofa, getting acquainted with the new cast of The Real Housewives of D.C., I began to wonder just what it would be like to get a glimpse of the White House interiors. I can't offer photos of the Michael Smith designed Obama private quarters, but I can offer photos of the George W. private quarters. How presidential!
