Instagram post 2186524884717664111_7641915 Got my game face on. Feeling calm and truly thankful for this thing called life. It’s been a seriously interesting and seriously challenging 2019 for myself. For many of us. But life’s biggest challenges are life’s biggest blessings incognito. That I now know. And as most of you all know by now, I suffered a serious head injury 6 months ago and life took a real turn. Not a turn for the worst as sayings go. Just a turn. Life is about pivoting. Today, I write this having woken up feeling like the “pre head injury” version of myself for the first time. Or perhaps it’s better to describe how I feel as I think I’ve changed into a new version of myself. I feel calmer and more focused than ever before. I feel grateful to simply be alive, thankful for my beautiful family and friends that have stood by me, and to all my doctors and therapists who never let me quit and who have led me day by day to better health. It takes me hours each day to make sure I am getting better. And I truly am. It’s not over, and I’m not 100% quite yet, but I got this. And yes, that’s a box of tissues behind my head. I’ve gone through a LOT of tissues this year so that feels appropriate. So watch out 2020 because this woman is ready to take it all on! #gamechanger #watchthisspace #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #handmadeisbestmade #craftsmanship
Instagram post 2182131894649746290_7641915 Raise your hand if you’re a jewelry lover like me! Handcrafted, exquisite, one of a kind pieces are my jam. So, today we have a little #tbt to the other week when I went to jewelry heaven. It exists on the upper east side in NYC and it’s visionary and incredibly knowledgeable owner @brionyraymondnewyork has a collection of some of the most uniquely collectible and covetable pieces of jewelry I’ve ever seen! So well curated which I believe is the key. Don’t you? No need to overwhelm people when you’re selected the best of the best. Check out my stories for more on this experience. You can also swipe though the images to listen to Briony tell me all about this stunning bracelet from the 1950s France that I am “modeling”. J’adore! Can’t stop thinking about it! #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #handmadebracelet #artisanmade #craftsmanshipmatters
Instagram post 2180042781066991169_7641915 This is my bathtub. Almost one year ago to the day, I had driven out from the city to our place in “out East” to watch the install of this gorgeous piece of marble into our master bathroom. It was a tight squeeze requiring our friend and contractor Tom @thirdwayconstruction and his stone specialist crew to carefully navigate the newly built walls and floors. Not to mention this bathtub. I mean, it’s a slice of heaven. Cozy, deep and in this magical nook. This soaking tub was a total find which I credit entirely to my husband who diligently scoured the planet for a real claw foot tub that would fit in this space. Then we had the idea that it could be painted the perfect shade of charcoal and all would be right with the world. One extra shout out to @britvic74 for knowing exactly who to call to find us marble this stunning after I shared my mood board image with her! The image had marble that wasn’t as beautiful as this! And to @fameluxurystone for having this piece of art from the earth because she has the best of the best. So yes, it’s perfect. And yes, everything truly feels right especially when you take a bath one year later after spending the morning sketching your next home reno project! Yup. We are at it again. We are clearly not the sanest of people but I think we thrive on it. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #thisoldhouse #gutrenovation
Instagram post 2174826015768307673_7641915 Happy Monday to you! I’d like to invite you to read my #interiordialogue interview with this extraordinary porcelain artist. When you think ‘porcelain,’ you probably think tea cups and china. But ceramic artist Katherine Morling has thrown all of that out the window with her totally amazing porcelain sculptures . They depict inanimate objects that are given new life through drawn lines and beautiful surfaces. The London-based artist has been working on her “three-dimensional drawings” for over ten years now, perfecting this totally unique art of bringing drawings to life. And prefect it is just what she has done! I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I first came across these pieces at Bergdorfs in NYC. I seriously stood there what must have been 15 minutes just transfixed by her work. for So graphic, so detailed and so striking! They truly encapsulate the feeling of a worn in measuring tape, or a beat up boom box. Her style is very unique, always using a black line drawing to detail the flat white porcelain surfaces to really make the pieces so eye catching. I had to know more, so I reached out to her directly. Lucky for me, she agreed to do an interview with us so I was able to ask Katherine a few questions about her process and inspiration when it comes to working with clay. Read all about it by clicking that link in the bio! 🔝It takes you to my very own website interiormonologue.com where so many articles like this exist. So much more coming there very soon! #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #ceramicart #womenartist #womenartisans #craftsmanship #artisanmade
Instagram post 2157612384056089815_7641915 Simply put, I want to be transported back here right now. How I wish I could be taking a dip in one of the largest swimming pools in the world while overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. This magical place is called the Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club and it is a private membership club, situated atop Butterfly Beach at The Biltmore in Santa Barbara. This legendary landmark was built in 1937 and has a history steeped in the glory of Hollywood. I swear the entire time I was there I felt like Esther Williams! You couldn’t get me out of the pool. For days. So yes this property is magical. It also happens to have stunning architecture and one of the dreamiest, chicest swimming pools on earth. Did I mention it’s a salt water pool? Oh it was such perfection. Gah! I want to go back. Is it the best on earth? Maybe. Can I kindly ask you all to prove it to me otherwise in the comments below because I would love to know where else I can swim like this! #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #interiorinspo #californiadreaming
Instagram post 2150224029706238690_7641915 My dining room. This chandelier. We bought this forever and a decade ago at @abccarpetandhome and it cost us a months rent. It was one of my first adult purchases. We went for it rather impulsively at the time because we loved it. All handmade in Italy and worth every penny. It’s been in our dining room on the UES in NYC, an apartment in Munich, over our bed in London, in our rental in TriBeCa, and now it resides in the Hamptons over our dining room table. It’s these life purchases I believe we all search for. When you find it, it stays with you forever. Isn’t that the best investment? #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #interiorinspo #handmadeisbestmade #craftsmanship #artisans
Instagram post 2141084083263151742_7641915 Looking fine NYC. I’ll never tire of your city lights sparkling with the backdrop of a twilight sky. There are some fantastic details about you that etch themselves into memory. I always look out this window before I close my eyes at night and I can see the city in my dreams. Good night my friends. Sleep tight. 🖤 #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #ilovenyc #cityliving #brightlightsbigcity
Instagram post 2138583438899751403_7641915 ⚡️A “typical of Tanya” long story alert ⚡️ Things are looking up! Anyone else excited for all things autumnal? It’s officially the last day of summer, and it always makes me reflective. I just realized while writing this that I’m posting a photo of myself taken in a mirror. Ha! Anyway. This pic was taken at the Hamptons @holidayhousedesigns this summer. The reason I’m feeling particularly reflective today as we close out summer is remembering that when I snapped this photo, I was feeling scared. The ringing in my head was incessant, I had chronic migraines and dizziness. My appetite was nonexistent and yet because it had been months of feeling like this, I also couldn’t exercise to release stress as I was used to and I so missed my morning meditative exercise with @tracyandersonmethod. My mood and my spirit felt dampened. Working on Interior Monologue and trying to build out the next phase was on hold because of all of this. Even attending this Holiday House felt bittersweet. You see, I wasn’t able to participate in this one despite planning to do so because of my #postconcussionsyndrome. I had to withdraw from doing the ideas I had dreamed up after I planned to use my participation in last Fall’s house as a springboard to my next adventure. I love what I do and I wanted to be able to do it again... to feel better enough to do it again. So as I look forward into this new season, I feel better. A lot better. It’s going to be a great Autumn 🍂 for so many reasons. There is always a silver lining even in the darkest of times that eventually reveals itself. Today I look at this photo and I feel hopeful and happy. And I feel healthier. Wishing you all much happiness and good health this new season. ✍️ Tell me what you’re looking forward to this autumn below! I’d love to know. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue nologue #interiorinspo #handmadeisbestmade #craftsmanship
Instagram post 2136406838309297101_7641915 Let’s get personal! I use this platform to tell the story of makers and craftspeople I obsess over. Today I felt like talking a about something else. So. Here’s a little story about ME for you! I’ve been loving my newly found, self-prescribed “back to wellness” program of flower arranging. You might you might not know this about me, but I have been an accidental florist (as one might call it) quite a few times in my career. And now after my accident, it is particularly healing. As a creative director in branding and marketing for many years, sometimes the budget didn’t allow for the florist I envisioned for the project. For example, let’s say I was working on a major brand’s press event dinner for a new product launch the night before we went public with the profit to the trade and consumer. Budgets for the florals for that dinner were right given everything else I had drummed up for the event and launch. But we needed this dinner event to look stunning! What was my solution? Head to the local flower market, grab whatever was in season and do it myself with my team. It was a blast, let off a lot of steam since I was usually in the throes of launching a massive project for my client, and it would turned out as I envisioned! Best part, it usually saved my client some big $. Win, win! Fun, fun! #myinteriormonologue #craftsmanship #interiorinspo #interiormonologue #postconcussionsyndrome
Instagram post 2132945852780869187_7641915 Each day, Claire Basler creates huge floral arrangements and places them around her house. By house, I mean chateau. Chateau de Beauvoir to be precise. She uses these arrangements from her garden as sources of inspiration for her large scale paintings. By doing so, she literally has inspiration wherever she turns. A carefully considered, blurred line between the inside and the out. Claire has painted huge murals inside many of her chateau’s rooms where she then places in front of these murals even more flowers. I’m not kidding, it’s like a garden you can live in. Her kitchen literally has a living tree inside of it and I can’t say that I have ever seen anything like this! I wrote a whole feature on this magnificent woman and I’d love for you to read all about her and see her magnificent work. For your added convenience, I’ve placed a link in the bio! 🔝She’s amazing. 🔝 Let’s support these talents! PLEASE. I do this all out of love. Spread the word, share my page, tag talents with #interiormonologue, sign up for my newsletter. I thank you in advance for all of your support! #myinteriormonologue #interiormonologue #artisans #craftsmanship #womenwhopaint
Instagram post 2129827510305492323_7641915 I couldn’t love old barns more than I do. Throw in the perfect darkened patina on the wood and I’m all yours. This spectacular barn is located on Shelter Island which happens to be one of my favourite places. There’s something about that island that has always captures a little piece of my heart every time I visit. Thankfully it’s located just a short ferry ride away from our magical town of Sag Harbor. What makes this barn even more special is the fact that it is now part of the Shelter Island Historical Society and there is a fantastic farmers market there every Saturday morning. You can thank me later or just pick me up a bunch of fresh heirloom tomatoes! #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #hamptonsstyle #hamptonslife #thisoldhouse #shelterisland
