Summer 2011 has officially come to an end.  This is something that usually would have me very upset…that is, until I came across these Alexander McQueen embroidered fingerless gloves.  GORGEOUS is the only word to describe them.  They are made of black knitted wool and embroidered with gold crystals, absolutely sure to turn heads.  Available [...]

As you can see, CamilleMaurice is getting a little bit of a facelift.  She was in need of a little bit of color and relevance, so if you look around, you will notice a nip and a tuck here and there.  While I’ve been working on this with the help of some of my more [...]

I’m back from a jam-packed weekend filled with surprise family visits and work around the house.  It’s funny how satisfying a day spent in the gardens can be, especially when it is followed by a glass of wine on the porch.  The time of year has arrived when the majority of weekends can be spent [...]

“Friday Beautiful Things” has returned with a new piece by Nella Vetrina, the visionary “fashion house for all living spaces.”  Once again, Steve Brister and Jason Campbell have used their Italian resources to come up with a striking and magnetic luxury piece that will add a mystery to your space.  The Morgana Chair is part [...]

On Tuesday, February 8, 2010 The M’s welcomed the birth of Baby M, a laid-back and perpetually hungry little guy who has us all completely smitten.  We are busy nesting and settling is as a family of four, and I will return to CamilleMaurice.com in some capacity in the next few days.

Hiring an interior designer for the first time can be a bit intimidating.  People will often have a general idea of how they want to feel when at home, but have trouble pinning down exactly how to create such an atmosphere.  The idea of trying to convey that to a professional can daunting.  Then, there [...]

Veronique Dalla Favera is a native of Beaunne, Burgundy, and the creator of the LivenLuLu figurines pictured above.  As the granddaughter of Burgundian wine grower Louis Jadot, Veronique’s first passion was gastronomy. This led her to open Galerie Verodalla, a gourmet restaurant. After becoming sick and fighting an internal battle against disappointment and grief, she [...]

I was reading through some past installments of the New York Times “Dear FloFab” and came across the following exchange from April 22: Q. Dear FloFab, What’s the proper procedure if somebody brings a bottle of wine to your dinner party? Is it rude not to open it? If you do open it, do you [...]

Maybe you’ve noticed that I haven’t been around much over the past couple of weeks.  Things have been a bit eventful, and as I mentioned on Facebook the other day, still waters run deep. Aside from that incredible 24-hours spent in New York two weeks ago, I’ve been working hard on our new mayor’s transition [...]
