WAG WHERE ARE THEY NOW

A brand with heart

by

WAG revisits KD Spain, the Bridgeport-based lifestyle brand of fabric designer Kate Spain and her husband, Pete, who handles the business side of the company. The duo catches us up on their side-by-side work, including details of the new rug collection, eye heart hand, which focuses on sustainable production and was recently installed in public spaces at the Delamar Greenwich Harbor.

Treasuring life

by

“…Though we offer high-end auctions,” says Katie Banser-Whittle, regional director of Skinner Auctioneers & Appraisers, which has a new office in White Plains, “we also consider things in all price points that people don’t have an outlet for.”

Boldly onward

by

True creative, Ridgefield jewelry designer Amy Kahn Russell – introduced to WAG readers in December 2017 – integrates her “hobby,” designing intricate mosaic work including wall art and mirrors, into her lineup.

A time of transition

by

Hudson Valley artist and independent curator Carla Goldberg is in the midst of transitions – a new home, a new studio and a new exhibition that recaps her past 10 years of work.

Shade savvy

by

The awning business wasn’t necessarily part of Greg Sahagian’s plan. Now, after more than 30 years in the business, he runs one of the premier awning businesses in the region with multiple family members.

Ya gotta have heart

by

WAG first met Kerri Rosenthal a couple of years ago when she was working with a Weston-based interior design firm. Today, the longtime artist and interior designer is on her own with a stunning Westport design studio/showroom that offers a glimpse into her heart-filled world.

Staging more success

by

WAG profiled Geoffrey Walsky in January 2017, focusing on his design work through both the Fairfield Co. Antique & Design Center in Norwalk and his own, in-house Iconic Modern Home. Since then, his business has taken off, particularly in the field of luxury home staging.

Burkelman on the Bowery

by

Kevin Burke and David Kimelman’s Burkelman empire expands with a second brick-and-mortar location. A stylish home goods shop on the Bowery in Manhattan joins the Hudson Valley original, which continues in Cold Spring.

A charmer on the Hudson

by

When we first met Andy Todd – president of the Greystone on Hudson luxury residential development in Tarrytown – in the late fall of 2016, he toured us around the more than 100-acre site, which opens onto pastoral Taxter Ridge Preserve. Among the houses he had in the works at that time was a charming Dutch Colonial Revival manse – with the characteristic gambrel roof and curved eaves; a turret; and a wrap-around porch – all of which made it at once cozy and commanding.

Still entertaining

by

Mark Kramer, the man behind Susan Lawrence in Chappaqua, shared holiday entertaining ideas with us in 2011. Today, he’s launched a new Susan Lawrence website and expanded its menus, draws on his own Putnam County garden for ingredients and is working on a cookbook. All the while, he’s also feeding his passion for classical music.
