Wendy Goodman is a very busy author. She writes for the Home Design section of New York magazine and also found time to write the new book The World of Gloria Vanderbilt. It seems like a perfect pairing since design plays a big part in Gloria's life. As she says in the magazine, "decorating is autobiography" and it's fun to see her progression from patchwork quilts to dramatic glamour in her apartment. I can only imagine that the stories in the book are just as interesting!

The painting above the fireplace was painted by Gloria in 1953 but she paints the fireplace when the mood strikes her.

I love the mix of patterns and textures in this room vignette.
