The Urban Street of dreams Opens today!

























I am excited for the opening to the public of the first in the nation urban street of dreams! Working on this project for the Encore on the Park Unit 1603 for the last two and half months has been a pleasure! It was sooo much fun to be my own client and create whatever could be dreamed up! I hope that some of the photos above will whet your appetite and make you want to go. The terrace is amazing! The views are incredible and seating arrangements are surprising and unpredictable. I want to thank Madison Millinger handmade rugs for supporting the look with all of the vegetable died wool heirloom quality area rugs, Butters Gallery for all of the fabulous art work, Elements International for the incredible planters and plant life both inside and out. JD Madison for the unique, fine quality furniture that makes the unit sing! Bernadette Breu Experience for the antiques and one of a kind pieces that gives the penthouse soul. Lenny Gotter for the photography. Springbox Gallery for the sculptures that gives depth and diamension to the space. Froelick Gallery for the whimsical master bedroom peice over the landscape chest.The Whole 9 Yards for the incredible fabrics. The wonderful pillows and lighting from Manor Fine Wares and the extordinary linens from French Quarter . Cargo for so many unique and interesting touches ...the carved panels that make the den so fascinating and the birdcage that Quain Yin sits in as an introduction to the den and the Santo that is such a surprise in the corner by the daybed. LUX Lighting for the sparkle in the master bedroom. Benjamin Moore for Aura paint...the color that everyone is talking about! Janus Home for the outdoor modern furniture and Outdoor Kitchen World for loaning me the bar-b-q just like the one that Gweneth Paltrow owns! Constructavision for the custom wood peices that made the penthouse livable. Lotus Anitques for the Asian anituqes peices. Tad Williams for the gilded wall and mirror. So many people were so gracious to loan their wares and give of their time and services for this project ....I am forever grateful.

Toured all of the properties today. I must say that the art, furniture and staging was amazing. Great job to those teams! I think they really nailed the urban vision. "A++"

Parking, shuttle and show helpers - outstanding! Great job guys! "A++"

The actual properties themselves, wow. Construction, materials used, craftsmanship - seriously low end. I can't believe that a property listed at $2M would have Ikea-like cabinetry, laminate flooring and basic MDF 1x4 for trim. And master baths that are clearly built for two - with a non-private toilet?? Really?? Tell me I wasn't the only one who noticed the wire clothes racks in the closets! Ummm...$5.95 at Lowes. Builders - you get an "F". I will be very surprised if you sell these homes. Having a view and being located in the Pearl is not enough.
