Design authority Wendy Moonan takes the reader on a tour of some of New York City's finest residential rooms--past and present.
The selection of interiors is about the "wow" factor--New York residential spaces that elicit gasps of pleasure and surprise when first seen. Some are very grand, others sparingly modern or eclectic. All are exceptional and, Moonan promises, unforgettable. Groundbreaking rooms include Brooke Astor's elegant library by Albert Hadley; Gloria Vanderbilt's sublime patchwork bedroom; Donald Judd's dramatically spare art-filled loft; Adolfo's opulent and magnificently red entrance hall; a Peter Marino-designed penthouse with sweeping midtown views; and Jamie Drake's stunning dining room for the mayor's residence, Gracie Mansion. Other illustrious interior designers and architects represented in the book include Mario Buatta, Robert Couturier, Albert Hadley, Denning & Fourcade, Mark Hampton, Philip Johnson, Charlotte Moss, Thomas O'Brien, Paul Rudolph, Bunny Williams, and Steven Gambrel.
New York is the epicenter of interior-design innovations. Residents embrace myriad styles--from pure period historicism to bracing modernity. Moonan investigates the city's best residential spaces and presents them here, a book for the libraries of design lovers and professionals in the field.

As a native New Yorker, I Thank you Mary for showcasing New York’s beauty at Christmas . I did work at Rockefeller Center for quite a few years . I love that you included the charities . The affordable gifts that you showcase are wonderful and great ideas thank you for always sharing such beautiful videos .
👍👍👍💖💖💖💎💎💎✨✨✨
As a New Yorker I so appreciate you sharing the beauty of the city at Christmas. Your gifts were splendid! Thank you for pointing out the charity’s these stores are involved with. My granddaughter loves elephants so a few years ago she came across an elephant named Tara from the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. For her birthday we donated to Tara’s care. She received an adoption certificate. So the love of elephants and there well being grows along with her. We also donate to the Sheldrick Trust. I love your elephant ornament! I will definitely over the next week make the apple bird feeder with my grand baby’s . Thank you for sharing New York Splendor . As you walk past some of these grand buildings one wonders what the apartments inside may look like. I’m looking forward to next week as my dear friend just moved to Charleston and I miss her. Merry Advent Mary your channel is delightful!
Well said!
Merry Christmas to you and yours Mary!🎄🥰🎄you are a welcome and weekly fixture in my life. You bring so much grace and recently ribaldry 🤭 into our daily round ALL THE BEST to you !❤️
Your kind comment is much appreciated! Merry Christmas to you also.
Mary, I enjoyed the scenes of New York. What a magical place to visit at this time of year! The recipients of such lovely gifts are going to be very pleased including the hungry little birds. The companies shown are funding worthwhile causes. That is definitely an encouragement to shop them knowing of their philanthropy. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for sharing your style, expertise and book reviews each week🌺
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and I wish you a Merry Christmas as well.
Radosna kreatywna Mary!Twoje filmy są bardzo piękne.Pokazujesz wspaniałe miejsca,bajeczne sposoby dekoracji domu i książki,które mogą być wielką inspiracją.Bardzo dziękuję i życzę pięknych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia w otoczeniu dobrych kochanych ludzi😊.
LOVE your gentle voice, crafting and taking me places I may never get to go. Thank you so much for this 30 minute of beauty and information. Merry Christmas !
Small world regarding the Elephant Sanctuary. As a young child I would often go with my parents to a tire repair shop to "play with the elephant", which was a baby and just the right size for me. We lived on a ranch in a very small community and knew the shop owner well. Many, many years later I read an article in Parade magazine about an elephant, its owner and a new sanctuary in TN. I wrote to Carol and confirmed Tarra was the elephant I played with. Since then I've followed Tarra and Bella's story and glad I have mementos of her during her time at the sanctuary. I know it sounds odd to have played with an elephant but it was early 70's and things were very different then. The tire shop always had some type of animal to interact with, they were fun times. Oh, enjoyed your sharing of the NY trip too :)
Mary I had to laugh when you said that you had practice rewrapping ,that’s something my Mom used to say to me ,yes I not only unwrapped my presents but every ones when I was young, she said that why my packages are wrapped so well …..which is what I have spent today doing,glad it’s over 🤣. Lucky you to get to go shopping in New York, Johnson City is growing so fast except for shopping,I truly try to shop locally with small businesses but it gets harder every year . St Jude has always been a favorite my brother has been invited there many times because he was always trying to raise money for them ,I for the last few years have started donating more locally,The hot chocolate is definitely something i will check out ,but the Elephant was the one that had my heart,it was gorgeous ,the Book was Wonderful ,as always Thanks for another great video. 🎄🌿🍃
You are the sweetest person for thinking consideration , thinking of our featherie friends they bring joy in the mornings .thank you for that idea .
Thank you- I do love all creatures!
You are such a warm hug to me as I sit with my coffee to watch your latest video. This latest one gave me a jolt as you flipped through the pages I saw one of a grey room elegantly decorated in gold and period furniture. One family I’ve been following for years bought a chateau in France which was in a decrepit state, they have been restoring it back to its original elegant beauty but this has taken enormous back breaking effort, involving time and research. They have succeeded in finishing two rooms including the addition of a stunning bathroom. The grey room in your book with all the gold wall trim is exactly like one of the rooms Terry and Ash along with Tracy have finished. I immediately told them about you and your book review as I think they would love it anyway! What’s not to love? xxxxx💕🥰💕
Merry Christmas Mary to you and your family! What a lovely idea! Never thought of that. I am going to use your ideas! I wish you a joyful Christmas filled with love as we celebrate our Lord and Savior!🎄 Hope your new year brings you health and happiness!
Your presentations are so beautiful and tasteful. Watching you unwrap luxury gifts was so pleasing and delightful. The recipients of the gifts are going to be thrilled. I enjoy your crafts or sentiments at the end of the videos. The bird feeder is easy to assemble and the birds would be thankful for such a treat.
It was fun and fulfilling, especially when I saw the birds partaking of the seeded apple.
Great video as usual Mary. You’re such a kind soul, you even provided a gift to the birds. 😊
Awesome! So much fun treated us with New York light and shopping purchases. The book absolutely great, New York Splendor lot to learn. Thank you for sharing your idea of feeding the birds...blessings.😎😍
Mary your voice is sooooooooooooo soothing. this was a lovely video. thanks for this and thanks for your great videos!
You are welcome. Thank you for the kind comment!
I look forward to all of your videos, and have purchased many of the books you have reviewed. I especially like all crafts and antique shopping trips. We share so many decorating likes, the love of blue and white, and the Colonial Williamsburg look.
Thank you for sharing , your good finds as well are perfect size and beautiful wrapped ,
Merry Christmas to you and your family , peace and harmony.
What a wonderful video. Gifts, nature, New York and more. I would be lost without your video each week...I wish you, hubby and family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year, 2024. Always look forward to Friday and your tasteful videos. Until next one ~
The traditional way;
"Happy and glorious"...
🎀💐🎀💐
That's a fantastic book; thanks for sharing. What I love is how thoroughly unique and thought out each room is... especially the wall treatments. Paneling, wallpaper, or richly colored paint finishes add so much depth to any space. Additionally, the total embrace of color is equally notable. I do wish more people would get over their fear of real color. Who wants to live in an all neutral environment? Bleh. Cheers... and Merry Christmas!
How delightful, Mary. Especially loved your shopping haul with carefully thought out beautiful gifts. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Hello Mary, New York is beautiful during the Christmas season. You gift selections were lovely AND i am sure the recipients are going to love them. I love to feed the birds and your craft ideas were great! I am looking forward to next week's review as I LOVE Charleston! Have a great week and I will see you in the next one! Hugs! :)
That was lovely Mary thank you and what lucky friends and relatives you have!!
Beautiful christmas lights!! and sights✨🎀🌲😊 in NY. thank you for sharing your trip and gifts with us, cute ornament🎄perfect ending cute little bird
Love your videos! Would enjoy watching you wrap your lovely treasures because I know they will look exquisite! 🌲
Beautiful scenes from New York. I would never think to shop the stores you highlighted, assuming I couldn't afford anything. Thanks for sharing
It was fun to shop in these stores, and actually buy something without having "buyer's remorse". Maybe one day I'll be able to purchase a Canary Diamond ring instead of the Tiffany's body lotion! 😁
@@thetartantopiary it's good to dream!
🎄 Beautiful show Mary! ~Loved it!
🎄🎁 🤶🎁🎅🎄
I love the gift opening.
I'm glad. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Mary for letting us know about all charities that get blessed by large companies:)
What a wonderful country we live in, so much generosity, specially during Christmas:)
The gifts are lovely, your family will be very happy,
Loved the one for your mom.
You must not have squirrels or raccoons where you live. If I were to place an apple full of bird seeds on a tree where I live, within seconds the squirrels would be all over it, the beautiful birds don’t have a chance.
I guess I can gift the squirrels instead 😊
God bless. 🎄🎄
I agree, the squirrels have to eat too especially their babies. We have 7 bird feeders around our house and the birds have a wonderful feast everyday so I know the squirrels aren’t getting the upper hand xxx
Thank you Mary. Yours is a sweet, relaxing and chic entertainment. I look forward to the next episode 🤓
I do appreciate you taking the time to let me know. ❤️
I’ve wanted to visit New York at Christmas. It looks so beautiful.
I love all the special gifts!!!! Merry Christmas! Thank you for another great video!
Merry Christmas to you as well! ❤️
Thank you Mary. Another wonderful video. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Mary, your videos are always lovely and thoughtful. Great idea on the bird-feeders! 🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you also!
Great book, lovely shopping!
O what fun! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Wow, finally something beautiful from NY, thank you ! Some sarcasm there lol
I picked up on that- I wore rose colored glasses and went with my glass half full. It was a lovely visit!
So lovely that you gave your son's high school guidance counselor a gift. I appreciate all the good hands around my sons and yours and all of ours. I appreciate you also. God bless you and your family ~ Merry Christmas! 🌟
Yes indeed! Merry Christmas to you as well!
What a beautiful video! ❤
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🌲🌲🌲
Merry Christmas Mary to you and your family. Thank you for the wonderful books you shown us. 🦌🌲⛸️🕯️🛷🎄
I'm so glad! Merry Christmas to you also.
Merry Christmas, Thank you for all your gifts to us from the book previews to insights...I just received The New Elegance by T.C. one of several books that you displayed and I then purchased. Yes, missing getting to New York, hopefully next year! Happy 2024 as well.
I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. The New Elegance is superb. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.
Thank Mary!❤️🌹
Beautiful!!!!!
I love this idea! My daughter already lives in Manhattan. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and would go into the city frequently, especially at Christmas. I think I will plan to do this next year! I’m excited!
Excellent!
