Your “I don’t drink” comment made me think to suggest checking out The Red Thread Atelier on Instagram. Not only is Vaughn setting trends with her new “not your grandmothers needlepoint” biz on Long Island, but she’s just designed an incredibly beautiful, thoughtful and smart “Sober” set of canvasses just for her friends who prefer mocktails these days. It’s a special project that I found incredibly touching. And, full disclosure, I had no idea of it until she revealed it on her “What’s doing Wednesday?” live reel…& I’m her Mom!

I want to be at her table! or I want to be a happy little bee buzzing around and listening to all the chatter and taking mental pictures of the table and the decor and everything she is serving. I would enjoy her wine and the Ivy cocktail! thank you for sharing!

Annie is top of my list of people to interview about their reno. I’m v much like you in that I don’t typically engage with that kind of content. As a renter I don’t have a vested interest in the whole gruelling process, but her detail-obsession is right up my street and I’m engrossed in it all! She’s a human encyclopaedia of paint colours, flooring types, fixtures and fittings. Was so thrilled to see you’d spoken to her for this!

I love home reno content when it’s GOOD! I think what makes it into the mainstream is pretty uninspiring, but I could watch hours and hours of someone who knows what they’re doing choose paint colors. Enter Annie!

Love this so much. And like Annie, I am so over heels too. Flats, ftw!

As someone who is in the midst of a long and meandering reno, I love this is behind the scenes peak – and the validation that taking your time and agonizing over imperceptible details is not a crazy thing to do!
