A Terrific Threesome

I wasn't planning to post today, but was most inspired to do so after learning two things:

1) Ann Getty and Thomas Britt are each having a Tastemaker Tag Sale tomorrow (Saturday) on One Kings Lane. Now this is really huge news. Seeing that these two design legends are each blessed with an enviable abundance of style and talent, I just know that their sales will be chock full of interesting pieces and tidbits. Because after all, who doesn't want a little Getty and Britt magic in their own homes?

2) And speaking of homes, remember Alexis Swanson Traina's fabulous San Francisco home that Ann Getty designed with the help of Thomas Britt? (That's a photo of the Traina's conservatory at top. Seriously one of the best interiors that I've seen in a while.) Well, Alexis has a really great blog called Napa for the Curious & Eccentric that covers all kinds of interesting topics like wine (Alexis and her father are vintners and proprietors of Swanson Vineyards in Napa Valley), travel, Napa, food, and...Ann Getty and Tom Britt. Alexis has written some really interesting blog posts about her life-long relationships with both designers. She has also included some terrific photos of her own home, her sister's West Village loft, and some vintage photos of her parents' Britt-decorated Florida home from 1971. I'll warn you- you're going to want to spend a lot of time reading her blog!
