Beth is a lifelong design lover with an artist’s eye, a dancer’s grace, and a reliablesense of humor.

Mood Fabrics is her favorite destination in midtown Manhattan. When M&J Trimmings closed, she wept.

The Farrow & Ball color consultant knows her. So does Carolyn at Janovic Paint.

In her giant craft drawer: scraps of leather, handfuls of brushes, gold leaf, a loaded staple gun, jars of sample paint, every kind of glue.

She’s grateful she found the perfect man so she can turn her attention to hunting for the perfect rug or the perfect chair.

Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Chairish, and 1stDibs are bookmarked and dog-eared.

Finding fabric to reupholster a bench and cutting out images to craft her own wallpaper put a gleam in her eye.

She’s 5’2”, but doesn’t believe there’s any spot she can’t reach with the right ladder.

Wandering Home Depot or Ace Hardware in search of a solution is her idea of a night on the town.

She loves black and white photographs, but prefers the rest of her world in color.

And, Beth does things AI can’t do.
