Suzanne Rheinstein – Living With Antiques

Suzanne Rheinstein – Living With Antiques

The Decorative Arts Society puts together an annual series of lectures on interior design, fabulous gardens, and various subjects on the arts. The speakers are highly regarded and informative and I’ve been inspired by and learned something from each one.

One of the highlights this year is interior designer Suzanne Rheinstein. She’s speaking next week, but unfortunately for me, I will be travelling and will miss her presentation.  I’ve followed her work from as far back as I can remember and can’t resist studying her artfully arranged rooms. She masterfully combines styles and objects with a unique sense of color and precise attention to detail resulting in elegant yet relaxed interiors.

The title of her lecture is “Rooms for Today: Easy Living with Antiques”. Interestingly, this subject is a discussion I’ve recently had with several friends. Many homes look the same these days and lack the individuality antiques bring to the space. Perhaps because antiques can be difficult to source, readily available furniture and decorative pieces from showrooms have replaced them. Personally, I love a little history sprinkled throughout the house with collected objects from life and travel that have a story. They add personality and give both a classic or contemporary home a curated quality. I’ve collected things forever and am a firm believer if you buy what you love, no matter the style, you’ll find a place for it in your home.

I’m missing her lecture but am adding Rheinstein’s book, Rooms for Living: A Style for Today with Things from the Past to my annual holiday wish list of design books. Somehow it slipped past me when it was released last year. I can’t wait to delve into the book and take a field trip to her lovely store, Hollyhock, when I return.

    The photo the third from the bottom is one of the most beautiful and inviting rooms I’ve ever seen.

      I love it too. For such a large room, it still manages to feel cozy.

    Couldn’t agree more!! I have antiques throughout my house that I’ve collected with my husband throughout the years, and they give me pleasure every day and bring back memories of places we’ve visited!

      Same here. I would have a hard time paring back too much if needed. Almost everything I have has a story or memory attached.

    It’s so important to surround yourself with things that you love and have meaning, it grounds your home!

      I still have things from our antiquing trip in Connecticut and NY twenty plus years ago!

    Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to speaking to the group and disappointed that our paths will not cross.

The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled b The vintage Patricia von Musulin earrings styled by Roberto Johnson in this story from The Cut take me straight back to the 1980s. I'm sure we carried the exact pair at Lina Lee during my years employed at the Beverly Hills store. If I dig deep, I might still have them!​​​​​​​​

I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy sum I can’t wait for warmer weather to wear easy summer looks like this. This #ASCENO would be so simple to dress up or down with jewelry, flats or heels. And these #LOROPIANA brown sandals are fabulous classics. Both pieces would be the starting point for several outfits. 
.
My must have summer accessories will always include stylish sunglasses. The @saltoptics x @amareesnewport frames are my current go-tos checking all the right boxes. Add my new petite Bottega bag and I’ll be good to go.

Meanwhile, I discovered the instagram account of @cauvarjao highlighting gorgeous properties in Brasil and Portugal like the home pictured here. So beautiful! Take a look!

I don't think I'll ever tire of an all white bathr I don't think I'll ever tire of an all white bathroom. Details make all the difference. Let's start with the gorgeous lighting from Urban Electric. Mirrors hung in front of the windows is so pretty and unique too.

Since I’ve edited the contents of what I carry i Since I’ve edited the contents of what I carry in my bag, I’ve been able to downsize. And, with fewer items to transfer from one bag to another, I’m less reluctant to frequently change styles. This has inspired me to curate a collection of small handbags in a variety of colors and shapes. 
.
I’m covering the spectrum – from metallics to brights and pastels. My newest addition is beige. I selected this beautiful chamois hued Bottega Veneta and love how it looks with so many things in my closet. 
.
The obvious pairing is white, black, brown and other neutrals but contrasted with a color, it takes on a very modern note. I also think it plays beautifully with other textures, especially raffia.
