A Real Treat: Philip Gorrivan

I had never heard of Philip Gorrivan until I read NYSD today! Every one of the photographs was just more beautiful than the one before. His mother is Morrocan and his father is old Maine. His choice of colours in his NYC house reflect that combination of cultures. He will be launching a line of fabrics this winter with Highland Court Fabrics. Mr. Gorrigan sounds like a lovely man, and he's someone I am going to watch.

    I loved his story, too. I have talked to several people, especially New Yorkers, who walked away from careers post-9/11.

    The hallway! It's making me look twice at my foyer. Thanks!

    All of the design blogs that I read, and I don't remember seeing him before... I am so glad I saw the NYSD article and could share it.

    Funny how we all notice the same things! I LOVED this house too -it's such a great blend of the 'current' but also his own traditional style. I think this is the type of home that will age well.
