Wonderful article and pictures of the chic Park Ave-nue apartment designed by its owner (“In the Clear,”

December) Susan Chalom has an amazing eye: Her place is minimal, yet warm And her simplicity is clas-sic What an inspiration! Thank you for including a feature for nonprofessionals such as myself

Spelling It Out

The photographs of the American ambassador’s residence in Helsinki (“Northern Exposure,” Decem-ber) look great, but the distinguished architect you refer to is Harrie T Lindeberg, not Harry T Lindberg,

as you had it A copy of Domestic Architecture of H.T Lindeberg sits above my desk and has inspired

my work As a librarian’s child, I cannot help but comb texts with an editor’s eye

Your feature on Candace Bushnell’s Greenwich Vil-lage apartment in the September issue (“Love at First Sight”) was gorgeous Her space exudes a sexy and feminine character that I’d love to bottle and bring to my apartment in Philadelphia

The Gift of Giving

I was extremely touched by your Editor’s Page in November I am the head of the President’s Club

of Vista Del Mar, a 98-year-old orphanage in Los Angeles, and grew up in a truly charitable family that taught me what you give comes back in so many ways I respect you for a fabulous magazine

Fine Type

my favorite design publication You have such great style! You consistently present top-quality articles

on decorating, furnishings, and architecture, and the stories are always well written and photographed

I very much like the genuine care and depth of feel-ing you show for the people featured, be it the de-signer or a client, and their homes The blend of the personal and professional is present, too, on the Editor’s Page It is exemplary and rare, and one more reason why I keep reading your magazine There

is much more to praise, but I’ll conclude by thank-ing you for your integrity It is very much needed, and welcome, these days

Greetings from Greece

I cherish the interiors you feature on your pages I would even call you a long-distance university of good taste Congratulations on a wonderful job

Holiday Blues

How sad that references in your magazine to the holiday season have been reduced to one article about shopping (“Frozen Assets,” December) Gone are the days when shelter magazines celebrated with beautiful spreads depicting families gathered

in celebration of Hanukkah and Christmas The hol-idays have now been reduced to a few material trin-kets that may be purchased to celebrate what? The article doesn’t even say I assume that you have made a decision that it is politically incorrect to write about such things

Lisa Montague, via e-mail

Not at all Until very recently, ELLE DECOR has been published eight times a year, with a December/Jan-uary issue, and few things are sadder than a Christ-mas tree cover in January Our increase in frequency

to ten issues allows for a separate December pub-lication; look for a more festive celebration of the holiday season next year.

ESCAPE TO PARADISE NIGHTLY.

top floor

Bergdorf Goodman rethinks luxury for the home,

with new shops and a magical restaurant

what’s hot! shops

The most dramatic dining room to open recently

in Manhattan bucks a trend—and might just

cre-ate a new one BG is neither in a swank hotel nor in

a fringe neighborhood that’s suddenly hot, but rather

on the seventh floor of Bergdorf Goodman, which

has been a mecca for luxury shopping since 1899

In fact, the whole floor, which is devoted to the home,

just got a serious refresher with an injection of new,

high-end furnishings from around the

world—prov-ing that fashion stores are no longer just sellworld—prov-ing

clothes; they’re selling a lifestyle

For her first project in New York, L.A.-based

in-terior designer Kelly Wearstler gave BG, the

res-taurant which overlooks Central Park, a decidedly

residential feel by creating a series of salons rather

than one huge room It’s a nod to the Beaux Arts

build-ing’s heritage: The Goodmans used to live two floors

above in a 16-room apartment With a refined palette

of ivory, black, and gold, Wearstler has enlivened

the setting, which includes a swank bar, using hits

of unusual color: Leather-covered canopy bergères,

modeled after ones she saw in a Christie’s

cata-logue, are robin’s-egg blue; turquoise silk from De

Gournay, embellished with a chinoiserie design,

covers some walls; and avocado and mustard make

appearances, too “We wanted to be true to Bergdorf

Goodman aesthetically, and we knew this wasn’t

going to be a minimal, white box,” says the store’s

CEO, Jim Gold Adds Wearstler, “I wanted it to feel

fresh It’s a room for people of all ages.”

The rest of the floor is divided into small boutiques

where the unusual reigns, with one-of-a-kind

ob-jects like perfectly preserved ostriches and

pea-cocks from Deyrolle, the famed Parisian taxidermist;

whimsical, hand-painted stationery from Bernard

Maisner (with calligraphers on hand to address

in-vitations); vintage books and entomological prints

from Jane Stubbs; exquisitely embroidered

bed-ding by Leontine Linens; and a stash of vintage hotel

silver “We want the floor to have a sense of

discov-ery,” explains Gold, “as if you are shopping the stalls

the Art Deco–style alarm clock perched on a bedside table “We wanted

to create a store that was friendly, casual, and comfortable,” says Dave DeMattei, president of emerging brands for the San Francisco–based Williams-Sonoma, Inc “Chuck Williams, founder of the company, wel-comed people into the kitchen with a spirit of hospitality We want to welcome them into the rest of the house in the same way.”

The store is the ultimate reassurance for anyone who might hesitate before phoning in an order for a sofa See that same item at the store— and try it out—and it’s far easier to commit “You can come in and sit

in a leather chair while you flip through the catalogue and see what that same chair will look like in plaid or linen,” says DeMattei “The catalogue,

After a mere 18 months, the Williams-Sonoma Home catalogue now

has a pop-up edition, a new shop in West Hollywood where all the

wares on its pages—and more—have sprung into three dimensions

Located on Beverly Boulevard, just a stone’s throw from the Pacific

Design Center and around the corner from Robertson Boulevard’s

up-scale boutiques, the store is the first of a projected total of seven that

the company will have opened around the country within the next year

The 18,500-square-foot space is laid out like a rambling but

opu-lently luxurious traditional home Two inviting leather stools sit in front

of a working fireplace, with highball glasses and a cut-crystal decanter

Picasso had Marie-Thérèse Walter, Andy Warhol had the denizens of the Factory, and Marc Jacobs has Sofia Coppola Charlotte Moss, who has forged a reputation for richly layered rooms long on both ele-gance and comfort, has a veritable salon of muses— Edith Wharton, Jane Digby, and Lola Montez, to name a few In her first collection of upholstery, fab-rics, and wall coverings for Brunschwig & Fils, Moss honors the women, both famous and infamous, who inspire her to, as she puts it, “live life large.”

“Edith Wharton ran upstream,” says Moss “She worked when it was unfashionable for women to do so.” Her homage in fabric, Edith’s Reverie, evokes the chinoiserie so popular in Wharton’s beloved Paris The Josephine sofa is named for the wife of Napoleon, and the Sarah skirted armchair for Sarah Bernhardt Moss so loves the pattern of Digby’s Tent, named for the 19th-century aristocrat who married

a Bedouin sheik, she had a coat made from it

Moss has had a busy year, with the publication of

her latest book, Winter House, as well as the launch

of her new lines But then, the Southerner has always intertwined life and work Her subtle wovens are inspired by and named for the creeks, mountains, and beaches she loves A faux-bois pattern recalls the alpine ridges of Highlands, North Carolina, while Monticello, a damask of oak leaves and acorns, reminds her of the hills around Thomas Jefferson’s home in her native Virginia Though she looks to the past, her color wheel is decidedly current Curry, sage, aubergine, and citron predominate “I strive to cre-ate emotion, passion, and atmosphere in a room,” she says, “by borrowing from the past and pushing
