'Tis the season to be busy! Now that I've left Martha Stewart Living to work on building a little something of my own, I'm super excited to be able to share all my ideas for decorating and entertaining for the holidays. I know the posts aren't coming as often as they have, but rest assured, everyone! Lots of good stuff is on the way! This past weekend, Jaithan and I, along with three of our favorite girlfriends, Austin, Ronny and Jordan, were up in Greenwich decorating a gorgeous house of my longtime client and friend Susan. For the full post, including lots of great before and after shots, come back tonight!

























Hi Eddie, Your work is extraordinary. I can spend hours looking at all the details in your designs. I live in an old farmhouse and now that the renovation is completed, I'm having a hard time putting together the finishing touches. Tablescapes and mantlescapes are my biggest weakness! This results in a very minimalistic 'look'!!! ; ) Love reading each and every one of your posts! xoTrina

You've been added to my favorites!
Great place for inspiration.
Thanks so much.

Eddie; Love the exterior and love your work. I think the interior garlands are too large and out of scale with this house. When you have to duck your head to get by you know you have gone too big. I know its a great deal of work to do all this and the photos are awesome as well. Cheers

Best,
Wendy

Looks like fun, don't fall of the ladders! Suppose to snow 4-5 inches here in Mississippi, had torando last night and now snow! Which is very rare for us southerners. No logs yet.

Careful Eddie. You are not supposed to stand on the top rung of a ladder.
Can't wait to see the house fully decorated. ♥Rosemary

Eddie you have such a unique gift in all areas of design. I think it's time for a coffee table book. I will be first in line to purchase one.
Thanks for making the design world a much better place.

Eddie,
Love the exterior of the house!!! Good luck in your new venture. I have to stay where I am for another 14 months and then I will be eligble for an early retirement with 66% of my salary and annual cost of living raises. Then I plan to embark on a more creative endeavor.
