Thank you magazine for including me in your Sept- Oct issue (The Design Innovators). Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the acknowledgement of my work and my designs. What a great way to start my Monday morning! 💖💕😍

All of the beautiful posts I saw today by women about women got me thinking about this one amazing woman in particular. And while I can’t ask to post a black & white pic with the hashtag , I can post a short video clip of what it looks like when a successful woman gives another woman an opportunity and platform to share her personal story. It’s pretty hard to believe that I’ve been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show - not once but twice!! Looking back on that experience, I do hope that my own story and vulnerability helped inspire and empower other women in the same way that Oprah helped to inspire and empower me.

My brother and I both love the words of Maya Angelou but “When Great Trees Fall” is by far one of our favorite poems. I had the intention of reading this aloud last year at my mother’s service but I knew that there was simply no way to get through these powerful and poetic words without completely breaking down so I included them on the back of the program in remembrance of both our parents instead. The final words of the poem have become a bit of a mantra for me, particularly during these troubling times in America. “They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.” I will always think of the struggles of our ancestors and continue to strive to be better. 🙏🏽🖤

It’s been a full year since my mother passed away, and what an incredibly strange year it has been. Emotionally, I don’t want to go back to the place I was at in ICU on this very same day last year. Those of you who have lost a parent understand what I am talking about. It is an overwhelmingly difficult and emotional experience that makes you feel utterly raw, diminished and child-like. I am still grieving this loss, but I remind myself daily how very lucky I was to have had a mother (and a father) who cared deeply, because once you grow up you realize that not all parents do. I love this pic of my mom from an photo shoot of Thanksgiving dinner at my house in Germantown many years ago because it brings back lots of happy memories. Trying to focus on those today. 🙏🏽❤️

Throwback to my younger, thirty-something self and the national coffee ad I was featured in. Not sure about the “nude” lipstick color choice but as I recall, it matched my dress and that was a thing at the time!😉☕️💄 @ Harlem

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my big bro who had to put up with a lifetime of incredibly annoying, little sister antics but despite that, somehow managed to grow up to be one of the most patient, thoughtful, well-read, (and fittest) 59 year old men I know (ok -truth be told, he will kill me 🔫 🔪later for posting this pic since he’s not really the kind of guy to walk around without a shirt or mask although this was pre-covid/post touch football then sit down on beach to read Shakespeare type of pic 😂📸)!! 🎂❤️🎉 @ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

If there is enough space I always try to make sure that every guest bedroom I design and/or decorate has a writing table, a loveseat or bench and a dresser or wardrobe to put clothes in. A plush carpet also helps to create warmth while helping to tie all of the decorative elements together.

What’s hanging above your bed? Art or no art? Are you worried that something is going to fall on you in the middle of night? This client chose simple, light weight, framed black and white photographs for their guest bedroom. I think it was a wise choice!

For those of you who miss seeing Pallet House, this one is for you! So far the house is looking good and working really well since I finished the renovation. BTW I’m very proud of the geraniums I planted back in early June. I just moved them into new galvanized planters that I bought online from . I am probably the only person who cares about owning a watering can and planters that match my galvanized roof and gutters! It’s all in the details as they say!! 🌺🌿😊🏠 @ Pallet House Livingston

I used a combination of bluestone and river rock to create the coping around my swimming pool. The goal was to create a detail that was complimentary in color but had textural contrast. I found the pair of stone jack russell terriers at an antique store in Hudson many years ago. They are a nod to Dolby and what fun we had together for 14 years. 🏊🏽‍♀️🐶👣 @ Livingston , New York

When I am upstate I love shopping at antique stores, craft fairs and yard sales. BUT what I love even more is when people give away good stuff for FREE like these great terra cotta pots that I need for my garden. Please keep your eyes on the road- NO swerving, honking or taking pics of the crazy lady running down the road with a wheel barrel full of assorted garden pots. There is absolutely no shame in my game! 🚗📸😂😳 @ Livingston , New York

Friday Fine Living Flashback

Friday Flashback to that time a few years ago we tried to choreograph a synchronized swimming routine with fellow @elledecor A-list designers @daniellecoldingdesign and @ishkadesigns and my dog Wheeler photo bombed our routine. Shot by the always fabulous designer and A-lister @joymoylerinteriors. #girlshavingfun #swimming #summerfun #fun #designers #interiordesigners #upstate #synchronizedswimming #edalist2020 #blackdesigners #sheilabridges #harlemtoilegirl #flashbackfriday

Back in biz thankfully. Harlem Toile hand screened wallpaper in purple!💜 #wallpaper #design #harlemtoile #harlemtoilegirl #walls #decorate #decoration #interiors #home #interiordesign #sheilabridges

For those of you who have been following along with the demo, renovation and decoration of Pallet House, this one is for you! Enjoy! #designbuild #renovatethendecorate #sheilabridges #harlemtoilegir

The most interesting thing that happened today. #dropit #dog #dropitlikeitshot #bowser #dogdays #fetch #playtime #germanshepherd #friday #germanshepherddog #sheilabridges #harlemtoilegirl

When a friend invites you to take a socially distanced evening walk in his apple orchard you say yes. And you bring Jax along even though she is nearly blind and can’t see the beauty you do but still senses your enthusiasm. #thankful #apples #eveningwalk #appleblossoms #jax #discovery #appleorchard #walk #hike #hudsonvalley #evening #olanaviewshed #sheilabridges #harlemtoilegirl #spring #orchard #federicechurch #olanaviewshed

Happy Saturday! I am so grateful that I am able to walk on a hiking trail and feel the sunshine. All that rain yesterday has made this hike louder than usual! #outdoors #nature #aftertherain #mothernature #hiking #upstateny #happytobeoutside #socialdistancing #sheilabridges #harlemtoilegirl

First coat of paint went on Pallet House today and it’s looking good!👍🏽🏡 #progress #paint #pallethouse #painting #home #designbuild #renovation #renovationproject #hudson #exterior #construction #upstatenewyork #upstateny #hudsonvalley #benmoorepaint #sheilabridges #harlemtoilegirl

Oh Pallet House! The surprises just keep coming. Dealing with well and ground water issues and adding a new submersible pump today. 💧💵 #well #wellpumps #wellpumpservice #countrylife #countryliving #home #water #thisoldhouse #designbuild #renovation #construction #sheilabridges #harlemtoilegirl #upstatenewyork #pallethouse #myhouseproject #pallethouselivingston

Most people know that I absolutely love wallpaper, but way before I designed Harlem Toile, I sat down with Kyra and Rob Hartnett of @twenty2wallpaper who gave me the low down on hand screened wallpaper. Hard to believe that this Friday’s Fine Living Flashback is from 17 years ago- way before wallpaper had become so popular! #wallpaper #walls #twenty2wallpaper #design #decoration #interiordesign #homedecor #interiors #pattern #color #texture #sheilabridges #sheilabridgesdesignerliving

Things are moving very slowly due to the restrictions on residential construction in NY State but I am still inching forward with my Pallet House renovation. #house #home #designbuild #renovation #construction #interiors #projectmanagement #interiors #design #interiordesign #designer #thisoldhouse #sheilabridges #harlemtoilegirl #hudson #hudsonvalleyny #livingston
