More on Michele Safra Interior Design
A native of Milan, Michele Safra was virtually swaddled in Fortuny and Dupioni silks at birth, thanks to her mother, an interior designer. Branded as the brainy one in the family, young Michele was pushed to become a financial advisor. But, even as she studied voraciously and excelled in the world of numbers, Michele was busy absorbing the world of beauty, learning how to fashion homes in Paris, Brussels, Geneva and Monte Carlo at her mothers side. Even though her financial career was on the fast track, Michele heard the irresistible call of her artistic muse. Throwing caution to the wind, she dared to follow in her mothers footsteps to pursue a career as a top interior designer. She turned her sights to design, earning her degree from the New York School of Interior Design and soon founding her company, Michele Safra Interiors. Michele Safra Interiors is one of New York Citys hottest boutique interior design firms, with Michele leading the company as she builds out her career as a top interior designer for the New York City area.
Micheles artistic roots, global upbringing, and financial expertise give her a distinctive blend of creative, cultural and business sense thats not often found in the design world. An allied member of ASID, Michele has developed an international clientele for both residential and commercial projects. When she isnt scouring European flea markets and exclusive showrooms, she can be found doting on her family in New York City. With a multicultural background and a flair for the eclectic, contemporary, and timeless, Michele Safra is dedicated to helping clients create beautiful spaces that resonate with their own unique spirit.

Nancy Korpanys road to success began with a move into a timeworn home in Belgravia and a photograph.
I just moved into an old 1950s house that had a very ugly, muted beige bedroom and I thought that would be perfect, the Sherwood Park native explained.
Kicking off earlier this year, Southgate Centre in conjunction with Crate and Barrel launched a home dcor challenge in which more than 45 contestants were asked to submit before and after photographs of a room redesign on the popular social media photo-sharing app Instagram.
We had a wide range of competitors involved in terms of experience, said Claire Kolmatycki, marketing director for Southgate Centre. We had some students from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) involved, along with some more seasoned professionals in the home dcor field.
From the 45 hopefuls, the field was narrowed down to eight semi-finalists who incorporated personal touches, including unique colourways and textiles, to showcase the largest transformation.
Those before and after photos were then posted on the Southgate Centre website, accumulating a total of 2,000 votes in five days to determine a final four.
With Korpany advancing through to the final round, she now had an opportunity to claim $3,000 in gift cards, the chance to design a showroom at Creekwood Showhomes, an advertising feature in Avenue Magazine, a feature in Creeklife Magazine and booth space at the 2015 Edmonton Home and Garden Show.
The finalists were given one of four spring trends including Global Village that incorporated cultural pieces; Wild Orchid, to play off of the Pantone colour of the year; Room to Bloom, a floral trend; and Garden of Light, integrating outdoor spaces to decorate their vignettes with furniture and accessories from Crate and Barrel.
The theme I ended up getting was Global Village, and that was the one that stuck out to me when we were narrowed down to eight and I said if I make it to four, that would be awesome to get that just because I love travelling it would have been something that would come naturally to me, Korpany explained.
However, after shopping for a couple of hours at Crate and Barrel, Korpany, an interior designer at Brinsmead Kennedy Architecture, realized the task was one more difficult than she initially thought.

The latest New York Magazine Space of the Week pulls back the brush-trim silk curtain on interior designer Wesley Moon's renovation of his 650-square-foot NYC apartment, what he calls a "fantasy of uptown elegance." Moon and his partner, Sal, settled on it after over a year of searching, where "everything we saw in our range was beyond help." Unwilling to settle for the "not bad" and "totally livable" state the apartment was in before, Moon broadsided the small abode with a complete revisionrepurposing rooms entirely, knocking down a few wallsand the result is pretty sublime. In the living room (pictured above) the luxury quotient was given a significant boost by a pair of floor to ceiling curtains, a French Deco area rug from Rug & Kilim, and coffee table found, as with many of Moon's pieces, at the Paris Flea Market in Saint-Ouen. Care to take a tour of the rest?
Before photo by Wesley Moon; After photo by William Waldron/NY Mag Moon gave the ho-hum kitchen what for with a whole lot of marble; marble countertops, a marble backdrop behind the stove, and a floor of 300-year-old reclaimed marble tiles from Paris Ceramics. The new cabinetry he designed himself.
Before photo by Wesley Moon; After photo by William Waldron/NY Mag Reversing the floor plan, Moon turned the original bedroom into a dining area. After remodeling, he brought in 1950s wall sconces of perforated metal from the Paris Flea Market, brush-trim silk drapes from Houls, vintage Italian chairs reupholstered in alligator-embossed patent leather, and a turn-of-the-century claw-foot table from eBay.

Interior designer Kathleen Buoymaster founded her La Jolla firm in 1985 and served as its president until 2013. She is now a design associate at Seaside Home on Wall Street. She is a graduate of Duke University and the Interior Designers Guild of Los Angeles.
Kathleen Buoymaster
What brought you to La Jolla? An absolutely wonderful event marriage to my husband 33 years ago. At that time, as CEO of his company, he had homes in New York and La Jolla, which made us bi-coastal. Lovely arrangement!
If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? We are so privileged to live in such a beautiful area that it is difficult to want to change anything about La Jolla, but I would love to snap my fingers and bring back The Whaling Bar, so that my husband and I could resume our Friday date night at that special place.
Who or what inspires you? Beauty of all kinds inspires me be it in nature, the arts, or of the heart. What could be more inspiring than a La Jolla sunset, a Renoir painting, or a kind and caring heart seeking to help another human being.
If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? This is a tough question, as there are many more than eight people I would like to invite to a dinner party. Since the guest list is conservative, I will include others than my family: Elsie de Wolfe, Walt Disney, Abraham Lincoln, Billy Graham, Mother Teresa, Lydia Redman (my dear friend, who passed away at age 104 and was Princess San Faustino Santa Maria de Bourbon), Jim Thompson and Nancy Lancaster.
What are you currently reading? English Country House Interiors by Jeremy Musson.
What is it that you most dislike? Easy Answer: Dishonesty.
What is your most-prized possession? Since I cant possess my family, whom I most prize, I must select a different answer for a prized possession. It is without exception, my little creature Sir Barnaby of Midsomer a beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
What do you do for fun? Interior Design! I love what I do and it is the most fun and, of course, traveling to exotic places to learn about and enjoy other cultures and their creative endeavors.
