Young Huh, Had Me At Hollyhock!

I thoroughly enjoyed the past two days volunteering as a docent at The Kips Bay Show House! Remember there are only 2 weeks left and I urge you to visit. It is truly amazing! You may view the rooms on Architectural Digest site. However, to see the room's true colors, textures and priceless objects, you must see it in person. There were so many fabulous spaces starting with Martyn Lawrence Bullard to Juan Montoya and Ingrao. Not to mention some of my favorites like Alexa Hampton and Cullman & Kravis! Yet there was one special little jewel of a room in the small corridor that lead to the lovely powder rooms. It literally had me at Hollyhock! The walls where upholstered in Lee Jofa's Hollyhock and the lovely designer herself  Young Huh was present to meet and greet the visitors. I loved this space. It was warm and simply well done. The center table was adorned with floral sculptures, the additional upholstery fabric was a gorgeous rich green with a wonderful trim. I just had to stop and let Young know how much I liked it and she was as lovely as the space itself.  
A little background about Young Huh: She started as an English major at Smith college, who then went on to obtain a law degree from Fordham. An avid lover of the arts she then found herself drawn to her true calling " design".  She founded her New York based design firm in 2007 and the rest is history. She feels that her previous legal training actually helps with design as it has reinforced her work ethic, attention to detail and her ability to see every transaction from different angles.
Enjoy!
