CHECK OUT MY RECENT PODCAST INTERVIEW

I had a lot of fun the other day.

I was honored to have David Shriner-Cahn, host of the podcast “Smashing the Plateau” ask me to be on his show. It was a fantastic experience. Along with talking about high end interior design, we discussed topics ranging from what it takes to be successful to the essence of creativity and everything in between.

I can’t do justice to the interview in words, so I’d love it if you’d check it out for yourself. Tell me what you think.


HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN NOW HAS ITS OWN ART BASEL

One of the events that shows the rest of the world everything we already knew made Miami great is Art Basel.

So you can imagine how excited we are to find out a Basel-like event all about high end interior design and decoration is coming to Miami.

It was just announced that in a little under a year (May 12-15, 2015), Maison & Objet will come to our shores. It’s a prestigious event centered completely around interior design, and it will spawn all kinds of smaller (but no less exciting) shows, parties, and events.

If you’re from Miami (or like to travel here) and love high end, top quality interior design, this will be the event to attend for years to come.


BRINGING MIAMI INTERIOR DECORATION BACK TO ITS ROOTS

No matter what kind of luxury interior decoration you come across in Miami, you can almost always trace at least a little bit of it back to its original heyday.

From the 1920’s through the late 1950’s, Miami interior design had a unique style that spanned what we now call Modernism, which includes everything from Art Deco to streamlined Jet Age style.

Many of those old buildings no longer exist, but fortunately there were people around who had the foresight to take pictures.

I definitely recommend you take a look at recently uncovered photos of the Algiers Hotel from the 50’s. You will walk away inspired!


MIAMI INTERIOR DESIGN AND REALITY TV

It turns out that Interiors by Steven G. is the talk of the reality TV world.

RealityTea, one of the biggest reality television blogs out there, has been closely following the story of our clientLisa Hochstein as she battled the City of Miami for the right for permission to build her dream mansion.

In the wake of her big win, the blog featured the news along with some interior design renderings of the new home.

Guess whose logo was in the right-hand corner (hint: you’re on the website).

Wow, this is fun! Before you know it I’ll be competed against 6 other teams on a tropical island.


OUR FAVORITE HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGN VIDEO PODCAST: NEW EPISODE

At Home with Susanna Salk is our favorite online video show. It’s all about high end interior design and is shot at some of the most beautiful locations in the country. We can’t wait until they get down here to Miami.

So without further ado…


WATCH STEVEN G. TAKE THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE IN MIAMI

You knew I was going to have to do this eventually. But my own daughter!

I got word this weekend that my little girl Lyndsey Gurowitz (some of you may know her as CFO of Interiors by Steven G.) challenged me to dump a bucket of ice water over my head for a good cause…raising money for ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Fortunately, I got to do it in my bathing suit speeding down Miami’s Intracoastal in my yacht. But still…whoo was it cold!

Now it’s my turn to throw down the challenge. Grant Cardone, you’re up. You too Kelly Arison. And of course I can’t forget my team of high end interior designers and decorators at Interiors by Steven G. I can’t wait to see them with ice water all over their heads!


ANOTHER TALENTED INTERIOR DESIGNER HITS THE MIAMI SCENE

After you’ve been somewhere for 30 years, it’s exciting to see everyone else discovering it.

That’s one of the reasons I loved finding out about the work of Isabelle Peribere, the former executive who is now trying her hand at high end interior design.

Her new interior design firm does most of its work in Miami and New York. One of her more recent high profile jobs is a collaboration with renowned architect Max Strang on a modernist home that sits right on Biscayne Bay.

You know how we feel about taking your influences from wherever you find them. So if you’re in the process of making your own interior decoration decisions, be sure to take a look at the work of Isabelle Peribere for inspiration.


WHAT DOES THE MIAMI WEALTH REPORT MEAN FOR HIGH END INTERIOR DESIGNERS?

In the annual Knight Frank Wealth Report, Miami was ranked as one of the two of the most important global city’s to the world’s wealthy (the only other North American city on the list was New York).

This confirms something I’ve known for a long time — Miami is the 21st century city. The place where the new global elites want to start things, spend time, move to.

As a high end interior designer, this trend naturally presents a whole universe of opportunities. Not only is it a chance for decorators to get lots of “mover and shaker” new clients (which is always nice, of course), but it also increases the diversity of ideas and influences we can all draw from.

Color me excited!


OUR PARTNER IN (HIGH END INTERIOR) DESIGN

You may remember an interview from not too long ago we conducted with high end audio genius David Frangioni from Audio One.

The interview ended up being one of our most popular and widely shared blog posts of all time.

Fortunately for us, this genius is our partner in our new Miami Beach design/furniture showroom.  Between the luxurious pieces and his state-of-the-future home studio equipment, you can find every last piece of your high end interior design puzzle.


OUR SUNNY ISLES SHOWROOM IS ON FIRE

Since our new Sunny Isles showroom opened a few days ago, it’s been on fire. We’ve been fielding visitors and friends, morning, noon, and night.

While our main Pompano Beach showroom spans 100,000 feet and shows every possible high end interior design combination your home could possibly need, the new place on our sliver of Miami Beach is different. It’s smaller by design and features furniture and adornments to accent and improve your home. And unlike the main showroom, you can walk out with individual pieces.

Because we’re so excited, we’d like to offer you something special. Give us a call to set up an appointment to stop by and check it out and we’ll give you a free interior design consultation.

We’re at (305) 621-5550. See you soon!
