San Francisco interior designer Suzanne Tucker - who worked closely with the legendary figure in the early 1980s - describes it as spacious, airy, light and organic. Because he was 6-foot-3, it's understandable that Taylor appreciated grand furniture; but he also liked the way it made his female clients appear more delicate. Taylor's office and studio, located on a lower level of his Sea Cliff residence, included a four-poster bed comprised of alder logs, dried saguaro cacti poles, stone geodes and Taylor's iconic extra-wide Jennifer chair with a wicker frame. [...] Taylor's upstairs floors housed antiques ranging from a Sung Dynasty bronze deer to an 18th century French Régence marble mantel. [...] Tucker & Marks has been hired to refresh various properties that Taylor had a hand in. "For us, what makes something a great fit for Michael Taylor is maintaining the sense of scale, luxury, quality and glamour," says Weisman. Since acquiring the company, Pierce has implemented significant changes. According to Pierce, business is up 60 percent since he took ownership. Set against a metallic gold ceiling and wall adorned with a 66-inch-high Louis XVI-style mirror, Fulk observes that "the overall experience is pure Michael Taylor grandeur and classicism." 'What would Michael do?' When she was brought in to update the Taylor-designed Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, San Francisco designer Suzanne Tucker aimed to keep the exclusive inn "au courant" while staying true to the original timeless Michael Taylor vision: Sometimes, but particularly with the Auberge, I'll ask myself: 'What would Michael do today?' So the redesign became all about custom textiles, bespoke furnishings and bringing the interiors forward to a more contemporary/younger look without losing sight of place and location, keeping it light and textural, sophisticated and relaxed - which in my experience, is exactly what Michael would do.

A fabulous wooden bench in the garden. A National Trust garden in the Sussex Weald. The garden was originally laid out in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. We're particularly fond of this garden for very personal reasons. One of our daughters declared, when she was 10 years old, that she wanted to be a gardener. At that point she took over the running of our garden, taking most of the lawn away, putting in large borders which she filled with plants that she'd mainly propagated herself. When she finished her home schooling, she went to college for two years and, on the first year, she had to do day release somewhere locally in horticulture. We decided to start applying for places at the top, and what better place could there be than with the National Trust. Nymans only took on four students a year at that time, and Florence was one of the lucky ones who was chosen. So, one day a week, for a year, she got trained in this beautiful garden. It stood her in good stead, she learnt so much, and has really helped her in her career as a gardener.

I had the day off so I spent a couple hours rewiring and attaching the lamp arm and shade to one of my first atomic-styled furniture acquisitions - this great telephone table / gossip bench. BEST $40 purchase I've ever made!!! Thanks to Sara of NoPatternRequired.com, I had an inkling of what kind of shade I should look for. And I finally lucked into a fiberglass shade on ebay a couple weeks ago. To connect the shade, the lamp had to come apart, which meant rewiring. Rewiring the lamp took longer than I expected, because the wire cord had to pass through the lamp arm and make a really sharp turn before coming out at the top. I used some WD-40 spray to help the cord through the arm, and soon enough I had it rewired. I have never had the lamp arm attached to this before, and I've had it so long I could not recall how the thing attached, but from what I can tell, this angled orientation is probably how it was. I've never seen another one of these, but Sara had seen one in Texas but didn't have a photo. She described it from memory and that was enough to get me on the right track. THANKS Sara!!!
