I consider myself to be undeniably blessed and most fortunate to have so many wonderful people in my life. Ever since I started All the Best it seems as if the best of all worlds have collided and I am the lucky recipient of its offerings. Of course I am most grateful for the support of my husband and son, both who encourage me on a daily basis.
Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of corresponding with so many fantastic readers and industry icons, several of whom have become close friends. Not only have I benefited from these remarkable friendships, but my family has as well. This year Thomas Burak and Michael Devine, two of the most gracious men I know, invited us to New York for Thanksgiving. It was one of our finest Thanksgivings in recent memory—delicious food and libations, gorgeous surroundings, a stunning view of the Empire State Building, a crackling fire, enlightened conversation, laughter and great friends. Thank you Thomas and Michael you truly are the best!

Their apt. is drool worthy! Glad your Thanksgiving was wonderful.
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! It looks like you did. Your friends have a lovely home and your son is adorable. Not sure which one is your husband? Katee
I would have been PINCHING myself, over them, AND your family and that wonderful, warm apartment. How exciting was that? And that view. Your son looks like a 50/50 version of you both!
Glad you had a great time.
Truly, a Thanksgiving you will never forget! What a lovely apartment, and how gracious of Michael to invite you and your family.
Your son is adorable. Is he a redhead? It looks like it from the pictures. He actually looks quite British!
Thanks Katee! My husband is the one in the second photo from the bottom.
Kevin is was a wonderful Thanksgiving -everything was perfect! Just good friends and NO family drama! Ha! Ha!
Thank you Things That Inspire! He is more of a strawberry blonde, and you are right, he looks quite British. He fits in well living in Scotland.
I agree your son looks British – and he’s really a Texan (don’t let him forget the Alamo! haha!)
That apartment – omg – the banquette – the chairs – the wall with the blackamoors – it is stunning – truly! I wish I could have been there with y’all!!!! It looks so wonderful.
Joni you would have loved their apartment! No, we will never let him forget!!
Ronda, excuse me in advance for saying this but your hubby is a hottie!
xoxo,
Katee
No apologize necessary!! I think so too!
Looks like a great time was had by all!
What handsome boys/men you have in your family! Glad you had such a nice Thanksgiving.
Just wondering what was the most memorable part of this exquisite moment! I think the wall color is divine and one would have found me sketching fast and furiously in some corner!
Thanks for sharing your NY Thanksgiving!
What a beautiful tablescape and home! It looks like a wonderful Thanksgiving to spend with golden friends and your priceless men in NY!

Her designs are the BEST!!!
I live in Manhattan and OH MY GOD that apartment of theirs is truly of the high end. I have a cute pad of my own but it is nowhere near the sumptuousness of that space. WOW!
