New York - a favorite haunt of designers, artists, artisans, decorators, and architects

from around the globe - never ceases to enchant us with its wealth of exceptional spaces.

From a luxury apartment with magnificent paneling hung with old master paintings, to

a glassed-in eagles' nest perched atop an art deco skyscraper, or a delightful brownstone

with a private garden worthy of a picturesque country village, the Big Apple captivates

and seduces its visitors.

Imbued with the spirit of this multifarious city. Barbara and René Stoeltie take readers

on a personalized journey through seventeen New York interiors that reflect the diversity

and eclecticism of the city's inhabitants and provide endless inspiration for contemporary

interiors.
