Life resembles a novel more often than novels resemble life, There is not a particle of life which does not bear poetry within it. I was perched outside in the pouring rain, All they do is keep me waiting and waiting, I first saw Ben in a Jack Johnson music video playing a slide guitar. I loved being in that shed digging through porcelain shards and thinking about all the ways this dish had been used and loved by that family. I realized during my second year of Architecture school that I was different than my peers. I still ask 10,000 questions when I see something I don’t recognize or don’t know. In case you missed it, or did not watch Chateau de Lalande’s Cadeaux at the Chateau recently, Stephanie received the gift of a truly amazing, handmade “Sack Gown”..

Likewise she taught me that sometimes a really inexpensive but interesting vintage piece can be just as effective as a $10,000 piece from somewhere like Kentshire.

She knows about formal and gracious entertaining.

Can you talk about that experience for a minute? A little something for your ears to chew on. The album was inspired by the sudden death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore hence the album's title GrooGrux King, it was the nickname of the late Moore. His character Jimmy does not correspond with his music at all. Go to antique shows like the Wolfson Show.

Stephanie, obviously you grew up with art and antiques and your mother was a huge influence I’m sure, but when did you first know you wanted to be a designer? I love this band, they teeter between #1 and #2 on my list of top bands, they win the battle with John Mayer on occasion. Both Bunny and John have an incredible stylishness to their buying and collecting.

The projects were varied from classic Connecticut houses, to huge 5th Ave. duplexes, Main Line Philadelphia, Charlottesville horse farms, Aspen retreats, Hampton’s beach houses and Palm Beach mansions. I loved “stuff” in fact. You’ll be sure to find her on the hunt at this year’s Show. I felt very fortunate to get to sit down and “talk shop” with someone who is not just a mentor, but one of my very best friends. One of the greatest things about this album is that it is a completely independant project from the creation of each song to the unique marketing and distrubution methods. I get to work with a lot of designers in my business. Was it there from the beginning or was there a point when you realized your calling?

I mean you scour the country for clients, but is there anything for you personally that you still haven’t found?

I was truly more interested in the interiors, the details, the way one might live in a space than the actual construction of a building. Maybe it’s because it’s in her blood, maybe it’s because she holds degrees in both Art History and Architectural History from the University of Virginia, but I suspect it’s something much more than that. Many might use an antique here or there if a client really presses them.

She loves the hunt and isn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves and crawl around my workshop until we find that perfect piece of antique hardware or get just the right stain color.

The Show is a wonderful way to have some time to sit and have lunch or a night out and shop together for something special. We went to his workrooms, he toured me through some of his favorite finished projects, spent time on his patio talking about how much he loved his job and then he would tell me about what a gift it is to be able to do this for people. Come to the Prime Osborn and join us in celebrating the decade that started it all!
My personal favorite period is English Regency, or actually just about any continental piece from this early 19th c. period, Biedermeier, French, Russian and Italian Empire, Karl Johan. ▷ The Chateau Diaries 081: Christmas Comes Early!

The first time I heard this album was on vinyl and I have come to the conclusion that it is the only way to listen to In Rainbows. The thing I like most about this album is how fresh it is. Above all she taught me to do what you love, love what you do,  have pride in your work and believe in yourself.

Yes, of course. Antiques and Design with Stephanie Jarvis. I can’t say I have a favorite piece, I think sometimes I love the story behind the pieces more than the pieces themselves. Enjoy :).

When I booked my ticket to France I never imagined meeting someone… ▷ Sundays at the Chateau: Thanksgiving at the Chateau! Do you have a favorite period that you love to use pieces from? Not Stephanie Jarvis.

The uniqueness of old Italian paint can’t be replicated, the combinations of colors and form in old pieces can be an inspiration point for an entire project.

Rarely in my career have I seen a designer so willing to not only use antiques in her interiors, but who has the knowledge to go out and hunt them down for clients. I had never seen a slide guitar so I did a little research and found Mr. Harper along with his whole library of music. Aubrey Drake Graham is from Ontario Canada and starred on Degrassi which I thought was really interesting. There is nothing like a dream to create the future. Stephanie has a unique and deep sense of what makes a home a home. Is there something you are still on the hunt for?

Doing this work is not a formula, it is a passion and a love. ▷ The Chateau Diaries 078: Birthday Photoshoot at the Chateau! How do you think that time under Bunny and John Rosselli influenced your style? Ben Gibbard is slowly breaking my heart into tiny little pieces.

I recommend this record on Vinyl because it comes with an extra record with some fun covers.

No only is Ben a solo act but he also creates tunes with The Innocent Criminals and Relentless7.

It is a layering of items that give a home its soul. I loved having the opportunity to get something for myself with my husband being there also. The lyrics that got me were " Sweat pants, hair tied, chilling with no make up on, Thats when your the prettiest, I hope that you don take it wrong" from the track Best I Ever Had.

I'm some stain there on your bedsheet, You're my diamond in the rough.

I think especially today, when there is so much access, especially to new items, that people are scared to create something unique for themselves, and instead they re-create what they can see in a catalog or showroom.

You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking. What is your best advice to our readers who want to start to collect antiques but are afraid to brave the waters? It is weird because after giving all the songs a listen they have the same ol' Dave flavor but they leave a new after taste.

He was my college roommate’s step-father, and really took time to show me what his world was all about. Ha! I love a crazy unexpected piece like this.
