In with the Old
“This is my mom
and my sister in 1967.
Our family loved the
beach. This moment is
just like my sister; she
was and always is so
great to my mom. I love
my mom’s glasses.
And today at 82 she
is still a fashionista!”

November is the year’s golden hour—a month seemingly
tailor-made for reminiscing. And if you’re an old-soul sort, you’re in good
company. Ride carriage-side as a NYC designer trades big city bustle
for peace, quiet, and petticoats (pg. 54) as Colonial Williamsburg’s first
designer-in-residence; sit a spell with an antiques-loving museum
curator (pg. 62) who infused her 158-year-old home with period patina; and
take heart that tastemakers are bidding farewell to fiberboard,
and grandma’s mahogany (pg. 72) is trending. You’ll also encounter “instant
ancestors” courtesy of aged oil portraits (pg. 80), discover
hues with history (pg. 86), and meet a kindred spirit on a mission to
save family photos. Because November’s not just a month but a feeling.
And is it any wonder autumn is the most sepia-toned of seasons?
