The Luxury Space M AY 2 0 2 2 I S S U E
A few words from Tony Cutugno “I am attracted to beautiful things; I love them for what they are, not for their value or pedigree.” — Michael Trapp Living beautifully has always been highly personal for me. What does living beautifully mean to you? Do you enjoy surrounding yourself with objects with a history, or a connection to your family? Or do you prefer mixing your vintage flea market finds with the latest modern-day pieces? In my mind, the secret ingredient to living well is simple - surround yourself with things that you love. However, for lifelong collectors like myself, integrating our collections into our home environments can be a challenge. In her recent book, AT HOME WITH DESIGNERS & TASTEMAKERS, Susanna Salk provides an insider’s look at the homes of top designers and tastemakers. Brimming with personality, the featured rooms are full of creative ideas on how to embrace our style and passions in our own homes. Looking for inspiration beyond our borders? Do not miss Susanna’s YouTube series “Quintessence at Home “ where she visits beautiful homes from around the world. Not surprisingly, one of her sponsors is our own global partner, Luxury Portfolio International, a prestigious luxury real estate network that Private Brokerage works closely with to market our properties worldwide. From Bedford to Barcelona, this vast network allows us to connect our sellers with buyers on 6 continents in over 50 countries.
