On International Women's Day we honor a Master of Design: Kathryn Scott on Patina from an essay in Carl Dellatore's Interior Design Master Class: "..I search to express the beauty of life through purposeful curation. [..] Selectively using objects or materials with patina, whether antique furnishings or worn architectural surfaces, makes them feel more precious since their condition reamins as a cherished memory, a history we wish to remember. [..] Even a faithful reproduction of a beautifully worn surface cannot be made as rich as the authentic one formed by time because it does not reflect the history of a place."

Designer Kathryn Scott’s stunning brownstone in Brooklyn Heights rather silenced us with its perfection, combining Asian influences with antiques from Kathryn’s family and art by both her and her artist husband, Wenda Gu.
