In collaboration with the Friends of the Upper East Side, join us for an evening with Ingrid Abramovitch, author of Restoring a House in the City, a new book about renovating and decorating townhouses and brownstones. Abramovitch, a former editor at House & Garden who writes widely on design and architecture for magazines including Elle Décor, will give a slide presentation with a selection of photographs of the 21 houses in the book, including the New York City homes of actress Julianne Moore and Marc Jacobs’ president Robert Duffy. She will also offer ideas and advice for renovating or decorating any older apartment or home.
