About Us

Meet Shannon

Raise a glass! Take it all in: fresh beautiful florals, a sumptuous spread fit for royalty, shimmering light reflecting off crystal, silver, and mirrors. Shadows that intrigue, music that remember, candles that burn… Joie de vivre permeates, while the warm smiles on the faces of your friends uniquely decorates the evening. Every detail, every corner is graced with splendor with only one undeniable focus: you. Welcome to my home.

Friends Are Coming, and I’ve been preparing for this moment my entire life. It’s my nature, centering life around entertaining and design and serving people. I can’t image a higher ambition. My studies at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, and constant travels through New York, London and Paris continues to offer a fresh view to this dream I call life. Sharing what I love with those I love is an insatiable passion, one that makes me a better friend, mother, sister, daughter, and wife. Come join me and let’s discover a beautiful life, together. Because, well, your Friends Are Coming, too.

Meet Vimy

It’s not just a house, it’s your home. And, you’ve invited friends over. You know, the people who know where the bodies are buried. These are your people. This is intimate. This is not an evening of perfection, it’s an evening of distinction. From laughter to tears, and laughter—through tear (best emotion, ever), memories are about to be made, and if not for you—none of it happens. Not like this, in the light of your home, by your hands. This is an opportunity for particularity: yours! Everyone’s looking forward to it, and, Friends Are Coming, is here to help!

Consider the chic and ritzy Boutique Hotels of NYC. The dimmed lighting, crisp linens, fresh florals. The fine wines, hand-crafted martinis, smoky scotch on-the-rocks. Rich wood floors, crystal chandeliers, smooth marble countertops. Are you there? Can you feel it? With a formal education in Interior Design, and steeped in more cooking classes than I can count, I’ve spent years creating Boutique Hotel Interiors for homes, and filling the sexy and swanky spaces with wonderful foods and incredible people. It is my great pleasure sharing this stylish design and lifestyle with, Friends Are Coming. Here, we offer a fresh and fearless approach to hospitality and design! We celebrate everything beautiful: intimacy, style, laughter, friendship and family. Come, join the fun.  It’s going to get good!
