"MARTYN BULLARD\n\n My most recent acquisition for my home is a 17th century Tibetan Buddha made of carved white marble. It is a beautiful sculpture that calms me the moment I look at it knowing it has been worshiped and loved for centuries.\n\nTIMOTHY CORRIGAN\n\n An enormous 1940s 10-foot long limed-oak table by Jean-Charles Moreaux that I am using as a center table in my entry hall; I love the strong, clean lines mixed with some of my more refined and ornate antique furniture.\n\nGEOFFREY BRADFIELD\n\n I was in St. Martin and came across a piece by the Mexican sculptor Zatarain, whom I admire. I already own two of his pieces, so the collection is growing.\n\nELLIE CULLMAN\n\n Continuing my love affair with Asian art and artifacts, I have just purchased my first object from Cambodia. It's a four headed sculpture of Brahma, in gray sandstone, 10th-century, with long almond shaped eyes and serene expressions on all the faces. I put it in my dining room, which is lined with 18th-century Chinese paper. It sits on top of an English Regency chinoiserie chest.\n\nSALLY SIRKIN LEWIS\n\n The Sally Sirkin Lewis \"Paris II\" desk.\n\nMARIETTE HOMES GOMEZ\n\n I recently bought a large-scale photograph by Seton Smith after admiring her work for years. It changed my whole living room and always makes me smile. A wonderful piece of art can do both.\n\nWILLIAM HODGINS\n\n Handsome wide striped slipcovers.\n\nPAUL WISEMAN\n\n An Edwin Lutyens Octagonal Table.\n\nDONNA LIVINGSTON\n\n I have been researching 40s French Deco for our new home. I have been able to find several elements of this era. My favorite piece is a 1930s French chandelier that we just purchased for our master suite.\n\nSUZANNE LOVELL\n\n Herm\u00E9s leather woven throw.\n\nRON MANN\n\n For Louise's apartment in Puerto Vallarta, I bought a rusted oil drum at a local construction site. It's now a sculptural pedestal holding a gorgeous \"Blue Man\" clay sculpture by Brewster Brockman. The construction workers at the site convulsed with laughter when I asked to buy it. I had the last laugh.\n\nJUAN MONTOYA\n\n A wonderful sculpture by Swedish artist Eva Hild.\n\nWALLACE CUNNINGHAM\n\n Two large Jeff Divine surf photographs, two \"Torrey Pines\" needle baskets by Fran Kraynek Prince and Neil Prince, and one Marc Newson Wooden Chair from Cappellini\u2014all purchased on the same day.\n\nTHAD HAYES\n\n I recently purchased an amazing 1790s mahogany four poster bed which I'm selling and will replace with a simple rectangular headboard and a very comfortable custom mattress. Comfort, style, comfort.\n\nLAURA HUNT\n\n A large painting I found in Santa Fe by Sheldon Harvey, a young Navaho artist.\n\nROBERT COUTURIER\n\n I just bought a magnificent George Bellows full size nude painting of a woman, dated 1906, that he had kept in his own personal collection. A very dark and brooding work, strangely reminiscent of some later works of Goya. Really a wonderful painting of which I am inordinately proud.\n\nCECIL HAYES\n\n The most recent item I purchased for my home was a beautiful painting that I found while vacationing in Argentina.\n\nCARLETON VARNEY\n\n A Robert Julio sculpture.\n\nJACQUES ST. DIZIER\n\n Oddly enough it was a sofa-back console for my living room. It flips open to become a dining table and it allows me to occasionally eat and watch TV. Since the only TV in the house is in the living room, I can allow myself this indulgence without leaning over the coffee table.\n\nKARIN BLAKE\n\n A fabulous industrial steel factory lift that can be cranked up to dining table height or lowered for a coffee table.\n\nWILLIAM GEORGIS\n\n A Jack Pierson word piece sculpture entitled Lover and a 19th century life size plaster corpus.\n\nRODERICK SHADE\n\n A 4'x6' vintage movie poster\u2014from the movie Superfly.\n\nSTEPHEN SHADLEY\n\n I designed a wall-hung cabinet to go below a flat screen TV hung on the wall of my bedroom. It holds the equipment but also balances the mass of the TV. You don't need to hide the TV anymore!\n\nMITCHELL TURNBOUGH\n\n The most recent item I acquired for my own home is a nearly complete bound collection of National Geographic magazine. I will never be without something to read and interesting subject matter to talk about.\n\nPENNY DRUE BAIRD\n\n An unusual silver and wood footed bowl for a center piece, with silver top and bottom joined by a carved walnut stem, signed by Ercuise from St. Tropez flea market."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
