An architect and a designer walk into a bar… Elizabeth Lawrence and Scott J. Sottile set the scene at the 2026 San Francisco Fall Show with this elegant speakeasy vignette featuring Schumacher’s Etti Waterlily wallcovering in Warm Gold by Patterson.

With special thanks to Dr. Elisa Stephens and Jana Memel of the Academy of Art University for arranging to capture this wonderful footage.

One of the things I cherish most about being part of this incredible design industry is the people it has brought into my life.

What a gift to do something I love and to be surrounded by such extraordinary human beings along the way. The creativity, the laughter, the kindness, the friendships… it’s what makes this industry so special to me.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about the beautiful things we create, but the beautiful connections we make.

And goodness knows, the world could use a little more friendship, kindness, and love right now. ♥️

Feeling especially grateful for all of it. xoxo

One of my favorite weeks of the year. 🌟

The San Francisco Fall Show is happening now through Sunday, October 18th at Fort Mason Center. This is the leading art, antiques, and design fair on the West Coast and this year’s theme is Métallique Chic! Yassss ✨ Think gold leaf, copper patina, silver filigree, burnished surfaces..

So thrilled that AAPIDA is a cultural partner of the Fall Show this year. If you love design, art, or beautiful objects, this one is good for the soul and the inspiration bank.

Tickets are available on Eventbrite, just search SF Fall Show 2026. Ping me if you’re going!

A day devoted to thoughtful design in the heart of Beacon Hill 🧱

On October 1, Astrid joined Beacon Hill Design Day in Boston, presented by Beacon Hill Books and the @BostonAthenaeum. The gathering brought together leading authors and designers to explore the craft, ideas, and enduring principles behind exceptional interiors and gardens.

Astrid shared, “Beacon Hill Design Day is a wonderful reminder that great interiors and fine art belong in conversation. I love seeing how designers bring art into a room in ways that feel personal, thoughtful, and entirely at home in Boston.”

For Fortress, being part of this community means staying close to the people and perspectives shaping beautiful spaces, and the care that goes into every detail.

Collected & Cultivated – Creating Rooms with Character

What transforms a house into a home of enduring character? Join celebrated design pros Cathy Kincaid, Elizabeth Lawrence, and Scott J. Sottile as they explore the art of creating spaces that are as beautiful as they are livable. Drawing on a shared appreciation for architecture, antiques, and art, they will discuss how thoughtful details, treasured objects, and layers of history bring warmth, comfort, and personality to a room. From grand statements to subtle nuances, stylist, author and US editor of Homes & Gardens UK Benjamin Reynaert will moderate this elegant conversation, revealing how the finest interiors are not merely decorated—they are collected, cultivated, and deeply lived in.

Immediately following the lecture, please join us for book signings in the Authors’ Alcove, featuring:
Cathy Kincaid – Cathy Kincaid Memorable Rooms: Artisanal Collaborations (Rizzoli, 2026)
Elizabeth Lawrence – Bunny Williams and Elizabeth Lawrence: Decoration (Rizzoli, 2026)
Scott J. Sottile – Transformations: Houses, Places, Stories: Ferguson & Shamamian Architects (Rizzoli, 2026)
Benjamin Reynaert – The Layered Home (Penguin Random House, 2026)
