Inside an Elegant Upper East Side Apartment with Old New York Glamour

On Manhattan’s Upper East Side, interior designer Sallie Giordano transformed a once understated apartment into an elegant pied-à-terre inspired by the glamour of Art Deco New York.

Through graceful archways, rich walnut, vintage furnishings, and carefully considered architectural details, she created the feeling of a storied prewar home while making every inch work beautifully for modern life.

Drawing on three decades in design and a lifelong education from her mother, celebrated decorator Leta Austin Foster, Sally proves that the most compelling interiors are shaped by a discerning mix of history, practicality, and pieces collected over time.
