We are thrilled to kick off a new season with a guest who is the fifth-generation creative leader of an incredible 125 year-old family business: Jennifer Gracie. GRACIE creates some of the most beautiful and beloved custom hand-painted wallpapers in the world. Utilized by many esteemed designers and celebrities around the globe.

Founded in 1898, here in New York City, James Gracie originally sold custom lamps and home furnishings, until the 1920s, when they began to offer Chinese and Japanese furniture, screens, and porcelain. Soon after, it became the first company to import hand painted wallpapers to the United States since the 1700’s. Today, the studio has showrooms in New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas, with several exclusive collaborations with luxury companies such as Aerin, Estee Lauder, Sarah Flint Shoes, and more.

Our guest this week is Gracie's Creative Director, Jennifer, who oversees the company’s day-to-day operations, social media, new collections, inspirations for custom projects and more. Alongside her brother and President, Mike, and Jenn’s son and Sales Director, Zach Shea, they continue to carry out Charles R. Gracie’s legacy and maintain the family’s generations-long commitment to exceptional design.

“The Art of Gracie”, available now from Rizolli, is a glorious celebration of America’s most storied hand painted wallpaper company, family owned for 125 years, featuring dozens of rooms by today’s top interior designers.
