  • There's nothing more delightful than entertaining at home and to debut our new "Setting the Table with" video series, we asked none other than style maven Marian McEvoy. From a distinguished early career in fashion as the Paris fashion editor for WWD, Marian became the founding editor in chief of ELLE DECOR, where she grew the magazine into a tour de force in the design community. With a passion for all things design including her amazing craft creations, she is a total original. Please join us for a visit at Marian's charming Hudson River Valley home to get schooled in the art of the table! For more visit quintessenceblog.com/setting-...
