Libby has just completed the interior design of the new restaurant in New York City called "La Masseria". Working closely with the owners, she worked on all design aspects of the restaurant, she did everything from working with the architect and the builders to even designing the logo. She achieved the Italian farmhouse feel by incorporating stone, distressed wood and textured plaster walls in her design. She acessorized with authentic Italian platters, black and white photographs and aged farm tools. The look is authentic masseria, rustic yet warm and inviting.
Libby also loves to cook, her recipes have appeared in Bon Apetit magazine and one of her recipes was featured on the cover of the 1994 July issue. She has also appeared in Food and Wine magazine. Her home in Long Island was photographed for Mary Emmerling's book called "Romantic Country". Living In New York City and Long Island, Libby has cooked and entertained some of the top chef's and restaurateurs in New York City, including Charlie Palmer (Aureole), Bobby Flay (Mesa Grill), Jimmy Bradley (The Red Cat), Gerry Hayden (Amuse) and Claudia Fleming (Gramercy Tavern). She has also planned and executed numerous events and parties, ranging from a film premiere for 500 guests in Los Angeles to a Wedding on Long Island, and she does it all with style and ease.
