Ms. Williams, a decorator who — as you would know if you had been invited — got her start with Albert Hadley and Sister Parish, provided the wry commentary to Mr. Stubbs’s rollicking, dishy spritz: “One lesson I learned from Albert and Mrs. Parish, when you install a job, you install a job in one day, not a sofa one day, a lamp the next week. It never looks good until it is a whole. You always want to make magic, and the magic comes with finishing it.”
“With my upper-end kinds of projects,” Mr. Stubbs added, “I put my clients up at the Four Seasons.”
It is rather moving to see genuine awe descend upon a room of sophisticated New Yorkers, Ms. Williams included. “I don’t do that,” she said.
“I used to work at the Four Seasons,” Mr. Stubbs said. “The Four Seasons says ‘yes’ to everything and then figures out how to bill for it. You all go, ‘Oooh, I’m not going to spend that kind of money.’ Just figure out how to bill for it!”
“That sofa just got a little more expensive,” Ms. Williams said.
