A stunning, light-drenched Upper East Side living room seen from a slight elevation. Anastasia Sterling-Crane, a woman in her early 50s with platinum blonde hair in a perfect chignon, sits gracefully on a charcoal velvet sofa in a cream silk blouse. In her lap rests Bijou, a pristine white Persian cat with an impossibly fluffy coat and a characteristically flat, regal face. Anastasia's hand rests lightly on Bijou's back, a single gold bangle catching the light. Beside them stands a sculptural designer cat tree of pale birch and cream wool felt — clearly a piece of furniture, not a pet accessory. On a mid-century marble coffee table sits a hand-thrown ceramic cat bowl and a single white orchid. Floor-to-ceiling windows reveal a glimpse of Manhattan rooftops. The late afternoon light is soft, golden, and editorial. Style: Architectural Digest cover shoot, aspirational luxury, warm yet impossibly chic.
