Alex Papachristidis is a proudly old school decorator of the Upper East Side tradition—he can often be seen on Park Avenue in a crisp blue blazer, bag of samples in hand. But Papachristidis has also embraced 21st century entrepreneurship, with a popular Instagram account and the launch of a tabletop line, Everyday Elegance. On this episode of the podcast he speaks with host Dennis Scully about how growing up a city kid influenced his outlook, why he doesn’t gatekeep vendors, and why being a great decorator comes down to one thing: paying attention.
