Fun-Only Zone
Mari Kirwood Bird has been applying her unique gift for combining fine workmanship, color and design sensibilities into custom interiors for a couple of decades; in the past eighteen months, she's been decorating fun-loving humans. At her boutique Willow Wood, she'll help you nail the perfect look for leisure. "I've always been known for my love of the old classics of Palm Beach attire: Jack Roger sandals, Indian tunics, the whole well-traveled preppy thing," she says. "Willow Wood is everything for fun and travel, no work clothes included—just everything you need for a country weekend, a Caribbean beach vacation, the ski slopes and apres-ski." Kirwood Bird scopes out the latest resort looks on wintertime retreats to Lake Placid for skiing and Delray Beach and the Keys for sunshine. "Maybe that's where I get my love of resortwear," she says. "I felt this was something Rhinebeck would enjoy and have as much fun exploring as I did."
