Elle Decor: July/August 2011

Is it me or are this month's shelter magazines just incredible? I'd offer to loan you mine to peruse but I've torn them to pieces; saving pages for my various inspiration folders. Again, is it me or does everyone do that?

This month's Elle Decor is another wonderful read, I especially loved Celerie Kemble's transformation of an Upper East Side Townhouse. So gorgeous! And of course I am partial to the dining room especially since they used our Oscar de la Renta #609-306 Radial Table.


This story's gone straight into my "Personal" inspiration file. How I would love to have a home just like this! (At least I've already got a lead on the dining table ....)

Traditional Home: July/August 2011

I loved this month's issue of Traditional Home, it was wonderful to see all the rooms from last year's Hampton Showhouse which Traditional Home sponsors. I am so excited for this year's showhouse, which opens on the 23rd of July. Our New York City showroom manager got a sneak peak last weekend and said it was amazing!

We had such a great experience at last year's showhouse, working with Nancy Pearson on the back porch. Pictured above, lower left corner; Nancy used our Riviera Collection (sectional and dining chair in foreground), mixing in one of our Chatsworth Web Dining Table. It was a gorgeous space and it was so nice to see it included in the spread.

Speaking of fabulous outdoor settings, how beautiful is Beverly Farrington's terrace in Huntsville, Alabama? I was admiring the story and then did a double take as I noticed our Orient Collection arm chairs (pictured above). What a great setting!

These chairs really are wonderful - so comfortable, great lines, 100% outdoor AND they are available in six different finishes.

Traditional Home always has really great market reports, showing a wide range of products - what's new and great. We were thrilled to have our Bob Timberlake Cabin Chair & Ottoman featured. What a fun chair, I love these personality pieces.

Don't miss Traditional Home's "Best of Showhouse" issue - its the next best thing to being there!!

Architectural Digest: August 2011

There is nothing I love more than a summer day on the beach or by the pool with a stack of magazines to devour. And this summer's issues have not disappointed .... what amazing homes, products and features, bravo!

Speaking of a spectacular setting, you must see the cover of newest issue of Architectural Digest. Sitting by that pool my AD in hand, what a dream!

Don't miss this issue, and don't miss the "AD Discoveries" section which features our Juan Montoya for Century Icons Etagere. One of my favorite pieces from the collection and they've done a great job presenting it. We're thrilled! This piece is available through the trade, please contact one of our showrooms for more information.


And speaking of wonderful settings to enjoy your August AD, take a look at Gil Schafer's project in Litchfield Country CT. What an amazing house and it features our Punta Cana outdoor collection on the terrace. For more details on this and all our outdoor collections click here.



Enjoy!!
