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!!

2010 Hampton Designer Showhouse

The 10th Annual Hampton Designer Showhouse opened on Sunday, July 25th. Presented by Traditional Home magazine and benefiting the Southampton Hospital, this year's home is AMAZING! We at Century were THRILLED when approached by Nancy Pearson to work with her on the kitchen porch. Not only is Nancy a very talented designer but she's super sweet and so much fun to work with! We loved how she mixed our Riviera and Chatsworth collections (all 100% outdoor) in white with the bright purple & pink ikat pillows, chic garden stools and saffron china.

Who wouldn't want to spend a summer afternoon on this porch?


The Riviera sectional is shown above with our white, sailcloth fabric on the "half skirt" slipcovers. There are additional seating (sofa, chair, ottoman, cocktail and end tables) and dining (dining tables, chairs and barstools) pieces available. This collection can be done in any of our in-line fabrics (as well as COM) and the frame can be finished in 5 paint finishes: cloud, sky,crimson, jet, meadow and cafe. And did I mention it is 100% outdoor - it is!

Here are some additional pictures of the collection:
