Twilight Bay - Twilight Zone?

This is a new collection and on my selling floor at work.

The finish color is fabulous.

'DRIFTWOOD'

It is right on target with the new design trends.....

but is it too early for the general public?

The finish is sandblasted wood.

It is VERY textured 

and very smooth.

But it looks rough.

It takes the finish beautifully.

'Stool Love'

{hahahahah}

No,

really I love these stools.

They are sooooo industrial.

And they come counter height. and bar height.

Both the counter height table and this cocktail table

are toped with burnished stainless steel.

Extremely exciting to me.

It is a nice change from every other durable top.

This does scratch so

No Brillo please!

These chests come in two different sizes. 

The larger one 

{in the middle}

is designed to house media.

I think if we design bloggers could arrange to have all people 

wear sleeping helmets that played over and over 

our ideas regarding interior design-

People {the general public} just might finally  'get it.'

You know,

 the furniture companies are listening to design bloggers

when they design their new lines.

I think it would only be fair and balanced if we could pass out 

our very own 'design trend sleeping helmets'

Zip It, And Forget It

This bed comes in 13 colors and is stain resistant.

The perfect bed to get into

Zip up

And forget the rest of the world.

….Maybe.

It reminds me of a giant poofie sleeping bag.

Crazy right?

Mirror Mirror

Lately I have been wondering, and actually thinking a great deal about this....

Is it more important how the world sees you

Or

How you see yourself ?

your thoughts...?

Saturday Morning I will Be here

In My Office

***

I wanted to show you a few things on the show room floor where I work.

that I love.

I an quite passionate about 'Theodore Alexander' products.

This is one of them.

The is a tiny ladies desk/make-up table.

The quality rivals 'Baker'

...actually I think it is the nest quality that you can access in the United States.

And the price is reasonable for the craftsmanship, materials used,

 and the design.

Century Furniture

Gorgeous.

This is a chinoiserie desk by Century.

It is a beauty.

Another Theodore Alexander piece.

The  Chinoiserie that they do is exquisite.

They have a whole series of pieces.

This chest in new from Lexington

And if you are looking for a great cocktail table stylized from a trunk.... 

This one is perfect.

Have a great day.

What is your opinion on the pieces I featured?

P.S. my office is very neat in that image.

There will be fabrics strewn all over by 4pm on Saturday.

I hope.

That means I am busy.

Busy is good!

Clare's House

Check out every little detail.

There is so much to take in.

You can read the complete article if you click on the link at the bottom of this post. 

"Clare Fraser seeks to create the comfort and warmth she so prizes by favoring French furniture, antiques, rich fabrics and wall coverings. It might not be making the cover of Wallpaper magazine any time soon but then, given the pendulum swings of taste, you never know … and in the meantime she is not short of clients looking for this kind of elegance. She was honest about how connections and privilege have helped her along the way but they only take you so far. She may well fit the description ‘lady decorator’ but that doesn’t mean that she’s playing at it – she’s the real deal."

The floors and her collections displayed through out her home,

make this living treasure....A HOME!

Love the walls in this hall?

Do you love this room?

I do.

Is this too traditional for you?

It is so NYC.

I try my best to look at a 'thing' or at a setting and take away the part that

I DID LIKE.

What did you like?

Guest Blogger Buster Barman Is Back

Hi

I am Buster Barman 

my dad is a super famous designer based in NYC

DUH....!

John Barman installed a retractable, floor-to-ceiling door between the previously boxy spaces of his 1,500-square-foot Miami Beach apartment to allow immediate ocean views from every room. In the living area, Barman placed Thonet chairs from the 1950s and vintage accessories.

My daddy is John Barman.

He recently designed our new home in Miami Beach, 

it ended up on the September cover 

of Architectural Digest. 

That's my dad

John Barman, 

 designer extraordinaire!

I think it is spectacular. 

The colors are fun and happy.

Everything is bright and clean.

{i better steer clear of the carpets...or else}

This is where I hang out when my dad is entertaining.

The kitchen.

Occasionally someone looks the other way and I can 

steel a tidbit or two. 

Dad has hidden the sub zero behind cabinetry.

Do you like?

Architectural Digest did!

Another carpet to steer clear of!!!

...but it looks inviting.

Dad raised the ceilings in this room to 15 delicious feet.

How is that for a view?

This is the last room in the house to show you.

It is a combination office/guest room.

Lucky guests huh?

When dad is gone 

I nap on this bed 

and watch the action down on the beach.
