Recap

So after an interesting adventure on a good 'ole MTA cross town bus Friday afternoon, I made it to the Architectural Digest Design Home Show at Pier 94. I convinced Adam to tag along and we met up with my good friend Chelsea (check out her blog here. She is so talented!)


A section of the show was featured Dinning By Design. 45 tabletop designs were featured by the likes of Ralph Lauren Home to Benjamin Moore Paints. A silent auction was held on Thursday night and the proceeds benefited the DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS).

Above is a picture of the Kravet table. (Sorry the picture is so dark).

Fancy. Fancy. I loved looking at all of the beautiful rugs and carpets.

Cute Chelsea! Hey, we were just dreaming of lounging on a beach somewhere!

There were all kinds of vendors. Stone, hardware, lighting, etc...

But, I must say that I was blown away by

DesignRed. I had never see their work before and found it to be absolutely brilliant.

DesignRed is a decorative painting firm and the pictures below speak for themselves.

The attention to detail and the uniqueness of their painting are simply amazing.

Please check out their site.

The Spring calender is quickly filling up and there are many more fun events ahead. I will be sure to share pictures.

Happy Tuesday!

Kelly Wearstler for Sferra

Sferra Brothers is known for their traditional, but beautiful bedding and tabletop linens. They have recently joined forces with the design superstar, Kelly Wearstler. Kelly is known for her luxurious contemporary interiors. I had the chance to visit with her on my last trip to New York and see first hand her new designs for Sferra.

Did any of you watch Top Design? I think this look is much more fitting than the crazy beehive she sported one episode!

The collection includes bedding, throws, pillows, and tabletop...all with Kelly's unique twist.

I absolutely love this upholstered bed. It is even more fabulous in person.

yummy cashmere throws

A perfect combination of colors. So sophisticated.

Vietri

Are you familiar with Vietri? With a "fairytale" beginning, Vietri has emerged as a favorite in tableware. Lee Gravely and her two daughters started the company after an inspirational trip to Italy twenty years ago.

I remember the day I went to register for my wedding. I was so excited about the Incanto pattern that I chose and I love it just as much today as I did when I first saw it. The classic, all white collection is so versatile. It is the perfect pattern to mix and match with a variety of tabletop accessories. At Christmas add a dash of red or in the spring mix in bright green or a subtle lavender. Each piece is unique and handcrafted by Italian artisans. The footed bowls pictured above are my favorite.

Vierti just launched a new bath line in several of their top selling collections. Check out their website for a dealer near you and the enjoy browsing through their incredible line of products from mirrors to flatware. For all you brides to be, Vietri is an excellent choice for your everyday.
