A NEW PROJECT: SMALL SPACE SAVERS




We have a lovely new project on the West Side in NYC.  It is a studio in a beautiful building that we are going to try to make homey, stylish & chic.  Our first task was to find an itty bitty console table for the main wall to create an entry.  After scouring our sources are favorite are below...

My favorite above is the faux, ostrich piece from an adorable online store called Society Social.  It's inexpensive and makes such a statement in that bold color.  If we don't go with one of the above we love the idea of a small, custom, skirted tables (clearly we're love our skirted tables- showhouse pics). 
An example of one is below.

How adorable?  I love the trim and everything about it.

Enjoy your weekend!  
My family is headed out to Southampton... will post some pics on instagram so check them out.

A FAB FIND




While shopping in the town of Southampton a few weeks ago I met a wonderful woman named Nancy Corbett.  She told me about her bespoke company, Corbett Wright.  They make beautiful, sophisticated, but fun pieces.  

This amazing shagreen console is so unique & special.  
I hope to place it in one of our clients homes in the near future.

In love with this faux ostrich vanity stool...  
Perhaps a personal purchase is needed.

All of the pieces are so beautiful and cool.

ADVENTURES IN SHOWCASING






It's been a while since we've posted, but we've had a bunch of projects, family commitments and we've just been bussssssy, busy.  Right now we are installing 2 jobs and also working on the Hampton Designer Showhouse!  It is so exciting to be a part of a show with such an amazing group of designers.  I feel blessed.  Dee and I chose to do the entry and have had some bumps along the way.  After falling in love with three pieces of furniture & selecting all of our fabrics to go with these pieces- they were sold right out from under us.  So now, with one week until final install- we are in search of new items.  We're stressed to say the least, but know it will come together in the end.

Here are some pic's of our adventure so far...
