Tangerine Tango is the pantone color for 2012! It is bold. A no apologies, fantastic orange…

Ducduc has forever used this color inside all of their casegoods..

Tangerine Tango is sprinkled throughout the shop. Art  for a baby’s nursery..

 Custom lamp in the great color…

Love these Euros..

Have a happy and healthy New Year!

See you…

Christmas is almost here. Even though the boys are teenagers, they are still counting down the days! I wanted to do a video holiday card for my blog, but it just got too complicated. I wanted to play this music box as the top whirls around. I purchased the music box from an Armonk estate sale many years ago. It is so worn and loved.

Every year I look forward to my sister’s present. Although I love the contents (we get the same gift every year- very special homemade soaps. My favorite is lavender,bergamot and lemon), it is her special wrapping that is just so beautiful. I love the vintage card.

Happy Holidays everyone!

See you…

We’ve already received lots of great reviews  for the new bedding in the shop. It is bedding that fits girls’ bedrooms with a modern or transitional twist.  One that can grow with your child. All beautifully made by Bebe Chic.

See you…

Just happen to be strolling by Macy’s the other day. No real crowds in front of the windows. I could actually look, peacefully…  It’s a magical time of year…

See you…

There are certain design elements that will have a permanent  room in my design brain. One is the work of Kyle Bunting. His group of designers create pieces from cowhide that are just spectacular. I remember seeing a rug  in Amanda Nisbet’s room at Kips Bay last Spring. See post.

At Highpoint I saw rugs that were Bunting-like. Mass produced, less expensive, but fulfill a niche.

But there is nothing like the real thing…

So beautiful.

See you…

We are getting all new merchandise in for the show this Friday and Saturday.We went looking for  unusual holiday gifts for kids.  Briati Jewelry will return with her very special fine jewelry for girls. She is bringing a nice collection of earrings both studs and drops for little ones.

Much more fun jewelry will be brought in. Feathers and little leather bracelets. Layer them like Chan Luu..

Bunches of these little bracelets make great inexpensive holiday gifts…

Slap watches that you can trade with your friends….

But some kids may want to get their hands dirty, Time for a dino dig..

Some little guys would prefer a softer dinosaur…

Hope to see you  this Friday and Saturday…
