I spent the rainy day at the Javitz Center yesterday checking out some of the new  furnishings at the ICFF. The International Contemporary Furniture Fair  attracts both well known furniture vendors, as well as small up and coming  companies from all over the world. It was great to see how much was coming from Brooklyn. From furniture to lighting to wall coverings, Brooklyn is the current hotbed of Indie design and manufacturing companies.

There were so many interesting pieces for kids. It was truly inspiring! Loved this Dutch designer’s storage units. They could work in a modern playroom or bedroom..

This Brooklyn company accommodates both commercial clients like kid spaces in  libraries to residential projects.

Love the light wiry feeling of this LA company.

Sculptural animal heads would look great in a kids room.

Beautiful English rug company.

So much wallpaper. Many had a very vintage feel..

This Canadian company’s grand central wall paper and New York City subway map would be great in a transportation themed room.

Love these large animal ottomans. They will definitely be in my online shop shortly..

This Italian company’s clocks were just so  whimsical. A chalkboard clock..

Knitted out of yarn. How nice for a baby’s nursery.

Ok gotta go…

See you..

Spend some time in the garden. Have a picnic. Tell your mom how much she means to you. Enjoy the family!

Happy Mother’s Day!

See you…

Last week we visited Saratoga Springs, NY for my son’s crewing regatta, as well as a visit with family.

You can see why Travel and Leisure magazine  calls Saratoga one of America’s greatest main streets. It is just beautiful and filled with interesting small business boutiques.

One very inspiring shop was the Saratoga Turkish Bazaar. It is filled with color and style.

These slightly sparkly light fixtures would add ambiance to a Bohemian baby’s nursery. They are a great alternative to the much used chandelier.

Use the lights as inspiration and build the room. Elizabeth Allen crib bedding works perfectly and is just beautiful.

A great Moroccan pouf for baby.

We could add a little more contemporary furniture, that still has more eastern design elements..

All products can be found at Cici Crib Main Street store. Find your design inspiration and build on it!

See you..
