This year, I was invited as a VIP buyer to attend the NY Now show held at the Javits Center hoping to find unique pieces for clients and the shop.  I powered through the large convention center reviewing the 2,300 brands that were on display from all over the world.  Needless to say, I walked for miles according to my phone and scored big with selections from new companies.

It’s that time of year again and the spotlight is on High Point, NC to see what the industry is buzzing about. I love to investigate the trends and find pieces that stand out. This season, I was drawn to unique shapes and details. There was an organic textural feel with creative material use. My favorites here have a sculptural sensibility that create artful focal points in a space.

I am a firm believer that every space should have something that is a bit unexpected to provide some visual interest. These elements create conversation and provide whimsy to a room.A great example are these ottomans.

I had a productive trip to Atlanta to attend their summer home show. This market primarily features decorative accessories and gift items however furniture showrooms are also there. As you know, I am always on the search for unique things that are fresh and sophisticated.

Horn is one of the chicest, most stylish materials used in home decor and furniture in my opinion. It has a timeless sophistication that can feel right at home in many design aesthetics.
