Yesterday I hit NY NOW a to the trade market full of home furnishings and gift items with Roxy from Society Social!
Our first stop was saying hello to our friend Bailey who runs Biscuit. I have known Bailey for years, but we have never had a chance to meet in person. It was great to finally meet and give her a squeeze. She is just as sweet in person and the entire Biscuit team was lovely.
We continued walking the floor and found our next favorite find! Lacquered boxes, which I know are everywhere now, but these had a beautiful contrasting color border on them.
In our next stop I found elephants! Adorable! I believe you will be able to purchase them at Society Social in the near future.
We had fun talking with the folks at Guildery. Guildery is a company where you can purchase fabrics in the beautiful patterns they have created and put them in whatever colorway you like. They can also print any design you come up with.
My chic shopping partner checking out the feel of the fabric.
Then we took a little break at Mr. Brown to rest our feet and met up with Rae from Rae McConville Interiors and Justin from Justin Shaulis.
Rae had a lot of favorite Australian designers that she wanted to check out in person. This booth was one of our first stops together. We loved all of their rugs and pillows and I believe Ms. Roxy may be adding these as well to her shop. So stay tune if you see something you want to purchase.
Pehr is a brand I recently found during a visit to Terrain and their booth was lovely.
August Morgan had adorable elephant throws:
Lifeguard Press had a beautiful booth with amazing lighting that totally drew me in.
They had an amazing assortment of Kate Spade items:
Of course I had to end my trip with another elephant find!
It was so much fun! I normally do market by myself so it was nice to have a group of people to walk around with. Loved hanging out with Roxy, Rae and Justin all day! Sadly we had to part ways when they went off for cocktails, because this momma needed to catch a train and get home and relieve the grandparents from their babysitting duties.
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
Those lights are fantastic! I also LOVE the concept behind Guildery. Often I wish some schumacher prints were in slightly different color schemes- this would be the the perfect solution to the pattern vs. perfect color issue!
