Conclusion: West Edge Design Fair

As promised, albeit late, the conclusion of the Design Fair!

One of the most interesting companies was Philomela www.philomelasWeb.com
They specialize in original, hand-drawn, painted and printed wallpaper and textiles.
There is a wide range of styles, from abstract and deconstructed, to modern and organic, offered in several colors.









Another exciting company we came across is Sorelle Fine Arts http://www.sorellefinearts.com
They create beautiful wallcoverings with gorgeous hand applied mother of pearl or gold and silver leaf. Delicious!








Well, there you have it. If you couldn't make it to the fair, we've passed along the companies that we found to be most unique and exciting. Remember, you can always contact us for additional info about anything you see on the blog, general design questions, or to share projects!

WestEdge Design Fair - 2015

It's always interesting to attend events that showcase new designs and ideas. There are some really creative people/companies that deserve a spotlight. This year was no exception. Today's post will highlight a handful of exhibits that really stood out. Most of these companies sell to the trade, so you'll want to contact your interior designer for pricing and installation.
The images here represent just a small portion of what these companies offer, so please click on the links and take a minute to appreciate all the gorgeous work they do. And if you end up using one, please email a photo to us here in the design studio and we'll share it with our readers!


Next Step Studio www.nextstepstudio.com  creates wall sculptures based on grids. Each cube, sphere or jack is individually and uniquely designed and placed into a grid. There are endless possibilities!








Next up, we have another three-dimensional artist, Thor Bueno of www.buenoglass.com He and his wife, Jennifer, create stone shaped figures through the art of glass blowing. One variation uses mercury glass and gives the illusion of the mercury "moving" inside each piece. Clearly inspired by nature, these deserve a space all their own.








Vita Nova www.vita-nova.com is a custom mosaic company that uses glass, ceramic and stone to create one-of-a-kind statements for your wall or floor. Inside, outside or even your pool, Vita Nova can help you bring to life your dream of your own permanent art piece. I encourage you to visit their site, as they have too many gorgeous photos to show here.









Stay tuned for the conclusion of the Design Fair!

Working Together

Happy fall everyone!

Here in the design studio, exciting things are happening. We have begun working with an amazing designer who owns Susan Deneau Interior Design. I encourage you to check out her website here; www.sdeneau-id.com
She is an amazing talent and we are happy to be part of her world.

I'd like to show you a photo of a project we are currently wrapping up. It has been an amazing experience and the transformation is unbelievable. This is why we do what we do.

The homeowner was fantastic to work with. She was open and trusting, exactly what you want in a client. We used a combination of new/custom and vintage pieces to give the room a warm, comfortable, welcoming feel with pops of interest. Fantastic!
