Ficks my habit....

New lines at Ficks Redd caught my attention at HD Show, love all the pieces from the Carleton Varney collection...esp. the Dorothy Draper pieces which you'll have to go online and see more of...
Hemisphere Lounge Chair...

Dorothy Draper Coffee Table...
Dorothy Draper Dining Chair...

Dali Dining Table...

then I saw this beauty, the Galleria chair in red and just had to sit in it...


I did this a lot...stop to try things out! Walking the show in heels can get tiring, so thought I'd try this chair on for size and love it, esp. the red!!

Well, I'm off again on a jet plane, going to see family in PA...be back next week and hopefully with some pictures from my trip...

Allow me to introduce...

the David Qian collection...


I nearly stepped over people when I came across this booth at the HD Expo last week in Vegas...very eye catching to say the least. I was just drawn in my the beautiful work that I had to stop and see about this Shanghai company...


Amazing detail and an array of samples to view from those large scale pieces that made up the booth and about 10 actual books full of examples that I only wished I could have looked through completely...


I immediately went for the Chinosorie scenes and got in real close to view the detail, which is impeccable!!


So many prints and they can be painted on basically any type of paper is my understanding...


The website is still a work in progress, but shows some great installation shots...just thought I'd share with you, and expect more posts from this show through out the week...

Revving up...

Every year I attend the "NeoCon" of the West in Las Vegas, the Hospitality Design Expo. What an event, each year it gets bigger and bigger and a great place to see all the new product releases for the year. Not just for "hospitality designers", there is everything from fabric, tile, wallcovering, accessory lines, rugs etc...


Once just one floor in the Sands Expo, know it's two floors...adding more mileage to cover and another day to the trip. I really can't wait to go and I will be taking as may pictures as my camera holds to share with you...so see you on Monday with lots of exciting images!!

Stair "scapping"...

I've always thought, "scapping" in general takes talent, I'm so fond of a well decked out table and often look to masters like Mary McDonald, Michael S. Smith and Ruthie Sommers for inspiration and techniques to follow...

but what about stair"scapping", that just seems to be a whole other challenge all together. My interest was sparked after revisiting some miscellaneous clippings and now I'm on the hunt for more examples of well dressed stairs...

Reader inquiry...

I've received some really great emails and comments regarding my "Serenity Now" post already, one reader in particular though, mentioned that my shower curtain closely resembles the one featured below in Kate Spade's bathroom, which I adore!!!
...and this is exactly the image I had in mind when I happened upon it at a local Target, I searched online but couldn't find it to include with this post, but if you like the style, might want to pop into a Target next time your near one...
