EMTEK/ASSA ABLOY

 Hi All,

     It's been quite a while since my last post, so much has happened and I am on the brink of a very exciting project.  An entire house remodel! Bit by Bit I will post all of the small inspirations that make a house a home.  Together we will go thru this process and in the end the final product will be amazing.  I am starting off slow, researching hardware companies then on to cabinetry, but I have to say that EMTEK has really blown my mind.  They offer something special in every aspect of your home. Here are some timeless classics re-invented along with a great contemporary piece.  Enjoy!!!

  Hey Everyone,

        Took some time to myself and went to the NY NOW Trade Show at the Jacob Javitz Convention Center yesterday.  Had a great time with my good friend and fellow designer Liz Cordiero of Long Island Style. 


                 

It was great seeing some of the new pieces at Bungalow 5 and Worlds Away. 

The wooden carriage that is holding up this lovely Bernard cabinet from 

Worlds Away gives it and eclectic feel that

 I thought was very smart in todays market place. 

 Loved the look!

Keep in mind my picture does not do it justice.

Worlds Away can also take credit for this Troy chair that I immediately fell in love with.

 A contemporary design that can be infused into any home.

  Looking for a special place in mine right now!
Check it out online, my picture stinks.
 

Here is the Savoy chest by Bungalow 5,

 smart, clean lines make it easy to 

work into any room.

The classic Jacqui console in navy, paired with the Chloe chair.

  They may not be new additions to the line but their versatility is endless. 

 Deserves a mention, so used to seeing this piece in white.
I actually just purchased it in white for myself, love it but the blue is so Ralph Lauren.

Loved these Monaco chairs from Bungalow 5!!! 

 I am a complete sucker for caning - timeless.

After the show, Liz and I shot over to the D&D for some quick samples - that is always fun.  Unfortunately that put us right into rush hour traffic - 1 1/2hrs later we were home.  Ughhhh.

It was worth it!

Alexa Hampton Book Signing at Meg Braff Designs

  Hey Everyone,
      Well the weather could not have been worse, cold, icy storm, snow and dangerous driving conditions.  None of the above kept our friends from joining us for Alexa Hampton's book signing.  The evening went on as planned and a good laugh was had by all.  Anyone who has ever met Alexa will know what a hoot this lady is - so much fun to be around and so talented.  Here are some pics to commemorate the evening.

Me, Alexa and Meg
