Ring in the New Year with Bubbles

 
A New Year's Eve celebration for two at the 2010 Holiday House 

This week we’re raising a glass to bubbles. It’s not just a sparkly, effervescent New Year's Eve tradition, but a design staple. Playing with circular motifs in pattern and design can add interest and soften angles in a room.

How do you incorporate circles into your décor? To what will you be toasting this weekend?

We wish all of you a wonderful New Year's Eve and a Happy New Year!

From our family to yours, Happy Holidays!

Sweet Thoughts for the New Year

 

We want to thank everyone who entered last week’s giveaway for a copy of Inspired Styles (Assouline). We were only going to give away three books but at the last minute we decided to give away four. Congrats to Catherine from Avery Design Interiors, Sara Kate from Dwell and Design, Bridget from the McMullin Design Group, and Cheryl from Cheryl von Tress Design.

Above, take a look at our newly unveiled holiday window at the D&D Building in New York City. This blog is all about inspiration, and we are inspired every day by our wonderful customers and supporters, so we’re sending our best wishes and sweet thoughts for the year ahead. Cheers!

Susan G. Komen for the Cure Holiday House and Giveaway

Hanukah by Mark Epstein Designs

This week we visited the 2010 Holiday House in New York City. Proceeds benefitted the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, which is the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world. This year’s Holiday House featured decorated rooms and table settings that celebrate life’s special occasions.

Tell us, what will you be celebrating in 2011? We’ll select at random from the comments and not one but THREE people will win a copy of our book, Inspired Styles (Assouline). We can’t wait to hear what you have in store for 2011. Cheers!

Silhouette Prints by Groundworks at Lee Jofa

  

Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday we were cranking up the AC and dreaming of brisk temperatures and that first winter snowfall? Somewhere along the way, our love of the cold gives way to thoughts of a tropical winter getaway, and we start dreaming about warm weather once again.

 

Groundworks at Lee Jofa just introduced a new collection called Silhouette Prints, made up of geometric motifs and stylized florals in bright bold colors on white linen ground. All are sure to lift your spirits and transport you to a place where the sun shines bright and warm. Cheers!
