Vegas Market

True to form, we did out bi-yearly trip to the World Market Center in Las Vegas last month.  Three full buildings of home furnishings.  Some newly released, some from existing lines.  All so much fun!  The surprise this time was that despite the slowdown economically, many of our vendors had really been successful with new designs, applications, finishes and style.  They really seemed to have spent time and money this season, which differed from a few of the markets in the not too distant past.  Lucky for us, and for you.  As a result of our market purchases, our studio is being transformed once again into the up to date, hip and yummy place you depend on.  Following are some of the pieces and showrooms that caught our eye....

[birch trees carved out of painted white wood panels]


[this settee was to die for]


[a notched back sectional...so wise]


[great print on these adorable dining chairs]


[tin atop a reclaimed wood coffee table, great look]


[yummy and affordable pillows]


[the design and colors were as nice as the quality]


[this white marble and gold table needed to come home with us]


[a metal design overlay really made this timeless, not trendy]


[love the tiebacks on these slip dining chairs...coastal chic]


[this headboard is so much better in person...love]


[dresser detail, it's about time]


[these woven chairs had so much style, there was a bit of a graywash]


[great addition to the urban industrial look]

our sample sale goes public tomorrow....

Our trip to Market this summer was fruitful!  We found that our favorite vendors had been extremely successful with their summer releases.  Creative, innovative, to-die-for designs were everywhere!  We took advantage, but our little Cardiff studio can't house it all so we have priced items on our floor well below wholesale.  
Remember, our prices are ALREADY 20% off or better.  So when you do the math, a piece marked at 70% off during this sale may actually be considered 90% off of retail prices.  Add that to the fact that our samples are usually found only in higher end boutiques in high cost cosmopolitan cities and your benefits are even better!


Here are some peeks at some of the floor samples on sale this week.  Many have been sold already, but there are still some beautiful pieces that have been reduced to amazingly low costs.   We will be releasing to the public tomorrow, so call or stop by if you find something calling your name.
