Bergdorf Goodman Holiday Windows 2014

Dec 10 2014 ·0

The Holiday Windows in New York City are one of my favorite traditions. Whether I view them online or am fortunate enough to see them in person, I am always in awe of the creativity, hard work, and planning that goes into bringing each window to life. The windows at Bergdorf Goodman are among my perennial favorites. This year Bergdorf’s has dedicated a window to each of a sampling of the Arts ~ Film, Literature, Painting, Theater and Dance among them. I’ll be visiting NYC the week after Christmas when I’m hoping to view several of the holiday displays, including these amazing windows. Until then, these photos from Racked NY will have to do…

Spring Inspiration at Anthropologie

{Boston.com has put together an excellent list of ways you can help victims of Monday’s horrific events here in Boston}

Last week I was a guest speaker at Quincy College in a Design Program seminar. One of the questions that was asked was: “Where do you get your inspiration?”

‘Tis the Season: Christmas in NYC

Dec 05 2012 ·1

Last weekend I traveled with a dear friend to the “city that never sleeps”. If you’ve never been to New York during the Christmas season, you simply must go! Even more than usual, the city is stunning, vibrant and full of light. I had a ball taking in the energy of Manhattan and the sights of the season.

~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

I believe I fell down a rabbit hole when I entered the Boston Design Center last week! Right there before my very eyes in the windows of the Martin Group showroom were all the Alice in Wonderland characters dressed to the nines in Samuel and Sons trimmings!

Here is where the story begins…

Tweedledee and Tweedledum never looked so dapper!

I just love the detail of the ball fringe, so clever!

The Queen of Hearts is looking exceptionally posh in her opulent regalia:

And really, aren’t there days when your inner diva just wants to say, “Off with Her Head”??

Oh, to be able to wear such finery and be a tyrant…bliss!

Meanwhile, Alice seems to be feeling a bit odd:

The details on her dress however are nothing but stunning!

Here is the ever unshakably mellow caterpillar who gives Alice sage advice, all while bedecked in his lovely green garb…

And for a close up:

So many gorgeous trims!

Just think of all the possibilities with these amazing pieces of passementerie! Wonderful pillows, shams, duvets, leading edges on draperies and upholstery, and table skirts just to name a few~ oh my! These exquisite tassels, trims, beads, tapes, ropes are just waiting to bejewel your home decor and with the right designer, that is not impossible at all!
