FERMOB AND SPRING

The entire country is looking forward to the

coming of spring.  This has been a very

wet and cold winter for everyone. 

FERMOB  the French outdoor furniture line

has spring written all over it. 

 Great classic

design and beautiful colors are a good place

to start.  The bistro chair is produced from the
original 1889 patented FERMOB design.

It is available in 24 powder coated colors

that make it ideal for outdoor use.

Also perfect for breakfast for two in a

small apartment.  The colors can change but

the design is forever.

The Luxembourg is recreated from the 1920's version

as commissioned by the French government and

now resides in the Luxembourg Garden in Paris.

and Starbucks throughout the west coast

And the Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York

I love the mix of colors that were shown

at the resent Las Vegas show. 

On top of the table is the new Luxembourg

child's chair that is also available in all colors.

They have also added a child's table

The low side table also works with the child's chair.

Who wouldn't like to sit out in the garden

on the Bistro lounger

This Dune folding and adjustable sunlounger

was a show stopper.  Vibrant rich colors that

coordinate so well with the solid colors in the line.

So no matter how cold it is now and how

much snow you have had........

I know there will be spring: as surely as the birds

know it when they see above the snow two tiny,

quivering green leaves,  Spring cannot fail us.

LETS PARTY AT BLUEPRINT

BLUEPRINT FURNITURE for over a decade

has been a Los Angeles destination for

modern and contemporary furniture.  It was

a happy event to help celebrate their move

to a new location.

The new showroom is bigger, brighter

and has a good energy.

The showroom has something for the

entire house

many choices for the dining room

or the classic Eames chair

a classy home office

I loved the view from the upper level, it

gave me a chance to admire the chandeliers

and get a nice overview of he store

the upstairs has bedroom

and a wide range of accessories

This collection of lamps has a retro contemporary

look that I liked

a closer look at the base of this lamp

lets you see the nice detail

back to the party mode, my husband John

and Peri, the designer of the great lamps

and the person who is responsible for

this wonderful shopping experience, Hyon.

It was a fun night and I wish her

much success in this new location.

ATLANTA-TRINITATE

I was very happy to finally see TRINITATE CERAMICS

in person at the Atlanta show.  It confirmed

everything I had been told about the line.

The line has four very different dinnerware

patterns with coordinating accessories,

which should appeal to a wide range of customers.

 It is handmade, lead free,

dishwasher safe and can be used in the mircrowave.

CONTEMPO

clean lines and style that would

fit a more contemporary lifestyle

This 11" bowl with handles is one of

my favorite pieces and has a variety of uses.

oval tureen with cover

CANTINNI

This collection would be classified as traditional

EUROPE

this has a very old world look and

more ornate in design

SCAROLA

this scalloped motif has a fun fantasy look

one of the beauties of this line is mixing

the different patterns, here we have

Contempo and Scarola

also the many accessories that work

well by themselves

love this ribbed bowl that would

be a nice serving piece on any table

Two new colors have been added to the Scarola

and Cantinni dinnerware patterns.

This the verde

Dijon

they have also included some of the

accessory pieces

These two 6" and 4" ivy pots have been
so popular in the white they now are
available in the verde green.

Herb pots and saucers are also new to the line

Thyme, oregano, rosemary and mint

set of two mini pots with a citrus green tray

also in the citrus green are the Big and small

Scarola Frutierer, two popular items in white
