POM POM INTERIORS

A couple of weeks ago POM POM INTERIORS,
at the Hollywood location, had a party to present
their newly revamped showroom.
This at one time was a house so it
has rooms to create the lifestyle look
that Hilde is know for.  You start in
the charming foyer.

I think the antique chair frames take on

look of an art piece.

AIDAN GRAY HOME  candlesticks,

lamps and chandeliers are found

through out the showroom. 

  Always nice to have something

 to satisfy one of women's passions, jewelry. 

The miniature mannequins and chair are

a perfect touch. 

Moving into the dining room.

The table is set using table linens

from one of the POM POM AT HOME

collections.  The flowers are a subtle

match to the slate napkins,

as well to the glassware.

The living room, or sitting room.

The nursery is so elegant

but also has a very comfortable look.

The master bedroom showcases

the many bedding selections

from POM POM AT HOME.

The beds are fully dressed and could

not look more inviting.  Classically

elegant and not pretentious.

Behind the house is a large open room

that has a surprise around every corner.

Since this was once a residence

it has some outdoor space. You will

find the same attention to detail

here as inside the house.

The red french bistro set from FERMOB
looks so pretty against the greenery.

as does the classic white.

Yes I said this was a party and the

table is set to perfection.

It was a very nice evening, with both

customers of Pom Pom Interiors as

well as Pom Pom at Home.

Here are the great group of ladies

from LAYLA GRAYCE.

MCKINNEY, TEXAS

While at the Dallas Gift Show last month,

I had the pleasure of visiting the charming

historic town square in McKinney, Texas.

Charming as it is the main reason I wanted

to come was to see GRAY LIVING.  Randal Weeks
 the owner of AIDAN GRAY HOME  opened
this store, and I was very excited

to finally get to see it.

This is not only a place to display the

products of AIDAN GRAY, it is a

lifestyle store and boutique specializing

in a European rustic chic collection of

new and vintage home furnishings and

accessories for the entire house.

Besides the great merchandise and the

creative displays the building itself

makes for a great setting.  Two floors.

brick walls and wood floors are

a great backdrop.

He carries all my favorite lines, along

with AIDAN GRAY, there is DASH & ALBERT 

rugs, PINE CONE HILL and POM POM AT HOME

bedding.

Around the corner is PATINA GREEN

where the fabulous food came from

for the Aidan Gray lunches and

party for the new Dallas showroom.

This is a family run store that perfectly balances

home decor items, and yummy local bites.

The "home" side of the store is loaded with

furnishings from Europe as well as repurposed

pieces like cabinets made from found shutters.

The restaurant side has a smal

deli that features freshly-made dishes

with local ingredients put togeother

by market chef Robert.

They are also know for ladies

rest room that has some

wonderful old pieces to distract you.

This beautiful lady is Roberts wife's

mother Luann, and designer of the place Kaci,

was out taking care of all the events the

store gets involved in.  Kaci orginized the

events at Aidan Gray that turned out so well.

Visiting McKinney was a perfect diversion

from the trade show and I suggest a

visit if you find yourself in Dallas.
