Kravet - ...Browsing by tag

When I received the request to join a panel this Wednesday at the Kravet Seattle showroom, I pinched myself again. As a Seattle interior designer, I reminded myself of all the benefits I enjoy because of social media.

My friends, professional and personal, increase every day. Sometimes we meet at distant places from Seattle such as High Point Furniture Market in North Carolina or at special events like Blogfest in NYC. Frequently it’s close to home which is even more special.

At the presentation this week, I know the question to ask is, “What has social media done for your business?” I will tell them it’s immeasurable and somewhat surreal. My communication circle grows and grows.. and not with superficial ‘likes’ or ‘follows’. Of course, those are available and present but so are the sincere, real connections I’ve made over my 3 year immersion into the swirl of social media via my blog, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Pinterest.

I so appreciate the support and generosity of this medium. In particular, I salute Kravet for one of my ultimate design experiences last May at Blogfest 2011. Talk about exceeding expectations! The editors of leading design magazines, the Kravet family, Barbara Barry and a tour of Kravet headquarters up front and personal. LOVED it all. See my photo below with Barbara Barry as part of this amazing event.

If you’re in Seattle on Wednesday this week, I hope you’ll come to the Seattle Design Center and Kravet Showroom. Love to hear your questions and meet you in social media.

Unexpected coincidences delight this Seattle interior designer. In the whirlwind of the fast paced activities organized by Kravet for Blogfest 2011, serendipity arrived when Richmond designer Susan Jamieson and I decided to have dinner after touring the Elle Decor Modern Life Concept House. One year earlier another designer friend, Teri Peck, treated me to a birthday dinner at Indochine.

From Urbanspoon, “A favorite with New Yorkers and World Travelers since its opening in 1984, Indochine is a timeless classic that combines stylish ambiance, tropical decor, and exotic French-Vietnamese cuisine.”

Imagine my delight the following day, at the Kravet showroom in the D & D building, Barbara Barry introducing her latest collection, [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az721HroFkU[/youtube]!

This Seattle interior designer is joyfully working on a wonderful project. Last Thursday I visited the site to meet my upholsterer, Jose Plata, who templated the new window seat. It is part of a sitting room addition to the master bedroom.

A window seat channels nostalgia with a romantic notion of leisure and indulgence. When you look at this one in construction you can imagine time to sit and watch the world go by.

As a designer, I notice how clients seek nooks and crannies for coziness. A window seat invites us and we feel comfortable and at home. A wonderful textile from Kravet, GP&J Baker is the selection for the seats and back cushions. A blue and white drapery will be a stunning finishing touch.

Drapery

There is nothing like a window seat to inspire you to relax and unwind.

Call today - and create your perfect space -a haven from the chaos of an over-stimulated and hectic world of work, and life so you can relax and enjoy the rewards of your hard work.
