Yes, as I continue to deconstruct #BlogTourNYC 2014 and now High Point Market summaries, it’s officially All About You Design. I saw this at the AD Home Show and especially with Prizer Hoods. The common hood is stainless steel..and there are many to choose from but what about an “all about you design”? Here’s an example:

Of course, this blue is only one of myriad of options from this company. All such options are the magic ingredient in today’s design world as my clients not only select superb quality but make it ‘all about you design’ too. Previously, I noted the game-changer direction of Miele who introduced ‘truffle chocolate’ as a glass option. Read about it here.
Our final day kept the pace with an early afternoon visit to the fabulous Treillage and meeting with Bunny Williams herself. A design legend, my personal ‘diva designer’ and the epitome of a luxury designer. So, of course, I took a selfie with Bunny along with these wonderful vases from her shop and a Swedish clock. Treillage is a great resource so check it out.
As the afternoon progressed we were treated to a visit to the McGuire showroom and as a special treat, presentations by Raina Kattelson and Michele Scotto. I need a Raina in my life here in Seattle. She is a superb stylist and offered many gems which I carefully noted. She reminded me that we met at the very first Blogfest. Next up was Michele. Photography is such a major piece of our interior design firm brand that hearing and seeing lessons is immensely helpful and Michele didn’t disappoint.

A surprise tour to Neal Beckstedt’s Studio was next. You can learn all about Neal here and he was a delight sharing his ongoing and future projects patiently and graciously. I loved his studio (envy).
Since BlogTourNYC2014 was ending, it was only appropriate to join together for another dinner and many toasts. This special afternoon of events was the creative design of Franklin Eight, design duo Tina Ramchandani and Sarah Sarna. Can’t thank them enough for finding all the creative buttons a designer relishes in the short space of one afternoon.

The ABC Home Cocina was the perfect setting to relax and relish what ‘All About You Design’ means to my day-to-day interior design practice and the skies the limit opportunities to create personal, individual interiors. I made wonderful new friends in the short space of this trip. My sponsors included Modenus and the brands I’ve shared for this fabulous trip to the Big Apple. A special opportunity for certain that I will treasure. Thank you to all.
