More love!

Danielle, I hope you're reading my blog (you are a blog watcher aren't you???), because we're putting the Melbourne Collection on your glass porch! Maybe we should do two ottomans with trays and two with cushions? Or we could get four of each and switch them out for entertaining? That Mariette--genious for keeping everything fresh. And, if we did an outdoor fabric, the boys could spill anything on them!!

More Love, Love, Love

Okay, back to more of Mariette's new collection for Hickory Chair--the Porter Divan is so great! I love the clean lines and hardware detail on the end. Daisy likes it too....Is this amazing Montauk bed part of Hickory Chair's made-to-measure program?? Because my darling dog Daisy wants it for herself! This is total 1940s, Hollywood Glamour--no wonder Daisy loves it!

I may have to call in a favor to Ron Fiore. Daisy looks awfully cute in that dog bed...um, I mean, Mariette's gorgeous new upholstered bed!

Love, Love, Love

Spring is in the air and so is LOVE! I love market--everything is new, fresh, fabulous, and exciting--and full of possibility! I love Hickory Chair. I love Ron Fiore, Hickory Chair's creative director. I love their designer collections (Suzanne Kasler as you all know), but Mariette Himes Gomez' collection is another of my favorites. And Mariette has a line of art with Soicher Marin. I just got to see a few of Mariette's new pieces--I LOVE them! Check out the Carrie Chair! It is so sophisticated, completely befitting of my favorite Sex in the City character--Carrie Bradshaw!

I love the blend of upholstery and wood....it's very architectural...the view from the back is as interesting as the front! What a great blend of clean lines and graceful curves. Maybe I'll use this in my sister's new Santa Barbara house! I think we'll put them in the breakfast room with these new Soicher Marin additions:

Gotta get back to Soicher Marin--check back for more about my LOVE of all this fabulous design at market.
