Last Thursday Anthony Lawrence Belfair, New York’s finest upholstery and curtain workroom, held their annual Holiday Party – which CJ Dellatore and I happily attended.

This yearly event is much anticipated, and is considered by those in the know to be a party not to miss.  Throughout the evening, guests, including notable designers Juan Montoya, Charles Pavarini III, and Ronald Bricke arrived and shared in the festivities so graciously arranged by their hosts, Joseph Calagna, his family, and staff.  The showroom was warm and inviting, just as if we were being entertained in their home, and guests especially enjoyed the winter wonderland decor which ALB prides itself in creating.

And as one would expect, there was lots of comfortable seating!

The ALB family also took the opportunity to give their guests a sneak peek at a new line of outdoor furniture which will be launched in the early spring of 2014.  So watch out for this handsome line which is manufactured right here at home in the Northeast, and uses a sustainably farmed wood – eucalyptus.  It impressed CJ and I immensely (we’ll be reporting back on the collection as the March 1st launch approaches.)

It was so much fun to see good friends and to meet new ones!  Here are some photos from the party – see what you missed…

A Chair and Ottoman inspired by Fine Upholstery – hence the new collection’s tagline;

‘Bring the Indoors Outdoors’

 3 more exciting pieces from the upcoming Outdoor Collection

 2 Dining Chairs and Stool from the Outdoor Collection

It’s hard to believe Christmas is just 2 short weeks away, so let me take this opportunity, along with my friends at Anthony Lawrence Belfair, to wish you and yours the very best holiday season!
