Marketplace News: Brunschwig & Fils
A sneak peak at the redecorated New York Showroom
………………………….
The much awaited completion of Brunschwig & Fils‘ New York showroom has finally arrived. Upon walking into the refreshed showroom last week, I was pleasantly surprised by the youthful and glistening impression it’s putting forth.
The signature Brunschwig plaid, rendered in the entrance’s marble floor is a real sensation. Wouldn’t you agree? And the rest of the showroom is equally breathtaking…..

Menla Mountain Retreat

Situated in the valley of the Panther Mountain, the site was once held as a sacred place by the local Native American inhabitants of the region. This valley was not inhabited by these people but used for ceremonial purposes…..

At The Newsstand: September 2013
5 interiors, 5 products, 15 resources
…………………………
With the summer season officially over, September always reminds me of ‘back-to-school’ (even if I haven’t seen the inside of a classroom in decades.)
So true to form for my first September assignment, I have taken to the magazine stalls to find five tantalizing interiors with a home furnishing product for consideration from each – and as always I’m sharing three resources for each item with you. This was a challenge, as there were so many beautiful homes featured in the current magazines. Sometimes my job isn’t easy, but I have found my five to offer you here in this month’s resource feature.
As I continue to write these posts I am finding certain trends, but that may be for another story.
In the meantime, let’s get started.
