Bungalow 5 Chest makes it to the Runway!

We were happy to see one of our pieces, the Fairfax 6 Drawer Rattan & Oak Chest from Bungalow 5 to be included in the From Runway to Room to Tabletop series in Kelley Moore's terrific blog,

for the love of design.

In the series, Kelley and her friend and fellow blogger, Erin Gates

of Elements of Style, team up to pair a fashion look with

selected pieces for the home. June's fashion choice was a "soft summery look

from Dolce & Gabbana." Previous fashion picks have come from

the collections of Alberta Ferretti, DKNY and Gucci.

We agree! The white oak and rattan Fairfax is a perfect fit

with the light, flowing summer look of the Dolce and Gabbana

2011 Summer Collection. Each piece of furniture in the

Fairfax Collection from Bungalow 5 features

a simple, but timeless design handmade using solid oak

veneers, and rattan. Silver steel pulls accent each piece in the

collection.

A side table, a 4 door cabinet, a 2 door 6 drawer cabinet,
and a dining table are also available in this

collection.

Each piece in the Fairfax Collection is also available in gray, cerused oak.

Thank you Kelley Moore for including one of our favorite pieces

from Bungalow 5!

Thursday

Emily Henderson is Born to Be Wild . . . sort of.

Emily Henderson works with Glee co-creator Ian Brennan under the watchful eye of Tippicanoe

We just love 2010 HGTV Design Star winner Emily Henderson's blog, so it was a real treat to spot our Suzani Tribal Throw Pillow in Orange on the mood board in episode 13 of her new TV show, Secrets from a Stylist. Her first episode featured Emily working on Glee co-creator Ian Brennan's eclectic bungalow in Los Angeles.

Style By Emily Henderson

In Episode 13, 70's Palm Springs meets Easy Rider Chic,

Emily works in a 1970's California style (although she admits

that everything she knows about the classic film Easy Rider,

she learned from Wikipedia). Our series of Suzani

Tribal Throw Pillows are perfectly positioned to her description

of "global influences and retro colors, but with a masculine edge."

This bold linen pillow is available in 6 different featured colors -

orange as shown, and also red, plum, seafoam, natural and blue.

We also noticed our fantastic Scalloped Wood Bead Chandelier

during the opening montage of one of the show's episode. Winning!

Rustic, beachy, playful, but elegant, this beautiful fixture

is a great choice for a coastal, cozy, seaside feel.

We love this light and we love your show Emily - THANKS!

Be sure and catch Emily's show on HGTV, Saturday at 9pm.

You can also watch full episodes on-line at HGTV's website.

The above link goes directly to the episode with Glee's Ian Brennan.

Enjoy!

Lanterns with Sketch42

NYC Artist and Writer Nicole Cohen of sketch42 was nice enough
to feature two of our lights in her blog. The Stephano Chandelier
and the Grande Cuba de Marco Lantern were 2 of Nicole's finds
while she was searching for options for an interior design client.

These are two of the many new lights that we are carrying.

Nicole chose two very nice options. Her client really can't go wrong

with either the rustic and simple, but elegant Stephano in a

natural rust finish, or the formidable Cubo de Marco Chandelier

which is finished in Newport Silver and comes in at almost 3 feet tall!

Nicole and her ridiculously awesome apartment in Manhattan

were also recently featured in an 18 page spread ( see page 100 )

in the great on-line magazine Rue.

Congratulations and thank you Nicole Cohen!

Saturday

Featured in the Washington Post!

Although it may not be Watergate, we're still excited to see our popular

Bubbles Glass Chandelier in the famous Washington Post!

Clicking on No. 15 in the "After" graphic brings up our

fabulous blown glass chandelier!

The Washington Post, Home & Garden House Calls

The Bubbles Glass Light adds an incredible burst of energy and style

to space. Dozens of handblown glass "bubbles" threaded onto chrome rods
and all projecting outward from a chrome sphere make this a unique
and exciting light fixture.

Popular as either a Chandelier or a Ceiling Fixture!

We love this modern light fixture for combining a great piece of lighting
with the beauty of a sculpted work of art and we're so grateful to designer

Kelly Porter of Porter House Designs for incorporating

the Bubbles Glass Chandelier into her design. Thanks Kelly!
