Architectural Digest Home Design Show 2015 - NYC

Architectural Digest Home Design Show 
2015 - NYC

I was in New York for 6 days with Natalie Blake Studios. 
My new job is the Business / Marketing Manager for NBS. 

Natalie and I went down, stayed in an AirBnB 3 blocks from Pier 94 convention center and worked the show for four days, with a day of set-up at the beginning and a day of site visits on Monday. It was a stimulating adventure.

Lots to see on the floor of the design show! Amy Genser makes painting from rolled paper. They were selling off the wall . . . sort of seascapes and landscapes. Check out her website: http://www.amygenser.com











Near the floral arrangements were these wonderful paper cutouts. These were beautiful and especially next to the real live flowers!








Lots of great graphics on paper and fabric and cow hide. I love the whole cow!


Check out this "living wall"! Wouldn't this be a great way to grow food ~ and just go up and cut your own salad for dinner! Or herbs for your drink! The possibilities are endless!






Also in this area were lampshades for the cafeteria - chicken wire covered in paper pulp. I like the idea although the end result was a little provincial. I could image this with a more sophisticated finished piece. Maybe this summer at Still Water Bindery!



Met new friends across from the NBS booth - Mother is the painter and her husband came up from Washington and her daughter in from London UK to help her with her show! Lovely family.

Anyway, it was good to be in the city and get some culture and sushi!



We ended up at "The Bitter End" in Greenwich Village ~ Joni Mitchell sang there! 

I was happy to have walked on the same ground that she had! 
Even saw Martha Stewart at the ADHDShow!
