We had a blast!!
We were so lucky to work on this sale. Our client is an avid collector of fine art and had amassed a collection consisting of over 100 pieces, mostly sculptures acquired over many years of travel. These were beautiful pieces that some very lucky people got to take home. One of our favorite sales yet!
The design concept for a Pantone Rubik’s Cube called the Rubitone went viral in the blogging community back in 2008 for its melding of vibrant and fun Pantone products with a toy almost every adult can get behind.

Reupholstering a vintage chair is a great way to take the sometimes drab furniture you can find for a bargain at your local estate sale and turn it into that one-of-a-kind attention grabbing piece. I love the pop of color used to reupholster this french style accent chair found by NYC blog CherryPatter NYC at Brooklyn store Fabrica. Learn more about Fabrica here.
