FURNITURE HIGHLIGHTS DAY 2 OF AD SHOW

I can hardly believe I’ve already been back a week!  I say that but at the same time so much has happened in the past week it seems like it was a month!  Things are humming back at the shop.  Our larger new location has been a great help allowing us to increase production of custom cabinets.  Right now we’re working on some very slick custom vanities for a high profile, and very busy, builder.  We also are in the midst of creating a few custom furniture pieces for one of our favorite clients who has recently moved to Miami.  In addition to this the spring has brought new projects of various types and it looks like we’re gearing up for a busy summer.  That is typically our busy season.  When the snowbirds fly north we get busy so that it’s all done when they return.

I do, however, owe you one more post about the Architectural Digest Home Design Show I attended in New York.  Without Further ado here are my favorites from day 2.

Ok so there’s a story that goes with this next one.  Show sponsor, Modenus, is holding a contest for the most original, interesting photo in which you had to include yourself and a product.  This is why I’m planking.  Later I was to find out that only certain booths qualified for the pic.  You’ll see my real entries at the end of this post.  If I make the top 100 (we’ll find out on the 7th) I’m going to ask you all to vote for me so I can go to London on the Blogtour.  Deal? Ok, thanks.  I knew I could count on my peeps.

Ok so here's one official entry for the Modenus contest taken at the Royal Botania Booth. The hammock is called Kokoon and the planking platform is a Motley Drum by Wild Spirit. It also works as an end table, ottoman or extra seating.

Here's entry number two taken at Jenn Air. Remember KILROY WAS HERE? The product is a 36" gas cooktop.

Love to see great craftsmanship incorporated into contemporary design
My Favorite is the zebra wood piece.
Kudos on flawless planking technique….with Tim now in NY,it would have been easy to sell out for pop vote and go with Tebowing :)

Darn!! I didn’t think of that. Someone could possibly beat me with that pose. I better say my prayers.
