kim seybert sample sale

Oh, to be in New York at Christmastime…

kimseybert kim seybert sample sale

One of my fave sources for over-the-top-glamorous tableware — Kim Seybert — is hosting a sample sale next week, and the savings are unbelievable: 40 – 60% off retail! (Savings that probably translate into the price of a plane ticket… lol) These are the table accessories that you’d normally find gracing the shelves at Barneys, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Saks, but priced to sell…

As my pal Tommy Smythe proclaims in our Trendspotting story in the January 2010 issue of STYLE AT HOME (on newsstands soon!), “Vive le Maximaliste!”

Here are the deets if you happen to find yourself in Manhattan next week. (In which case, I’ll happily provide you with my wish list.)

Tuesday, Dec. 8, 9AM-7PM

Wednesday, Dec. 9, 9AM – 7PM

Thursday, Dec. 10, 9AM – 7PM

37 West 37th St., 8th Floor (between 5th and 6th Avenues)

The simple gesture of dressing your table will let your guests know that you care enough to go to a bit of trouble for them (though it’s really no trouble at all!).  Or if you`re dining solo, it`s nice to do something special for yourself and set a pretty table before you sit down to eat.

1010002 fine diningI’m on assignment for STYLE AT HOME in Montreal next week, and I can’t wait to check out Barami- a hot new furniture destination that I’ve had my eye on since it opened a few months back. I’ve had the chance to browse their wares online, and I’m loving the lines of the Heal’s-inspired Designa dining table – cool and contemporary, with the silhouette of turned legs providing a shot of chic.
