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)

malachite accessories at decorum

I was chatting with Tommy Smythe from Sarah Richardson Design the other day, and he told me I just had to stop in at Decorum Decorative Finds to check out their malachite accessories.  (Tommy’s crazy about the colour of malachite, and his passion is highly contagious.)

Look at those whorls! The fascinating patterns on this malachite plate remind me of a whacked-out contour map. And that rich blue-green combined with the gold key motif absolutely screams luxe…

A smaller hit of malachite, but no less luxe is this little sphere on a gold dragon/fish plinth. Pure Art Deco deliciousness.
