Three Faves from The NY Gift Fair

This week was the NY Gift Fair. It's always exciting to see what's new to market before the general public. There were a few companies that had some really exceptional products that I absolutely fell in love with.

My first love was the reclaimed pine collection by Lostine. The lines are clean and lend themselves to a Colonial feel. They have a reclaimed pine top with matching feet attached to a metal base. They come in two shades, light and dark, aka White Washed and Oxidized (shown above). Both are equally beautiful. This unique look is available as a bench, a desk, a dining table and coffee table. I love them so much, I want a console, a gueridon, a stool,...call me spoiled.

Another beauty was the Soho Lamp by Julian Chichester. It's a faithful reproduction of a mid century, French wall lamp made of solid brass. It has an extendable arm and it swings (it dances!) so you can put your light where you need it.



And last, but certainly not least, is the amazing Restoration Mirrors, a company who offers mirrors that are hand-made just a hop, skip and a jump from the Hudson Valley on Long Island. I definitely call that locally made. Restoration Mirrors is also committed to the environment by offering sustainably harvested woods.


Outside of the sustainable production, they're pretty special because there is an array of options available to allow you to create a completely custom mirror. First, you get your pick of wood species-Tigerwood, Brazilian Cherry, Peruvian Olivewood, to name a few.

Then, you have your choice of mirror finishes. Yes! You read that right, mirror finishes. From plain, old reflective glass to 10 different varieties of antiqued glass such as Gold Antique, Pink Antique (below), Heavy Cloudy Antique...and the list goes on.



I bet you thought that was it, but you can also add a leather inlay to your piece as well. Click here to check out the different patterns and of course,...colors.

So there you have it, some really great finds from the gift show and if you see any of these show up in my portfolio, you know exactly where they came from.
