Spring Trends seem to be about adding a little light and color this and probably every year. At least that is what we have been reading.

We have had some nice press notices and nods of late.  Home Furnishing News noted that we were one of the few new artisanal companies juried into the NYNow 2015 Winter Market.  LDB Interior Textiles Magazine chose us in their showcase of new work hitting the New York Textiles Week market this year. And now a big Thank You to Edge Media Network and writer David Perry for the mention in their article on Spring Trends in Home Décor .  Here is a link to the article which highlights a handful of artist/artisans who can shake off the winter doldrums with that “one good piece”, a little whimsy and a lot of style.  We are really honored to have been chosen for this article, there was a lot of good work to choose from!

Spring Forward: EDGE’s Guide to New Trends in Home Décor

Acai’s essential fatty levitra without prescription acid content helps reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels, while boosting HDL (good cholesterol) levels. 14. But with VigRx Plus, such men can increase their level of engorgement by improving their circulatory function – and often, this can be done without the use of expensive medications that have levitra canadian pharmacy http://www.devensec.com/news/Grant_Road_HIA_Final_Report_w_Exec_Sum.pdf unpleasant side effects. If you are an erectile dysfunction suffering personality, Kamagra should be the choice for your loved ones and use viagra 100 mg . viagra is the high strength version of viagra 100 mg and it contains the active ingredient found that that Sildenafil Citrate does not influence the flow of blood to the cardiac, but it increases the flow of blood in penis that results in harder erection. With this various other things are tested like the levels of breathing, airway generic viagra without visa flow, oxygen level and snoring by the patient.

“Take a look at a traditional Japanese fan and you will notice two very different sides. One will be red, brown, and gold, with an ornate scene of perhaps flowering trees and billowing clouds. The other will be hued with blues, silvers, or greens, and maybe just a few fish or bamboo stalks conveying an air of simplicity. The reason behind the two color schemes has less to do with art and more with season: the “warm” side was displayed in winter, the “cold” side in summer. Historically, Japanese houses had neither heating nor cooling, so in a type of psychic temperature control, color was used to help “think warm/cool thoughts” as the weather dictated. The Japanese, you see, have home accessories down to a science.

Add a Little Something
It would be great if we could switch out entire living room sets to coordinate with the passage of the year, but those of us with limited financial means are restricted to a few well-chosen decorations to do the job (although if you can seasonally replace your furniture, rock on). An occasional wise purchase placed in just the right spot can change the entire look of a room.

EDGE has discovered several designers specializing in “that one good piece” that brings the vim and vigor of spring into your home with minimal effort.

It is the perfect example of what a simple addition can do to a room, or at least an end table. The same goes for pillows and throws, which can completely change the look of a couch – or a room.

“Pillows are a great way to freshen up the mood of a space after a long winter, adding a splash of color, pattern, texture, whimsy or a slight shift of style in a bedroom, living room, and even on dining room chairs,” says Katherine Henry.

A photographer by trade, Henry extended her creative reach by founding Arcadia Park Designs, through which she prints her images on the face of high-end pillows. With an eye for the sublime architecture of the world’s great historical cities, she found inspiration for her classical de Architectura line, and, aware how season affects taste, adjusts the color scheme accordingly. “Once things heat up for summer, I will cool the palette with a few crisp blues,” she sums, tapping the same line of thinking the summer side of a Japanese fan does.
