Volume 38: Q1 2025
Who doesn’t love a little window shopping?
TIME FLIES!
We're already in the 2nd quarter of 2025 and it's our first newsletter of the year. As you can see, getting motivated before Spring hits can be difficult. Cherry blossoms and tulips blowing in the breeze are here to brush off the Winter doldrums. The start of the calendar year is also full of many inspiring design events including product launches and market trends.
LAS VEGAS MARKET
Las Vegas Market is always exciting where we get to see the newest in home furnishings and accessories. This year did not disappoint. As our design work is primarily in vintage homes, our clients know we're not driven by trends. Colors and finishes come in and out of fashion and often reflects social and economic environments. With that, we continue to see both move towards honed and matte finishes. I especially love honed stone tables mixed with burnished metal and cozy textured fabrics.
KBIS
Las Vegas twice in one month? Yes, please! KBIS was once again in Las Vegas at the convention center, making it a sunny destination for us PNWers living under cloud cover in February. The kitchen and bath markets continue to show expansion into personalized finishes and details. Think finish options on bathroom fixtures and appliance handles that develop a patina like brass and leather. Contrary to what social media looks like, manufacturers do not want your kitchen to look like your neighbors. They are here to offer you customizable handle and finish options and we love them!
BEST OF HOUZZ
This year, we are proud to to have been awarded the best of Houzz for the 12th year! This honor means so much to us as we rely on images and client word of mouth to grow our business. I mean, if we didn't take a picture, did it even happen? Thank you for your continued trust in allowing us to work with you in creating colorful and personal homes.
If you've followed along in our newsletter, you may remember I am not a fan of springtime. This year I am trying to smile a bit more and enjoy moments walking under the pink blossoms and working out in the garden prepping for foxgloves and poppies. I'm trying to take things a little slower in general. I'd love to hear how you are taking advantage of this season, please reach out and let me know!
