One of my favorite trends right now is the "high/low" look of using burap on both danish and more contemporary furniture but this is hands down my favorite use of it yet! A gorgeous porch swing....so southern!

Brilliant!!!! Union jack huge panels- such a chic way to divide a loft space...all reclaimed fabric so it has a fantastic "vintage" feel.

More Trina Turk highlights...
Backdrop is inexpensive $9.99 a pair Ikea window sheers that we dip dyed in turquoise...we have done this for several windows in the summer like Dianes Swim in Palm Springs and anything white just pops off it- here it works well with Trinas "hippy chic" collection of pillows and rugs.

Trina Turks new tabletop line- so fresh, so modern and oh so palm springs!

Atlanta show kicks off the season with a busy show! Thank god! Its so great to see so many people-to hear hotels are sold out and to just feel an energy that has not been in the air for the past shows...

At peking we focused on the sea side feel showcasing the new shell pillows- using everyday home depot whilte rope we made them look like sail rope curtains....easy, cost effective and fresh for the spring...

Hello 2010 goodbye 2009!

While I am happy to see 2009 go for so many reasons (the economy, the closing of so many retailers and what became the standard conversation...complaining about buisness) I can look back and say that I was blessed in the growth of Birds Eye View....while we lost some retail accounts we gained work in other areas- one being the massive job of the LA Mart and the LACC gift show set up which we are in the swing of it now as we speak....
I will be posting pics soon of the set ups and display details of what we are working on- my hope is that you will be able to take some of the ideas to your own shops and create some of your own merchandising magic!

We will be taking a lot of risks this year- I belive in pushing the envelope and 2010 will be the year to start doing this again! You won't get anywhere in life or buisness if you don't take risks....
So go ahead...take a chance this year...I know we will be!
Happy New Year!

Christmas set ups are always my favourite- you get to design without limits or rules of what is considered right or wrong just make it gorgeous....that's the whole goal!
Nely Galans house is a modern mix of Frank Loyd Wright and the colors of Cuba. Nely has stuck close to her roots in both the interior and exterior holiday decor...
All the furniture in Nelys is white with pops of hot colors like orange, pink and lime green...making it a great backdrop for her latin themes Christmas tree...
Tiny pinatas, large glass balls, tin angels made out of mexican soda cans are just some of the treasures that fill this 10 ft tree..
The garland outside is a great mix of budget and lux. Big Lots is the industry secret for large plastic ornaments that are perfect for exterior decor...
The lux part are the handmade mexican paper flowers in the same brights the house is painted in. Together the mix is amazing, bright and un expected...

May your holidays be amazing, bright and un expected!
