Three Reasons @WilsonArt Inspires as a Brand #BlogTourNYC

This past month during @Modenus Blog Tour we had a behind the scenes treat while at ICFF, my colleagues and I were introduced to the Student Designers sponsored in this years @WilsonArt Design Competition. As a benefactor brand (if I can use that terminology, mine, not theirs) I was impressed with the level of curated instruction and access WilsonArt brought to the table.

Here is a quick video on one of the competitors which I highlight. My sons are avid backpackers and hikers…hence this particular chair.

Get Inspired in 60 Seconds or Less from New York’s Design Week, 2015

By | #BlogTourNYC, Design Fundamentals, Multi-Generation | No Comments

Here are two short quick videos highlighting two beautifully different components of #BlogTourNYC.

THIS is why I love Design. From the elite workings behind the scenes of Kips Bay Decorator Show House which for 43 years has raised funds to support real children with hands on help:

to the curated support of brands like WilsonArt who make it possible for student designers from around the country (this year they partnered with Appalachia State) to attend trade shows and gain valuable experience and exposure:

Enjoy. Get inspired. Share. More of these bite sized nuggets to come.

Make sure to note the details:

Mark Sikes use of wicker in the Dining Room, red gingham, and playful trim with simple potted plants on consoles, layered blue and white dishes…

Alessandra Branca’s use of modern and traditional art, upholstered walls, casual linens mixed with incredible florals…

Have a blessed day. Enjoy your coffee or tea. Drink from a beautiful cup. Call a friend.
