Design is Never Done...

Design is Never Done
I’m writing my first blog!  With some encouragement from my incredibly talented friend, Erin Hasler, I am moving forward in my attempt to write about what I love to do.  
Erin first made a visit to the595project showroom about a month ago. She contacted me about seeing the showroom since she knew I had launched the website featuring my collection of mid-century and vintage furniture.  I loved the look on her face when she walked through the door!  She was so surprised by the vastness of the collection and how interesting each piece was.  After an hour of chatting and explaining who the makers were and their history, she told me that I needed to write a blog about my business, so here I am.
The most wonderful gift to me about vintage furniture and accessories in today’s interior design world is the feel of provenance and age.  They soften interiors and give a room the lushness of rich history, while maintaining a long life as they are handed down through generations.  
If you look at respected interior design magazines, you’ll notice that the art of the mix is really where it’s at.  Every top designer fashions rooms by selecting vintage items from shop keepers and websites across the country. The most stunning of them all in my view, is 1st Dibs. Nothing but the best of every category imaginable is represented on this incredible site.  Another personal favorite is One Kings Lane and I am proud to have been selected as a supplier for them. They feature new merchandise daily as well as compiling an impressive Vintage and Market Finds Collection.  Offering everything from furniture and lighting to art and accessories, all gathered in this one spot from wonderful antique stores and eclectic shops around the country.  I just love their new advertising theme, “Design is never done”.  It’s the passion of looking for the perfect place for my newest treasure.  The reward of finding a piece that speaks to you, and you know you just have to have it!  That is the very foundation of the595project.
To have my showroom and website up and running is a dream come true! Curating the inventory and placing each piece in its best possible light brings me joy.  There are new things that have just arrived that are absolutely stunning. It warms my heart to know that each piece will have a great new home as they sell and go out into the world.  That’s why I love that design is never done; neither is friendship.  Thank you Erin …
