Social party: modern game night in the LivingRoom?!
April 30, 2014 | the fun piece

Leave it to ABC HOME to re-design game night with a fresh modern vibe.  Let's face it, we all LOVE the idea of a social party with ping pong being played in the Living Room and, with Summer  on the way, table tennis pool side.

The major hiccup hits when we must intrude on a well designed gathering with that hideous green table.  No worries, ABC Home  re-styled the ping pong table and it is a beauty.  Strong, clean, simple lines will add to the party style.  Make this a permanent piece in the Loft.

I am always on the hunt for fresh alternatives to the PARTY.  The newly designed FOOSBALL table takes the party aesthetic to a whole new level.  No need to hide the table for the Kid's Only.  Make it a 40th BASH and layer up all the vintage games with new attitude.  

These designs allow us to integrate Game Night permanently. Invite friends, colleagues, your teenager's friends and have a serious table tennis match.  HINT HINT socialize with your tweens and teens. 

A beautifully designed ping pong table seated in your living space, may just inspire your teens to challenge you to a match. Oh and the things we can learn from a little good chatter.

Until Next Time, 

CHEERS TO THE PARTY.

Entertaining party cue by Wes Anderson
April 11, 2014 | interior alchemy, pretty this + that

Are you looking to reveal a bit of wit at your bash? Indeed, you are and you are not alone. Ah, the host of an entertaining party is always on the move for an interesting new element. How many different machinations of the cupcake can we handle, hhmm?

The Grand Budapest Hotel has the quirky ways of Wes Anderson hitting the party scene. Wild floral arrangements are popping up from vintage suitcases. The bohemian teepee styles the outdoor bash. Story book performers dance the party venue.  And of course the grace of a hand written thank you note...

The delicate balance of the outrageous and the detail make up the party vibe.  At a recent after party in Greenpoint,Brooklyn Miss Lauren Darling captures the aerialist in a red evening gown donning a fantastical headdress. 

I love to spot a new party theme and offer it up to my clients as an option.  Every personality wants to tell a different story, so I do my best to move outside the party box.

Until next time,
