Adventures at the Mart

Ok … this is me and the lovely Kristy Sweeney during our trip to the Merchandise Mart today. Stay tuned for a more complete introduction to this fabulous lady, designer, Mom, singer and friend. She is the newest addition to Swoon Interiors, Inc. and I am anxious to show you pictures of the amazing transformation she has made to her own home and for her to share with you a little bit about herself. A whole post all about her is in the works …

In the meantime, I will share with you a few snapshots of some of the dazzling eye candy we were enticed by today at the Mart.

One of our first stops was the Duralee showroom. We got caught up ooogling all of their lovely, colorful fabrics. They are really trying to take more traditional prints and bring them out in new, more modern colorways …

These would be charming in a young girl’s room.

I was excited to get a glimpse of John Robshaw’s new swoonworthy collection designed especially for Duralee. It is so new, in fact, that they still only have the swatch books.

We may have stayed a little too long in this next showroom, but we couldn’t help ourselves … everything just sparkled with sophistication and glamour. I seriously want to replace all of my light fixtures with ones from this showroom …
