With New York Fashion Week upon us, it's exciting to see what the hottest trends will be for 2017. When it's high fashion time on the runway, we can usually predict in the home furnishing industry that this year's runway styles will make its way into home decor by the following year.

What a thrill it was earlier this week to tune into #ModenusTalks, a new series Veronika Miller is doing with Modenus during the blog tours. The first one was launched in Vegas which you can read about here.

Blog-icon-for-KBIS-colour-horizBut a new team of bloggers was in NYC last week on the 2nd New York BlogTour  #BlogTourNYC(PartDeux).  (I know this might get a little confusing, but these amazing blog tours keep coming. And you know I've been sharing with you all the wonderful treats from the first NYC Blog tour (with many more inspiring posts to come!) and that understandably I'm partial to my own team BlogTourNYC2014)

But, this Part Deux team last week got to go to the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) which I know was incredible, and, as Veronika always does, she created a host of other inspiring events.

Deborah Main Designs received some wonderful press from our trip to New York for #BlogTourNYC in the May/June 2014 issue of NHome magazine.  Remember how I had to hold back a bit on some of my design finds from The Architectural Digest Home Design Show?  Well, not anymore.  NHome Texas Magazine is now online and on news stands, so I'm VERY excited to share with you a lot more about the designs I selected.

The Architectural Digest Home Design Show is one of the premier design shows in NYC showcasing thousands of products from over 300 different brands. Inspiration was everywhere!  I've ALWAYS wanted to attend because I've been an avid fan of the magazine and all the incredible products and features. This years keynote speaker was none other than AD Editor-in-Chief Margaret Russell. The AD Home Show also included lectures hosted by Architectural Digest and design seminars hosted by The New York Times. Other exciting activities included:

Hello again! More to share from the magical #BlogTourNYC!! On our very first full day, Wednesday, March 19th, in New York, we visited the flower district (which is here in Part I) and then we enjoyed learning flower design from New York's best, Tess Casey.  The above poster hangs in her studio, among many other movie and life memorabilia. Thomas Hardy wrote the beautiful, but tragic story, of Tess and then it was adapted many times in theatre and film.
