10 Oct The Women of Highpoint – Pillow Goddess Pre-Market Picks!
You know, sometimes you just have to say it. I think the world would be a lot better off with women running the show. Now, mind you, that is solely my opinion, but I also know first hand that there are some AMAZING women interior and product designers out there in the home design world. So let's start there, shall we?
Two of the top women product designers in the U.S. home furniture industry today are Robin Baron of Robin Baron and Tina Nicole of Nathan Anthony. They both happen to be launching incredible new furniture pieces at the upcoming fall Highpoint Market October 13 – 17th, starting this weekend, in Highpoint, North Carolina.

29 Aug Gloss Black is the New “Little Black Dress” in the Kitchen with ILVE!
ILVE Majestic Range Collection now offers Gloss Black as one of its standard colors.
When I think of Italy, the Mecca for my favorite food, art, architecture, you name it, I think of high-quality, handmade craftsmanship.

"RESPONSIVE TEXTILES was founded on the idea that clothes are our second skin, and they should be as unique and human as we are." -- Kristine Rodriguez
A few weeks ago during New York Fashion Week (NYFW) I had the opportunity to write a story for a top kitchen and bath luxury brand BLANCO, and pair their IKONIC sinks and faucets with fashion hot off the runway of NYFW.
