Shopping with Mary Wilson


Spotted at East Indies Home, Naples

Discovered at Surroundings, Naples

My wonderful new client and I went shopping this week. I placed orders for Edelman leather, Restoration Hardware, and Wilson Lighting, and we are focusing on the new cabinetry for the Kitchen. We like a style called "Sedona Pistachio"...Mary introduced me to a fabulous consignment shop called Surroundings http://www.surroundingsfla.com/ and I found this console there. We also made it to East Indies Home, where we purchased a very cool Noguchi/Gehry like fixture for the breakfast room, and also found a great etagere to put in the niche where the wet bar was. http://www.eastindieshome.com/ AND we found a divine very interesting fixture at Light Bulbs Unlimited, where I discovered my old friend Gavin Oihus had relocated to, after closing his shop, which was called La Luce'.. http://www.lbulighting.com/ This one also has an organic Gehry vibe to it... like petals of glass all hanging down in a sort of flower shape, but elongated...It has a certain Auntie Mame quality to it. Stay tuned for upcoming posts showing the completed project. DF *****
