Joss & Main Best Curators of 2012

Over the summer, it was great fun to host my first flash sale with online home decor retailer, Joss & Main.  Among Joss and Main's multiple, daily, flash sales are their Currator's Collection sales, where designers are invited to "curate" Joss & Main merchandise into a limited edition "collection".  Thanks to you, my sale was one of the Top 10 Curator's Collections of 2012.  The top 9 pieces from my sale will be re-launched on the Joss & Main site from Dec 25 through 31.  Here is a peek at the pieces, and thoughts on how to incorporate them into your home. 
 


Tufted Ottoman: great as a coffee table or as extra seating in front of a fireplace.

Armless Love Seat: use it in the breakfast room as a banquette or to make a little seating area at the foot of a king bed.

Industrial Style Pendant: a show stopper in any kitchen.

Drum Shaded Chandelier: the feminine lines of this classic chandelier get a contemporary update when paired with a drum shade.  Perfect for a bedroom, bathroom or ladies dressing room in need of a little drama.

Wicker Arm Chair: the weathered finish seamlessly blends into a casual setting, but is transitional enough to help dress down a more formal room.

Club Chair: the classic styling of this chair (tight back, bridge water arms, exposed wooden legs on casters, nail head trim) strengthens the presence of this piece of upholstery.  In the Living Room, Bedroom or Study, you can always use at least one, or a pair, of club chairs.



Throws are an interchangeable way to bring color into a Sitting Room or Bedroom.  Throws also make great gifts, especially when personalized with a monogram.

Firescreen: this one is clean and simple, which will not distract from the architecture, art and accessories that surround your fireplace.  To complete the look, select andirons and fireplace tools in the same finish and of similar style.
