NEW + YORK [D&D BUILDING]

NEW + YORK [D&D BUILDING]
July 21th, 2015

Hello all! Today's blog is more insight into our New York trip we discussed last week! One of our most exciting + exhausting days was spent at the Decoration & Design Building. With 18 floors of spectacular showrooms, we left full of knowledge & inspiration! Here are just a few of the fabulous showrooms we visited.

Our first stop was to John Rosselli & Associates, which didn't disappoint. This showroom carries smaller 'boutique like' lines & products that we are not exposed to here in Minneapolis. We ended up discovering quite a few great new fabrics & wallpapers for upcoming projects.

 

The Brunschwig & Fils showroom was absolutely incredible. Having such a large space to display a majority of their fabrics, wallpapers, & furniture is something you don't see often. So we of course took full advantage of testing out the comfortableness of furniture pieces for upcoming projects!

 

 

One of our 'go-to' fabric & wallpaper lines for anything colorful is Thibaut. Their cheerful entrance captured us right away!

 

Another showroom we always look forward to visiting is Quadrille. Their bright & vibrant fabrics + wallpapers just scream Robert Sidenberg! Another thing we [LOVED] about New York is how dog friendly the city is; dogs were welcome anywhere & everywhere!

 

 

Last, but not least, is the Schumacher showroom. We're lucky enough to have Schumacher represented here in Minneapolis, but it's always great seeing how other city's design centers interrupt the same company in their own way.

Stay tuned to see more New York loving!

NEW + YORK [WORK TRIP]

NEW + YORK [WORK TRIP]

July 16th, 2015

 

 

Good morning readers! Our blog today + the next couple blogs will be dedicated to our wonderful trip to New York we took back in May. We've been so busy lately I haven't had time until now to finally blog about our fun & inspiring whirlwind of a trip! We attended the ICFF Conference, visited the D&D Building, ABC Home & Carpet, and much more. While also managing to feast upon delicious food, of course!

 

 

ABC Home & Carpet is a one stop shop for anything, and everything. With five floors dedicated to home furnishings, accessories, bedding, lighting and rugs, you will leave speechless and your pocketbook a little lighter!

 

 

We also spent a day walking the streets discovering lovely little shops like this gem, Homenature.

 

And we of course had to do a little shopping! When in New York, right?

 

 

If you're a Sex in the City fan, you know a trip to New York is not complete without a stop at the famous Magnolia Bakery. Just thinking about their amazing baked goods makes my mouth water!

 

 

Stay tuned to see more of our exciting trip to New York + all of the new products and companies we discovered!

HOLIDAY + INSPIRED [4TH OF JULY]

HOLIDAY + INSPIRED  [4TH OF JULY]

July 1st, 2015

 

How is it already the week of the 4th? Summer is flying by! But since it's already here, we might as well embrace it with a blog dedicated to everything patriotic. Surely this time of year is filled with everything red and blue, but this color combination is fabulous all year round too. Check out some of these festive interiors that would bring cheer to any home!

 

 

Painted cabinets are on the rage these days, especially all white cabinetry. But how great are these all white kitchens with pops of color? It's cheerful, vibrant, and completely unexpected - making these rooms truly unique.

 

 

With dark blue walls and a tufted red leather sofa who wouldn't want to relax with a good book in this masculine den?

 

 

 

How adorable is this bunk room? Crisp white walls & woodwork make for a great background to everything patriotic. Perfect for all ages!

 

 

This playful, color-filled little boy's room is a great example of how a good design can be timeless. This bedroom is energetic and fun now as the child is young, but will be able to easily transition into a great teenagers room as the boy gets older.

 

 

And of course here in Minnesota we take advantage of our (barely) three months of summer. Adding personality to your outside space through furniture, pillows, & accessories can help transform an outdoor living area to an extension of your home.

 



If you're like me, you'll be spending the majority of your weekend outside soaking up the sun (granted mother nature cooperates!) Adding creativity to your outdoor eating experience can be fun & easy with all of the readily available fun red, white, & blue accessories you can find everywhere these days. Adding flowers, flags, or festive containers to any tablescape will leave your guests thinking you took this years backyard barbeque to a whole new level.
 

 

From all of us here at Robert Sidenberg Inc, have a happy & safe fourth of July!
