Trend: Making the New Look Old

New to this year's vibe is a distinct turn towards nostalgia. We saw many pieces of new furniture made to look old, many of them using organic materials.

The American Antiques Show at the Metropolitan Pavilion

The American Antiques Show at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York took place in New York this past weekend. A benefit for the American Folk Art Museum, the exhibition allows visitors a unique opportunity to see beautifully edited collections up close and to speak to the collectors one on one. It's an experience not unlike visiting the galleries of the wonderful museum itself, in the sense that you are surrounded by a bounty of amazing American folk art pieces. In case you missed the show, you can visit the American Folk Art Museum in New York at 45 West 53rd Street.

A Tale of 10 Tables: A Round-Up of the Best Cocktail Tables

Harvest Wreath DIY

At this time of year, we start decorating our home early in preparation for all of the friends and family that will soon be visiting. We love to hang a wreath on the front door as soon as the air turns raw, even though the holidays are still so far away. While many holiday wreaths are made from hearty evergreen branches, our fall do-it-yourself harvest wreath is made from twigs and decorated with colorful faux weeping berry branches. If you visit your local craft store, you'll find an amazing assortment of life-like flowers and branches to create you own, signature design.
