When it comes to little girls it is so nice to know you can depend on the performance of Sunbrella fabrics. I wanted a soft feminine room for this growing young lady and with my collection of Sunbrella fabrics I was able to achieve that look for drapery, trims, top of bed and upholstery. Not to mention the covers for the little terrace.
This bed ensemble I designed for my daughter Meg's home. The entire bed is designed with my Sunbrella fabric collection. I enjoy using Sunbrella for "top of bed" it wears beautifully.
There are no worries of the sun or spills and stains. With my Sunbrella upholstery fabric you can enjoy the view and the California sunshine. The sheer curtains at the window are also made of Sunbrella fiber. I also like large pillows that can be changed to create different decor and color accents. The Tribeca modular upholstery makes it easy to move pieces and change the sitting areas. All available at Miles Talbott and made in America.
The side tables are from Gat Creek inspired by Japanese designs, beautiful solid cherry and also made in America.
I have long been a fan of the ancient art of "tie dye." Now we have taken that look and designed a collection for Sunbrella that has all the look of the hand knotting process with the properties of Sunbrella. No worry about the sun or stains. These fabrics are kid and pet friendly.
Twice a year we create our introductions for Sunbrella. After meetings on trends, fashion forecasts, input from Glen Raven executives from international design shows (extremely valuable) and lifestyles; we begin to create designs that will be introduced at furniture and fabric markets. I am so proud of our team and the wonderful energy they bring to this process. Pictured here are Sunbrella Executives. (left to right) Robert Hernandez, West Coast Sales Representative, Greg Voorhis, Design Director, Me and Emily Cosgrove, Senior Designer.
After our selections are finalized Emily Cosgrove and Greg Voorhis enter the color, fabric name, yarn combinations, warp and construction for each fabric. We always work outside to make sure we have the best possible light for the color selections.
These are fabrics you can rely on to perform for your home design. The look of a fine Italian Damask, Venezia is a Sunbrella fabric and part of the new Joe Ruggiero Italian Classico Collection to debut this fall at Miles Talbott.
Our new Salon Chaise is covered in Sunbrella Antique Beige Velvet. New from Gat Creek is the Crawford accent table. These products are Made in America and can be custom designed with delivery in four to six weeks.
What will the well dressed room wear for the next year? As we approach the High Point Furniture Market for Spring 2011 we would hope the American public will embrace new colors, but the reality is they seem to go for "seventeen shades of beige, taupe and off-white." Why? because it is safe. We have hundreds to show them all part of my Sunbrella collection.
Probably one of the most exciting times of year for me (next to Christmas) is bringing all the new fabrics and furnishings together for High Point Furniture Market. This year is most exciting because of the color and new fabric techniques. Look for tie dye looks from my Sunbrella collection. This pattern Tie Dye in the color Linden will mix with beige and taupe patterns. The new Miles Talbott frames are sleekly tailored to display these patterns beautifully.
