Local Talent at Scott + Cooner

Check out the handmade pillows by Claire Minella at Scott + Cooner. I think the crinkled, painted silk pillows from the “I Love New York” collection are a perfect addition to the sleek and sophisticated sofas. Pretty good company to be nesting on the likes of brands like Cassina, FlexForm, and de Sede. Italian high style - meet Dallas.

Pure Genius. Duh.

Greetings, once again from the sugar sand beaches of the Florida/Alabama coast. 

Every once in a while, I find a treasure.  Duh is just such a place.

The brainchild of Quinn Stinson (Baylor University ‘88) and Jim Rigsby (who has no known ties to DFW, but is just as cute as a button), Duh is haven for the usually design starved greater Pensacola metropolitan area.  Duh has had its finger on the pulse of every design trend to roll out…  I’ve been a Duh fanatic for at least 9 years.

Katey Nicosia’s One Good Bumblebee

If there is one online shop that I never fail to find fascinating it’s Dallas based Katey Nicosia’s One Good Bumblebee. Inspired by her life-long love of craft, art, and paper (I bet her dad, artist Nic Nicosia, had some influence as well) she sure seems to be generating a lot of buzz. Selling affordable and functional pieces of art and knickknacks galore, her stuff gets all kinds of great write-ups, like the recent one in Domino Magazine. Katey seems to be making a name of her own with her hand-drawn illustrations and collages and we’re not the only ones who’ve noticed her talent - Anthropologie just picked up one of her designs!
