it’s showtime in the city

hi dear friends! i’m just getting home and see your wonderful well wishes and thank you so much for them! you saw me through a time of doubt and i’m forever gratefuful

we are finally able to enjoy the fruits of our labor and lounge around the booth carefree!

truth is, being in the booth is much harder than setting up

but only cause we are wearing heels. we still haven’t found time for manicures. we have to do that tomorrow! geez!

but we’re having a ball even if a bit exhausted and we had  a party all day.  tomorrow we break out the chocolate and champagne   :)

if you’re in town, please come by!

goofy good fun! oh it’s midnight and i’m officially going pumpkin. i don’t know if i’ll be back tomorrow cause i heard it’s a silent blogging day in a moment of silence for japan.

ok darlings, thank you again for my boost, i needed that!   tomorrow i’ll get out of the booth and cover some of the show to share with you. tonight, bonne nuit!

    All the hard work was definitely worth it, the booth is gorgeous and so are you ladies! I love the doors, they are the finishing touch, and the mirror is to die for. Good luck to you and I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

    Lounge around–right, now you’ll market your business, which is the entire point. I have a tremeau like your’s no fooling. I bought it from an antique/designer who was on the cover of Architertural Digest in the 1990’s. It had no mirror, I put a mirror in it and the guy who did the work wanted to lay it on my frontroom rug and drop the mirror into it–I had a fit. It was ugly but I got it done right. I love that thing, it’s hung with airplane wire. It’s got the big Louis XV cartouche on top and it sticks out considerably from the frame. I cleaned the cigarette smoke stains off of the pinkish paint with clarified water, small amt. of ivory soap on q-tips (just east of damp) and it took weeks but it was worth it. Love french, can’t get enough of it but living in Placerville, CA-not much french up here. You’ll do great at the show!

    Ladies, we absolutely loved your booth over here at Robin Baron Design. When we got back to the office after the AD show and were rehashing our favorites, one of my designers Caitlin was going on about the lovely lucite pieces, the Gracie wallpaper, the Plaza hardware, etc.

    Best of luck for the rest of the show! Go get those manicures!

    (Also check out our other favorites from the AD show at robinbaronblogs.com!)
