How A Few Yards of root cellar designs' Wallpaper and Fabric Drastically Changed My Interiors
Preparing for the Cold Weather Ahead
{think pumpkins, apple pie & bringing cozy indoors}
Hi Friends,
In the weeks ahead, you may find me foraging the local farm stands to pick out fun-shaped pumpkins and gourds, and then home to dabble in a bit of baking. I revel in the cooler season and how that changes our home. This season, I attended theFuture of Homeconference sponsored by Business of Home magazine, as well as What's New What's Next in New York City supporting our New York City representative, Profiles who recently renovated their stunning showroom.
I am thrilled to note we at root cellar designs now have 17 showrooms and representatives supporting our line to the design trade, and we are pleased to welcome two new additions to the root cellar designs' family- Robin Manzi from Manzi Mackay Consulting in Connecticut, and Area International Showroomin Chicago. We encourage designers in these areas to reach out to view our full line of fabric and wallpaper. Please see our list of representatives around the country.
I am happy to share new designs in my New York City home where I utilized a few rolls of our wallpaper and only a few yards of fabric from our newest collections, Enchanted & Big Personality
