Credenza Craze!

I recently read a blog posted by Kealah Parkinson on BeyondTalk.blogspot.com on the word "Credenza" and got a little history lesson. Apparently it orginated in the 16th century as the act of a servant taste testing a food for the lord, king etc to make sure it wasn't poison...what a ghastly job! As time went on it transcribed down to a piece of furniture where food (the kill for the day) or wine from the vineyard would be displayed and served. Today the Credenza serves so many more purposes from a storage cabinet in a living room and office, under a wall mounted tv to its original purpose in the dining area. I recently moved my Demi-lune shaped one being used as a server for barware to my husbands office for storage. They are so versatile!

Here are some of my personal favorites!

Vegas Baby!

I recently got an email from my colleagues at the Las Vegas Market showcasing some of the new yummy products to be launched at the September show. I loved the "Summer Fireplace Screen" and the Bird Prints from ACHLA Designs and the gorgeous new bedding from BlissLiving Home. Where can I use these jewels? That is the question for all designers after every market!
