Astier de Villatte ceramics at Grange Hall |
Paris-based Astier de Villatte's 18th century-inspired ceramics are created in a Bastille workshop that once held Napoleon's silversmith. Made by hand and covered in a milky glaze, you can still see the beautiful black terracotta undertones. Grange Hall just received a collection of Astier de Villatte's newest pieces . . .

Palissy Lantern by Neirmann Weeks at Laura Lee Clark |
Take it home now . . . Neirmann Weeks' beautiful chandeliers used to be only available to the trade and an order could take months to receive. But the luxury furniture and lighting company, which makes everything by hand in Maryland, is responding to our need for instant gratification. Now you can buy selected pieces retail, off the floor. The Shop at Laura Lee Clark just got in a shipment of glamorous lighting that works beautifully in contemporary or traditional rooms, don't you think?

Ike Isenhour's front gallery at E.C. Dicken. Photo by Kelsey Foster
I like Ike . . . designer Ike Isenhour has refreshed the front gallery of one of the oldest trade-only showrooms in Dallas, E.C. Dicken, with a modern feel. Among the pieces that Ike has brought in are a plush gray sofa with clean lines by A. Rudin and chartreuse pillows from NYC based Michelle Hatch. I'm looking forward to seeing Ike's upcoming furniture line, designed with his longtime client and jewelry designer Brenda Schoenfeld. The La Enjoyada line will be carried at E.C. Dicken and launch sometime in October. The designs are under wraps until then, but with Brenda's eye for exquisitely crafted jewelry and Ike's sense of contemporary style, this is one new furniture line to follow closely.

French coffee table at Jan Showers |
Jan Showers has returned from a shopping trip to Paris, bringing back some gorgeous Texas-sized period coffee tables from the 1940s–1970s. Look for lots of chrome, glass, Lucite, parchment, brass, and bronze. By the time you read this, Jan will may have already repainted the caramel colored space in her showroom into a deep turquoise to show off these beauties (I love the fact that Jan views turquoise as a neutral). Can't wait to see the transformation!
