Hey…I’m just repeating what they said. If The Knotty Rug ads don’t make you smile I don’t know what will. How about “I love it when you walk all over me.”? I was recently lucky enough to go to a yummy thai dinner with Darrell Wingo and Alan Karlin the brains behind The Knotty Rug. The store and Alan Karlin’s interior design firm are in the 45th Street antique district. The store is filled with stunning Persian (semi-antique and new), French needlepoint, flatwoven Kilms, and some contemporary rugs. The price points widely vary so go in with a size, color palette and budget. Trust me, you won’t leave empty handed.

REMINDER…the plaza is hosting its 78th plaza art far this coming weekend. There will be 30 restaurants, 240 artists and live music. It starts Friday September 25th and ends Sunday September 27th. Support the arts and local businesses while having a few cocktails. What’s not to love?

Jonathan Adler in KC
I have been following Jonathan Adler since 2002 when I came across his store in NYC. It was love at first sight! His ability to bring styles from all over the world and from all time periods together is incredibly impressive. In one room he might use his Greek key rug, a needlepoint pillow, a Queen Anne mirror and a chippendale chair. Thankfully Urban Dwellings Design is now a carrier of Jonathan Adler products. One of the first items featured in the store is the Channing Desk. It is a combination of white lacquer, lucite pulls and polished nickel legs. It’s simple but elegant. Come by the store to see it on the floor. I hope you are enjoying your Fall as much as I am!

I Feel Home
I must admit that my ideal home would have fresh coffee brewing, chocolate everywhere, gift boxes with a rainbow of ribbons to choose from, candy jars full of goodies, cakes, pastries, vintage french furniture and a lovely soft color palette. When you first enter Natasha’s Mulberry & Mott you can not help but feel at home. A home is more than just the wall color or furniture. It is also a feeling. Don’t we all wish that every time we stepped into our home our spirits lifted and whatever mood or stresses we had would be left at the front door? I say we all need some more Natasha’s Mulberry & Mott in our homes. I know I do. Enjoy!
