Bringing to you our “Pick of the Week”

Thursday, September 5, 2013

AAC-logo[1]Real in Darien has many exciting things happening including a new venture with the Antique & Artisan Center in Stamford, Connecticut.  Even before we started, The Antique Center was a favorite destination. That whole area is a pocket  full of unique and fabulous antique stores of all shapes and sizes, cafe’s and a few hip shops.  You wouldn’t recognize the area now, with a Fairway Market, Design Within Reach, Le Pain Quotidien and Juliska leading the way.

The Antique Center is a blend of sophistication, whimsy and happily ever after.  We are going to start a “Pick of the Week” where we will highlight an item we both love.  We will also give you some ideas as to how they can work in your home.

 The Antique Center has created a Fabric Room, where anyone can come and meet, and work on design . It is the most GORGEOUS room created by Mari Ann Maher. The fabrics are not something you are going to find in your neighborhood shop or big box design store.

From John Rosselli Antiques.

This would have been our “first pick of the week” but it has sold already.  We couldn’t pass it by without acknowledging its beauty. Bunny Williams snatched it up; great minds think a like!  Lucky client.

Betsey Ruprecht’s Decorative Antiques.

So that brings us to our first “find”!  Look at this gorgoues grey amoire with chicken wire.  The orange just makes it that much more fabulous!  This item is a “no brainer” for your kitchen, family room, or even your master bath!  It was hard to leave without it.

The Greek Key table!

A piece of Rose Cummings velvet would make this stool stand out

The showroom is full of vignettes and one of a kind finds.  It can be daunting, but if you look at individual pieces you are certain to find a piece that stands out for you.
