The Holidays Are Over?!

Yes you read the title right! But I don't mean the holidays by what you are thinking...
I mean the holidays at Holiday House (the designer showhouse at 2 East 63rd in NYC). I am not just saying this because Art de Triomphe participated in it, BUT IT WAS A GREAT SHOWHOUSE!

I am attaching some photos that highlight the showhouse in case you didn't get to go or in case you want to see it again.

Can't wait to do it all again next year. If you like the pics then I suggest you plan ahead next year because this showhouse only lasts 2 weeks as the old saying goes IF YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE!

Art de Triomphe on TV!

Great News!    
The room I designed for Holiday House was featured on CBS.  Look closely at the back drop during the interview- that's Art De Triomphe's Bedroom entitled "New Year's Day"  Click on the link below to learn more about the showhouse and see my room first hand.

New Year's - The Day After !

Hey! Talk About a Busy Holiday Season.....

As I mentioned in my last blog, I  just finished  installing the Lampworks window, only to move on to another installation this one is for a showhouse in New York City called Holiday House. Every year, several interior designers are chosen to participate in this event to benefit the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen Foundation.  We are asked to pick a holiday and design a room inspired by this day.

Now as you all know, New Year's is a night of fun and revelry, but New Year's Day is when all the stories of the previous night's peccadillos are shared.  With a wink to an imaginary couple's night after a New Year's Masquerade Ball, I have created a bedroom suite that is both refined and intimate.  An ivory bed framed in mother of pearl tiles contributes to the sumptuousness' of the whole room along with smaller details such as  elegant tableware including champagne flutes by Versace..

The Gala opening held on November 30th was well received by the press.  The showhouse then opened its doors to the public starting December 1st. If you were following my tweets and facebook page (@artdetriomphe and Felicia Art de Triomphe) you know that getting everything together took a lot of scheduling and hard work, but hearing the positive responses makes it all worth it.

You can visit Holiday House which is actually located in a majestic Brownstone at 2 E. 63rd St. in New York City (between Madison & 5th Avenues).  Click on this link for more information.

Felicia in Lampworksland Part Deux

Bonjour Everyone!

After a fantastic team effort from Art de Triomphe, Window 25, and Faux Time Design our
“Felicia in Lampworksland” window is complete.  To kick off the completion of this amazing window, we celebrated with Lampworks on November 18^th.  Many of our business colleagues, generous vendors, and friends in the design industry stopped by to celebrate with us.  You can see some of the pictures from that night below. 

I'm excited to share that not only industry people and the general public have stopped in to look at the window I created, but celebrities too! Catherine Zeta-Jones came into Lampworks one day because the upside-down world I designed drew her attention.  Too bad I missed her!

In other great news, Traditional Home wrote an article on my window for their blog.  The editor even notes that the window would have gone perfectly with their October issue of the Enchanted Forest (oh well! that means the window would have had to been created 6 months earlier in order to be published in that October issue) Read more about it here:

Just as I am finishing this window, I am also preparing for the Holiday House Showhouse in NYC.  Stories and pictures to follow....
