Recently one of our showrooms Katonah Hardware sent off some hardware samples to Architectural Digest including one of our F-03 pulls. We got featured in their Best Renovation Products roundup for spring! Super exciting as they are one of my benchmark publications for the design industry.

A while back I posted about my New Years Resolutions for 2014most of which stemmed around work/life balance. Well, I know it's already April but I figured I'd share some of my business goals with you guys as well. I'd actually thought through most of these early in the year before I ever started putting my personal goals together. Although honestly when you run your own business and work from home...

Last month I shared a series of hardware inspiration photoswith you. Recently I've been working with a metal worker to develop some more organic and sculptural pieces to introduce into the line. The rest of my line is so geometric and architectural that I thought it would be fun to do something different. It's been hard to step out of my box though since I want whatever it is to tie into my...

Recently I received a few photos of my hardware installed. It's so fun to see how people are using the hardware. Designer Lisa Vannucci installed the F-01 faceted pull and C-02 Classic pull in a kitchen in Carmel. I love the gold with the green tile backsplash and crisp white cabinets. Sue Reardon purchased the F-02 faceted knob for an armoir revamp. I love that she used the knob with an antique...

One of my goals in the new year is to keep my designblog a little more active. 2013 was a year of growth for me and my hardware line and there just wasn't much time to devote to blogging. I'm hoping this year with the help of regular guest posts, some graphics folks coming to the rescue and better time management (nothing says time management like having another baby right?) that I can be a little...

Last week I showed you a beautiful bar that Dalliance Design used my hardware on. Well, this week Sally Homan of Robertson-Lindsay Interiors in the UK sent me some photos of my F-01 pull used on a beautiful antique-mirrored wardrobe. Thank you Sally! Not only does the wardrobe look amazing but I love how serene and refined the whole room is. photography by www.interiorsphotographyscotland.co.uk

Nicole and Stephanie over at Dalliance Design purchased some of my hardware for a bar they were working on. They just sent me this photo of the bar fully installed. Of course I think the hardware (pieces F-01 and F-03 from my Facets collection) look fabulous, but I also love the styling. Wish there were room in my house for a bar like this!Thanks for sharing ladies!If you have any install photos...

I was recently contacted by fellow blogger Gabbi (and a New Jersey blogger at that!) of Retro Ranch Reno about using my hardware for a dresser revamp. She selected the F-02 satin brass faceted knob for her project and went to work painting - and repainting - her fabulous mid-century find. The end product looks fab and the hardware really adds a touch of glam. Check out more of Gabbi's...
