Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Fleurette by AERIN, Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas, and Dogwood Hill x Framebridge Ornaments. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
Fleurette by AERIN
I am a sucker for a porcelain pedestal sink with a bit of character, so I am particularly taken with Aerin Lauder’s new collaboration with Kohler. We’ve always been big fans of Aerin at The Glam Pad, and I love that the starting point for this collection was the Dutch Delftware her grandmother, Estée Lauder, collected.
The collection, called Fleurette, includes a pedestal sink, a rectangular undermount sink, and a few other plumbing fixtures, each decorated with delicate, hand-applied flowers in blue or green. The blue pedestal sink is my favorite. The little sprays of flowers along the front of the basin and down the pedestal have all the charm of an old piece of china.
This collection lends just the right touch of Old World charm. I can picture the pedestal sink in a city apartment or an old country house, looking as though it had always been there. Explore the collection here!
Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas
Kips Bay Dallas is back! The Kips Bay Decorator Show House opens its doors on November 14 for its seventh Dallas edition, returning for a third and final year to the French Renaissance estate at 2999 Turtle Creek Boulevard. It’s always fun to see what a new group of designers does with a familiar house, and this year there’s even more of the estate to explore.
Twenty-two designers and architects have put their stamp on the 25,000-square-foot house. Several spaces are opening to visitors for the first time, and there’s even a home gym, a first for the Dallas show house. I’m particularly curious to see what the designers have done with the rooms we’ve never had a chance to peek into before.
Some designers have already caught our attention. Stay tuned!
If you’re in Dallas over Thanksgiving, this would be such a fun outing with friends or family. The house is open through December 6th, and proceeds benefit the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, Dwell with Dignity, and The Crystal Charity Ball. Tickets and information here.
Dogwood Hill x Framebridge Ornaments
One of my favorite things about decorating the Christmas tree is unwrapping the ornaments I’ve collected over the years. There’s always one I’d forgotten about, and it can bring back an entire trip or a particular Christmas. I thought this new collaboration between Dogwood Hill and Framebridge was an especially charming take on the souvenir ornament.
The collection features 23 places, from Charleston and New Orleans to the Shenandoah Valley, with artwork by Dogwood Hill’s incredible artists. I naturally went looking for New York, which was illustrated by Sally King McBride. Each little print is set in a Framebridge frame and hung from a green velvet ribbon, a detail that feels very TGP.
These little beauties would make a lovely gift or the perfect addition to the family Christmas tree. We’ve loved and championed Dogwood Hill at The Glam Pad for years, and it’s such a pleasure to see the artists behind their holiday cards turn their hand to something we can take out and enjoy every Christmas. Shop the collection at Dogwood Hill here.
