 Absolutely stunning architecture at the New York Public Library!

Absolutely stunning architecture at the New York Public Library!

It's been a few weeks since my husband, Andy, and I returned from NY market -- but here are the highlights!  Favorite moment speed round: visiting the Verellen showroom at the New York Design Center, seeing Hamilton on Broadway {and Bernadette Peters in Hello Dolly!}, swinging by ABC Carpet & Home {can you say three floors of rugs + 6 floors of furniture, bedding, and lighting?}, and of course, enjoying all the food NYC has to offer!

I spend the majority of these shopping trips sitting in beautiful furniture, discovering new lines, and getting inspired by design perspectives you can't find in Omaha.  Some of you have asked if I can take you on these buying trips to source beautiful, unexpected pieces for you home -- and of course I will!  I'm excited to offer "design concierge" services where I can source your favorite pieces remotely or we can rendezvous in NY and shop together.

I'll be traveling to High Point next month and will be bringing a long shopping list -- if you need a vintage rug in a specific size, one-of-a-kind chandelier, or want to take advantage of market discounts at the Cisco Brothers & Verellen showrooms -- send me a message at sales@amethysthome.com so I can keep your request on my radar.

Chat soon,
Monica
