Great day of resourcing @bdny_fair with pal @56ths

Great day of resourcing @bdny_fair with pal @56thstreetdesignstudio! Hardly saw it all but what we saw was total eye candy. 👀Ended our day with a delish late lunch at @kyma.nyc! So great to finally meet in person @leahopebonzer, a talented artist from Colorado! #design #bdny2024 #poeticmodernism®

Ready to change the clock today and make the most

Ready to change the clock today and make the most of that extra hour of sleep? There’s nothing like waking up, realizing you have an extra hour to snuggle in. Why not transform your space to make every morning feel like a retreat… a space that is emotionally engaging. Here’s some design tips to live poetically in your bedroom:
Muted Colors: Soft neutrals like creamy whites, taupes, dusty blues, and deep grays create a soothing, sleep-friendly environment.

Breathable Fabrics: @cozyearth bamboo sheets are temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking—keeping you comfortable through every season.

Layered Bedding: Layer a quilt, duvet, and a plush throw for the ultimate cocooning effect. Ahh! 
Declutter for Calm: Keep only the essentials nearby for a clutter-free, stress-free zone. Clean out those drawers!  
Natural Scents: Lavender or eucalyptus in an essential oil diffuser or linen spray brings instant calm. Oh I’m sleepy already! 
Soft Lighting: Use dimmable lamps or a chandelier to set a relaxing, wind-down vibe. Chill with some music too… 
Cozy Carpeting: A soft rug feels luxurious as you step in and out of bed.

Need help to create a sleep sanctuary that invites tranquility and makes every hour of rest count? 🌙 Say SLEEPY

Can hardware be poetic? @emtek_products offer so many hardware options combining metals and natural materials. There is something poetic about it … the personalization of mixing different metals and natural materials resonates emotionally.
