To all of our friends at Interior Design - Congratulations on 75 years of delivering the latest news, leading trends and cutting-edge products to our industry. And dare we leave out all those amazing parties, including the milestone celebration on Wednesday night?!? Cindy Allen sure knows how to throw a bash!

The calendar-girls hit the show yesterday and saw lots of our favorite friends (Hi Troy!!). Overall, the scene was rather civilized and is getting better every year. To cap it off, there was a convenient coat check near the entrance, perfect for our bulky down North Faces.

Some observations:

* Kudos to DouglasHomer for their funky press kit packaging
* Loved the Shoji screens and the super comfy chair propping the booth (Bamboo Modern)
* Parents-to-be take note, DucDuc has the all the right ideas – eco, flexible designs that will make child-proofing a home hip
* Couldn’t get enough of those Tom Dixon lights at the entrance
* Clever signage BDDW! We wanted to grab a piece of chalk ourselves and let everyone else know how much we loved the booth.
* Shout out to DESU Design, Pryor & Williams and the other Brooklyn-based exhibitors. Can’t wait to see more goods at BKLYN DESIGNS.
