We got a sneak peek at what’s coming out of the New York International Gift Fair taking place next week. The HomePort Collection will be featuring this fabulous combination of antique-styled ornamentation paired with eco-friendly modernity. Scrolling metal brackets support a natural mango wood shelf that is both functional and stylish. Shelf measures 38" x 8" x 9."
Also, we love how this accessory pops against dark walls. It reminds us of a great room we recently saw from Sherwin-Williams. In the photo below, the company promotes its new matte black paint for a dramatic impression. Look for SW 6258 Tricorn Black, SW 6991 Black Magic, SW 6993 Black of Night and SW 2936 Black Emerald. Whereas earth tones dominate Kansas City metro area homes, matte black also offers a surprisingly cozy finish. If a whole room is too much of a leap, start with one wall and add some glossy or textured accessories; definitely balance with white trim and add pops of color like teal or pink.
