Fall Market with Mary McDonald

Fall Market this year was amazing. Whether it's WestWeek or Fall Market, Market days have always been such a great opportunity for us to spread our wings and show the industry something new and exciting. This year, we invited Mary McDonald to our showroom for a presentation on the happenings in her design universe. From filming Bravo's Million Dollar Decorators to traveling the world working on amazing projects, Mary was kind enough to put some time aside to not only give us an insider scoop on her life, but also help us revamp our front showcase window! At first glance, many of our clients always felt that Moura Starr is about the glitz and the glam. Though it is partially true, we love our crystals and high gloss, the furniture still has the unique ability of smoothly melting into any interior design style. With different finishes and textiles, the furniture takes on an entirely different personality. Working with Mary was an opportunity for us to show everyone another side of Moura Starr. Like many of our clients, they love Moura Starr furniture's shapes, profiles, and craftsmanship. We LOVE IT when they put their own twist to the furniture.

Here, Shelley and Mary decided to go with the Herrera Table (preview from the Shelley Starr Home collection) featuring an stainless steel trimmed acrylic base with a golden ceruse top. This game table is paired with the Luna Chair in a rich linen blend (and the chair swivels!)

Our Galliano Cabinet is showcased here in a custom champagne base lacquer with an opal high gloss finish.

The Romanee Coffee Table was debuted with pour glass shelves and a stainless steel frame. This Fall Market, we debuted the new bronze frame with a combination of a shagreen leather top shelf and a deep brown ceruse base shelf.

These FANTASTIC accessories were brought in by Mary McDonald herself! We actually have a picture of Mary with the carved wood glasses frame - we will upload that soon enough! Overall, Fall Market was wonderful and we couldn't ask for a better turn out. The showroom was packed and there was such a great energy there with Mary. Couldn't ask for a better PDC Fall Market event!

A CONTEMPORARY DILEMMA: WHAT MEN AND WOMEN WANT

Join us as interior design pros Campion Platt and Eric Cohler air their views on such topics as how they design for the sexes, how they contemporize traditional spaces and what it's like working in an era of constraints and restraints. While Platt's design work is considered masculine, there is a sexy feminine side to his palette. Cohler has been dubbed the "Mixmaster" for combining contemporary materials with classical elements to give his interiors a jolt of unusual color and texture. One thing they have in common: They graduated from the Columbia University School of Architecture, Cohler with a master's in Historic Preservation and Platt with a Master of Architecture degree. Expect great dialogue and beautiful pictures, with a cocktail reception to follow.
