One of my favorite vendors, and a company that I have been working with for years, is Aronsons Floor Covering. I figured out pretty quickly that the reason I liked them was not just that they are simply a bunch of nice, helpful people who are fun to work with, but also, and most importantly, because they carry an amazing selection of floor covering.

I first came across Pamela Sunday's stunning ceramic pieces in Interior Design magazine and then shortly afterwards they caught my eye at Clodagh's showroom.  A short time ago I met Pamela at the Design Trust for Public Space silent art and design auction.  She had one of her stunning pieces up for auction. Sometimes I just see something and don't need a nanosecond of convincing that I am besotted.

Angela Adams has this beautiful new piece in her collection. I don't often use dressing tables as they seems sort of old fashioned to me. Although I'm not crazy about the matchy-matchy chair/ table/ mirror, I think this piece would look stellar in an entry.
