Just Arrived: New Fall 2013 Vintage at Weisshouse

Our buyers just returned from fall market with a truck load of amazing vintage finds like a 6' wide apothecary cabinet, a rustic work bench that could be re-purposed as a desk or table and a set of ten adjustable height chrome stools just to name a few. We plan to feature as many of our new vintage arrivals as we possibly can in the coming weeks, but this little collection was inspired by a tour on Apartment Therapy of a couple who know how to mix rustic and eclectic pieces with a result that is a warm, inviting home for two! Check out the complete story here. Visit our website to view our entire vintage and unique collection or stop by or showroom.

Pretty Spring Pastels at Weisshouse

This spring IS all about color, but it's not just bold, saturated color that's getting every one's attention. Pastels are just as fun and offer a more relaxed, subtle approach for adding little pops of color into your home this spring. A few of our favorites include the following pastel colors: yellow, green (we are loving mint this season), purple and turquoise. Mixing pastels with neutrals like dune and gray offers a tranquil escape for the eye.

Check out a few of our favorite pastels (pictured) and stop by our showroom or visit our website for even more design inspiration. As always, one of our interior designers will be happy to show you how to "work" spring's hottest trends and put them all together perfectly!

Clearly Gorgeous: Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams' Claro Collection

Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams recently introduced their spring collection for 2013 and everyone is buzzing about it. We love the new "Claro" collection which consists of three stunning bent glass table options: the cocktail table, the nesting tables and an elegant side table. 

"Simplicity is striking in these beautifully curved tables in bent glass with a beveled edge. A classic modern designer look with a light visual footprint." - mgbwhome.com

What's New at Weisshouse? Color!

The hard-working and talented interior designers (and an intern) at Weisshouse just completed a massive undertaking at the showroom. This undertaking is also known as a whole store move that takes place several times a year, typically after our sample sale. We have just received and will continue to receive new merchandise all spring long. Below are several photos taken at Weisshouse that highlight new trends, vintage finds and classic, Weisshouse style.

Andy Warhol Inspired Color POPS In This Year

This year, it's all about playing it safe, but adding pops of color whenever and wherever you can! Last week, we blogged about a new Global trend, minimalism. Minimalism is defined by Merriam-Webster as "a style or technique (as in music, literature, or design) that is characterized by extreme spareness and simplicity." This year's minimalism trend means adding bright, colorful art, accessories and other various decorative touches to enliven and awaken your senses, mood and home. We were inspired by the work of Andy Warhol and particularly the iconic, pop art that he created in the 1960 s. Check out a few of our favorites below paired with a selection of pop art-inspired accessories that you can find at Weisshouse.

Weisshouse Chimes in on Global Design Trends

There are so many new design trends hitting the pages of magazines like Interior Design, Dwell, Architectural Digest and Lonny Mag for 2013. Some of these trends have even gone global. One of the hottest design trends to go global is "Minimalism". There are many creative ways to approach this trend without looking too institutional. One of the ways a minimal interior can be both soothing and simple and playful is to use hints of bright, beautiful color! Choose your main pieces (sofa, chairs, tables, lighting) in a crisp white or soft, natural linen and choose colors that speak to you to elevate your interior and add some personality with accessories. Colorful striped wall paper, bright pillows, artwork and painted focal walls are all effective in adding just the correct dose of color. We love how husband-and-wife team, Katarzyna and Tomasz Widawscy favor minimalist, white interiors but added pops of color to make their clients with two young children happy. Their clients asked that bright color figure prominently in the 970-square-foot Warsaw apartment. Check out the complete story here featured on www.interiordesign.net. Create your very own minimalist interior with the help of Weisshouse and our talented team of designers!

It's So Easy Being Green

Emerald may be the Pantone color of 2013, but we are loving all shades of this soothing color right now. Green is everywhere! Rugs, upholstery, lighting...you name it and it's coming up green. Maybe it's just human nature yearning for spring and new life and no other color says new life quite like green does. We anticipate seeing green a lot at this year's spring market in April. For now, we'll be content with current trends in green and a few of them are pictured below (all available at Weisshouse). Shop the last days of our January sale to get a little green and save a little green too.
