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.

Another Look at Factory Direct!

We recently featured "Factory Direct", an exibition sponsored by the Andy Warhol Museum and opening reception hosted by our very own, Stacy Weiss in a previous blog. We wanted to share some more photos from the event featuring some of our vintage furniture and some of the very stylish people who attended the event. (photos taken by Renee Rosensteel)

According to www.warhol.org, "The exhibition will be on view at Guardian Self-Storage, 2839 Liberty Avenue (at 29^th street and Liberty Avenue), Strip District.
