NYIGF 2011: Ox Bow Decor

There are a lot of pillows at the NYIGF but one booth that made me stop for a closer look was Ox Bow Decor.  I really loved their pillows printed with architectural facades. All of their products are made in Massachusetts and they couldn't have been nicer which is always important.  Definitely check them out.

NYIGF 2011: Jonathan Adler

Since the Jonathan Adler booth is the first one I visit at the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF), I always like to start with the creative, colorful, and cheeky designer. Each year, I wonder what he will come up with next and of course he never disappoints.  I especially love table and pillow designs but the cutest piece has to be the mustache topped cork screw.  Very cheeky indeed!

Pillow Covers

I'm loving the fact that they're selling so many pillow covers now. I makes so much more sense! I like being able to just cover pillows that I already have. It keeps the original pillows intact in case you ever want to reuse them and you don't have to store them somewhere. Also, if you really don't like them anymore you can just cover them up and won't have to try to find a way to get rid of them. Of course, if you sew, you can always make your own... BUT if you don't sew here are some options:
