Tiger Lily’s turned up the heat at Miami’s Art Basel. Our “Tiger Lily’s Lounge” for Sushi Samba’s Graffiti Gone Global “Art of Basketball” was the exclusive hang out for Miami Heat’s Juwan Howard, Dwayne Wade & Chris Bosh. We were not only thrilled to create the lounge but to partner up with Billi Kid on fresh pillows based on his urban designs.

It was a huge pleasure for Tiger Lily’s to team up with the folks at One Kings Lane. Featured as a tastemaker, I had the amazing opportunity to hand pick some of the furnishings that I love best to share with all creative shoppers on the web. Check out the sale, buy and be happy!

Lindsey Boyd of the Laundress has a clean approach to living, LITERALLY! The crisp, whites she helps to protect with her line “The Laundress” are through out her living space.

I am thrilled to be helping Lindsey as she prepares for her new baby girl. True to her taste, Lindsey steered white when it came to creating a rocking chair for the quiet nights and early morning days when she sooths baby Chloe by rocking her to sleep.

To stay in Lindsey’s style we chose an antique wing chair and repurposed it the way that only Tiger Lily’s could. We added a swivel to the base of the chair to make it rock, and reupholstered the existing frame in a white Belgium Linen.

The outcome was fantastic. We tied together the room by adding a decorative bolster in the fabric Lindsey has on her roman shade.

A Few Tips:

• When looking for  a chair to repurpose into a swivel rocker, make sure the base has a low center of gravity. If you take a high legged chair, you will loose quite a bit of the height when you cut off the legs.
• Choose a fabric that works in your space and plenty of it. To conceal the swivel rocker, the chair will need to be skirted.
• Think ahead. Just as we repurposed the wing chair to be a swivel, someday the chair might find another home in your house. Using a neutral fabric can help in the transition.
• Need to keep it clean? Talk to the Laundress!!!

LAURETTE DESIGN FOR GEORGE SMITH & TIGER LILY’S TEAM UP

I loved helping Laurette Kittle showcase her new exclusive fabric collection for George Smith. Influenced by her international travels to India and beyond, Laurette translated her passions to textiles, debuting a full collection of colors and prints on Belgium linen for George Smith.

Once the collection was complete, Laurette came into the Tiger Lily’s work room to debut the collection.We immediately got to thinking about wonderful ways to show off the collection using the fabric as accent on pillows. Working from Laurette’s story about the collection and tapping into my own source of inspiration, I sought to create a series of pillows that spoke to the collection

For more information on the colleciton, contact us at info@tigerlilysgreenwich.com. You can also visit the George Smith Showroom at 232 East 59th Street.

I was thrilled when Carl Griffasi dropped in to share the debut of his collection of illustrations. Heralded for his contributions to the Fashion & Beauty industries, Carl has taken pen to paper in a series of art where simple lines create strong femine impressions.

Griffasi’s signature illustration style is a favorite of the folks at Mitchells/Richards on Greenwich Avenye where the artwork recently contributed to a themed Hermes’ window with rendering of the icon Hermes’ Horse. Changing gears, Griffasi returns to a familiar subject showing the female form in its most basic form.

If the shoe fits, where it! To see more of Carl’s work, visit the website, www.carlgriffasi.com. You can also commission the work through Tiger Lily’s Greenwich by calling 203.629.6510 or emailing us at info@tigerlilysgreenwich.com.
