Root Cellar Designs Fabric Soon Offered To The Design Trade at Bradley USA Showrooms in Atlanta and Chicago


Hot Off The Press:
Root Cellar Designs' New Development! 
As many of you may already know my good friend fashion designer Susan Young and I launched a new home collection company, Root Cellar Designs.  Out of our collective passion for history, artistry and innovative design, we created our fabric collections this spring through several philanthropic design-industry events and happily launched to a very enthusiastic crowd.  Our fabrics have since been featured in magazines,  as well as big name social media platforms and blogs.  We are over the moon and recently were approached to sell our fabrics by the yard to the design trade through Bradley USA showrooms in both the Atlanta and Chicago showrooms and surrounding territories.  In a few short months, our dreams for Root Cellar Designs have come to fruition, and we are very grateful and excited.  Please check out our new Look Book below showing 10 fabrics and color ways soon offered in the Bradley USA showrooms for sale. Additionally, we are in the process of selling our ready-made wares which includes pillows, table linens, dinner napkins and more to the public through select boutiques around the country as well on on our website at RootCellarDesigns.com  We have three collections available to date--fig & lemon, fashion forward and metamorphosis--and are in the throes of creating a fall/winter collection with many new designs and palettes. Thank you for your continued support and please stop by our website for updates.

Our mushroom pattern tablecloth in cerulean and white will be auctioned off at DIFFA's Picnic By Design next week on August 5th! We donated our table linens and dinner napkins to designer Carl Lana's picnic basket for next week's DIFFA Picnic By Design at Ramscale Studios from 6-9 pm. The party will feature delicious offerings from hot NYC restaurants/brands and auction off fabulous picnic baskets from top designers. Please purchase  Picnic By Design tickets and we hope to see you there!

Happy Nesting
