Real Housewives Redo

Traditional Home has an on-line spread showing the home of Jill Zarin, of Real Housewives of NYC  fame.  The new color choices are fresh.  I love the dining room’s new light and bright feel. 

The kitchen cabinets were painted white with wallpaper used on the flat panels of the upper cabinets.  The flooring and countertops were not changed. Mirrored backsplash helps to open up the tight space.  You can see the whole spread with before photos here.

Smallbone for Sale

smallbone

Smallbone Plc announces it is up for sale after a “challenging” February.

The company, which designs and makes furniture for kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms for celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Elizabeth Hurley, saw a decline in February sales and a significant reduction in customer deposits, it said in a statement.

This news comes  just weeks after putting a financial package in place that was intended to generate positive cash flow in 2009. However, after a recent strategic review, it was deemed insufficient.

Some speculation is being made about whether the company will split off the Mark Wilkinson Furniture Line. Perhaps sell it back to the founder.

Mark Wilkinson co-founded Smallbone in the late 70s. He left Smallbone in 1981, and together with his wife Cynthia formed Mark Wilkinson Furniture (MWF).Mark and Cynthia sold MWF to Smallbone Plc in 2005, reuniting Smallbone and Wilkinson.
