Welcome ASID

Today we welcome a talented group of designers to the shop.  We  are one of the stops on their own customized "gallery hop".  Designers love the shop and often find many items that are unique.  We are looking forward to them experiencing T. David Collection.....and hope they will continue to stop in!

Autumn is Coming

Yes before we know it we will be spending a lot more time indoors.......So now is the time to spruce up your home interiors by rearranging furniture or accessory placement, repurposing items, painting, or purchasing new items.  Think about what you will be doing...entertaining?  family get togethers? formal affairs?...and  focus on making your interior space the best it can be for whatever your lifestyle.  Changing a room color can be a relatively quick and inexpensive way to refresh a look.  Seeing how certain pieces can have multiple uses will help "repurpose" existing items.  Maybe a library table or large desk could function as a server or table for a party. Perhaps you need a new lamp...or pillows...a tray... or need a chair reupholstered.  Remember that your space can take on a new look with only minor changes.  T. David Collection is here for you...to get ideas, to find the item you need, or to help you with decorating dilemmas.

New Item in Shop

This beautiful piece is a vintage, probably 1940s, cabinet with doors on top and drawers below.  It is painted black and has Japanned styling.  Not imposing--the piece is about 5 feet tall, and would work well in dining room, bar, or bedroom.  It has a great patina that gives it the perfect richness and wear.

Martini Time

These are great looking martini glasses...with frosted etched designs circling the glass.  We also have a different size which would be great as a champagne flute.  A drink seems to taste better when served in a wonderful glass.  We have a nice selection of glasses and decanters to complete your at home bar!  And...gift giving season is soon to be upon us.

Rise and Shine

Cake stands or pedestals are quite a fun thing to use for entertaining.  Not just for cakes--they can give elevation to a table set up and visually be quite effective.  Think about using for cheeses, appetizers, finger sandwiches....and of course desserts like cookies, candies, and cakes.  Using multiple pedestals can be very attractive and give a tablescape the variation it needs along with regular plates and serving pieces.  Even candles can be attractively grouped on these versatile items.  There are a variety of glass ones around.  The one in the photo is an exceptional one we have at the shop.  Sometimes colored glass or ceramic ones can be found.  These could be chosen to coordinate with existing serving pieces.  Sometimes, depending on the edge of the plate, a larger plate or charger can be placed on top to increase the serving surface.  With the entertaining season soon to arrive......think about cake plates and how you might incorporate them!

Decanters

There are so many beautiful and unusual decanters in the shop....it is hard to pick a favorite.  Some are old some are new. The one pictured is a modern twist on the ships decanter.  It is vintage, and has a silver plate collar around the neck.  The glass is pebbled.  Decanters make such a statement when displayed in groups...either with liquor or without.  We also have labels to use around the decanters to show what spirit is inside.  They add a touch of elegance in silver plate.  Sometimes is is difficult to distinquish between certain alcohols...so the labels are funchional as well.

For The Don Draper In Us All

This exceptional piece by John Kapel for Glenn of California features an extendable top for serving or bar use.  Just slide the top tray across and center it for extended serving surface.  Don Draper would definitely snatch this up!
