Down the street from High Fashion Home lies REEF, #1 Seafood Restaurant in the US by Bon Appetit magazine.  Chef/Owner Bryan Caswell was recently announced as a contestant on season 3 of The Next Iron Chef.  We had a great experience working on the interior design with Caswell on his highly acclaimed restaurant, Stella Sola.  This celebrity chef is by far Houston's brightest culinary star.  The word on the street is Caswell performed exceptionally well in the competition.  

Here is his recent interview with the Houston Chronicle.

Crate and Barrel just came out with their 2010 fall collection of new furniture pieces.  As usual, there are a bunch of things that caught my eye.  What I couldn't help noticing were the Hendrix Desk and Phoenix Work Table.   These two exclusive pieces were designed by uber-talented Thomas Bina.  The reclaimed demolition hardwood and solid black walnut lends itself to a style that is both rustic and contemporary.  The Wright Desk and Tyson Dining Table at High Fashion Home were both designed by Bina.

It's a little long overdue, but here are some of my favorite new items that we uploaded to our website last month.  Expect a slew of new furniture products to be shown on our website in 6 weeks.  Our team is working diligently to introduce over 300 new items.  This past go around, it took us 6 months from time we did the photo shoot to actually getting the products online.  We'll attempt to do it in 2 months next time.

Until then, enjoy some of my faves for now!
