On House Beautiful’s Wish List: Elizabeth Lyons Glass
House Beautiful's Features Editor Aaron Krach recently tweeted that he was "in love with gorgeous glass from Elizabeth Lyons," specifically her new Oceanside pieces. Of course, we happen to agree with him--The Mercantile is one of just seven retailers fortunate enough to carry the Rochester, New York-based sculptor and designer's glass objets d'art (and d'envy!). [caption id="attachment_232" align="aligncenter" width="560" caption="Selection of Big Jars in Jewel Tones"][/caption] Famed interior designer Celerie Kemble says that Lyon's collection boasts a "delicacy and irregularity that give dimension, depth, and soul that modern manufacturing can't replicate.” Lyons' hand-blown decorative jars with over-sized stoppers behave beautifully whether they're grouped ...

California Girl- Marjorie Skouras
Posted on September 3, 2010 · Leave a CommentI know we posted about lighting earlier this week, but we thought we’d revisit the subject, this time showcasing one of our favorites, Marjorie Skouras Design. This California girl originally started out in the film industry and then transitioned into a career of interior design. Marjorie Skouras describes her style as “fairly traditional, but almost always with a twist, and playfulness is a constant element.”
Skouras also has a line of fine luxury home products and lighting. Her work has been featured on the pages of Interior Design Magazine, Elle Décor, House and Garden, House Beautiful, Harper’s Bazaar and more.
See for yourself why we love Marjorie Skouras.
