Accessories Galore!

Hello All!
In an effort to keep things fresh here at CDT we have added several new accessory lines to our mix. Most are things discovered at the Atlanta gift show. They have large minimums so they will not be shown in catalogs, but will augment our efforts to provide you with the wide array of accessories you have come to love at CDT. We are rearranging the showroom the weekend before the Barclay Butera seminar, so you will have lots of great things to feast your eyes upon when you come in that week. Sale upholstery will vanish from our floor at that time, so if you have had your eye on something, this is the last chance!

One of the hottest trends we are seeing, at both the fabric sales meetings and the markets is what we are calling "Rustic Glamour".
Linen and Burlap embossed with metallic damask designs. Heavily distressed items with gold leaf accents. French seems strong too.
And yet, with all the glitz, things are still simple and casual. Lighter woods...I even saw light woods at Pottery Barn in Dallas!

Mercury Glass seems to be everywhere, and we will have several great pieces. Again, the mix of rustic and old with a sparkle. Its a fun way to dress up a space without being too serious. For those who just can't bring themselves to do the shiny thing, Mercury Glass is a great accent for the holidays, or winter decor in general.

Timeworks

We were thrilled to find this great collection of clocks. Sizes range from huge 31" wall clocks to tiny pendulum wall clocks and everything in between. The tabletop clocks are also terrific. We especially love these oversize alarm clocks based on men's wristwatches. Several styles available here too. Since our opening order from a month a go has almost sold out, we have ordered a huge shipment of clocks--heavy on the the small ones.

These would make a great gift for a client as a thank you for a nice order, or a perfect gift for a hard- to- buy- for guy. Best of all (for me, at least) is that the alarm clocks are simple to read and set. How many times have you been in a guest room where no one in the home remembers how to set the alarm clock?

Now you can solve that problem beautifully and affordably.
Brimar

Next time you're in the showroom, make sure to check out the Brimar hardware wall. It has been completely reformatted! Now through the end of September, you can take an additional 10% off the Manhattan hardware collection - brand new collection! This collection can do a double traverse rod. It is based in the contemporary collection.
