DEIDRE TRAVELS

A Weekend in New York

I have family in New York and love to visit. This time I spent an extended weekend perusing a selection of my favorite design shops and taking in museums and shows. Definitely need to make this trip again — I love NYC!

Brooklyn Flea

I return to the Brooklyn Flea every time I am in NY with good weather! Fun and inexpensive I like to pick up jewelry and accessories that stand out and compliment my personal vintage collection.

John Derian Company

No one is like John Derian; his shop is truly a delight! Playful, colorful with a shot of weird — what’s better?

KRB NYC

Known for bold color and a curated mix of specialty ceramics, functional art and antiques. I love the mix of high gloss and worn wood textures. You will also find Kate, the owner; sharing on Instagram her enthusiasm for plants, which has inspired me in my own home!

Nickey Kehoe

I love the signature style of Nickey Kehoe. Their NYC shop is moody and collected, layered with antiques, custom furniture, and a wonderful assortment of linens. I have been in both their Los Angeles and NYC shops and I highly recommend a visit. A quick walk through their sister shop “Household” where functional items for the home and garden feel intentional; is a good reminder that design….?

Dutch Fred’s

Amazing watermelon arugula and feta salad before heading to Moulin Rouge.
