Cody Foster at William Miller Design

Cody Foster was born and raised in the rural northern sandhills region of Nebraska. He began his artistic pursuits at a very young age under the guidance of his grandmother, an avid quilter. Cody began experimenting making cloth figures as an adolescent and soon realized that other people enjoyed and valued his work. These early successes eventually led to a regional, and soon, national popularity. Cody's designs are now widely recognized and have been featured in the American Folk Art Museum. We are excited to have his line of Holiday Ornaments and accessories that are reminiscent of the 1950's and we love their nostalgic look!

Stay tuned for our upcoming grand opening of our store in Rancho Mirage in December!

Installation Day at La Quinta: Six Weeks to a New Home!

We're wrapping it up today...things have all-in-all gone very smoothly. The movers come today with all of the items from the warehouse, and artwork will be hung. Yesterday, the frosted glass was installed in bathroom windows. We also had our window shades hung in the guest bedrooms by Alf, our guy for blinds.

There have been a few snags: a pair of lamps that were mismatched finishes from Arteriors (not sure how they made dupicate lamps with extreme variations in the color), but it will take a couple of weeks to solve this. So far, they haven't been very helpful in solving this problem.

A sofa back table is tied up in Mexico. It will likely arrive on Monday or Tuesday. We may substitute a table for the big reveal tomorrow if I can find one at the Home Collection's showroom in Rancho Mirage.

Some paintwork and drywall patching will have to be done

We're very excited to have it all set and ready for the client's arrival tomorrow, so we'll have a very busy day today!

Table Tonic Pouffle and Suzani

Two of my favorite things from Table Tonic's Store...she has some great items available for purchase...the Pouffes are beautiful, especially love the metallic leather ones, but there are other colors available...

A beautiful hand stitched Metallic Silver Moroccan Pouffe with an intricate embroidered design. The finest quality leather is used for our pouffes which are dyed by hand in a wonderful selection of jewel like colours. A zip on the underside allows for easy filling.

$185AUD

A traditional, hand embroidered Vintage Suzani from the Samarkand Valley in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This large piece dates back to the 1950's or 60's and fits beautifully over a Queen size bed, as shown or a King. This one has quite a clean, crisp white base, which is rare. A truly stunning piece - bright, graphic and eye catching.

$499AUD

Worlds Away Furnishings and Accessories

Just got my hands on the Worlds Away catalogue, and love so many of the items in it, I don't know where to start. They have a great selection of iron side and console tables that are finished in gold leaf or polished nickle...the gold is absolutely beautiful. I was also impressed with their selection of lighting fixtures and casegoods- check them out!

William Miller Design Goes Retail

William Miller Design will be opening a retail location in Rancho Mirage, California. Look for our opening around Thanksgiving! We're really excited about this new venture, and VERY excited about the items we're going to be offering for you home!

600 Square Feet: New York Apartment

I love small places. I lived in Tokyo for years and besides learning to make the most of what you've got, you learn to live efficiently, quickly editing what is necessary for living. I loved this New York apartment by the firm D'Aquino Monaco. The 600 square feet of this dwelling were wonderful to look at in today's New York Times. I particularly liked this Otto Canopy Bed from Gervasoni ($5350).
