according to her february 5-6, 2011 wall street journal column, 'living well', new york decorator and journalist rita konig is also 'in the mood for...pops of bright color'.


holly hunt seems to be in the mood for pops of bright color, too.  for her trend setting studio h collection, represented by the kneedler|fauchere showroom, hunt introduced a collection of tinted lens tables with mirrored acrylic resin tops by london furniture designers bryan mccollin.
