Our trip(s) to see The Joe Ruggiero Collection in the Miles Talbott Showroom

I'm pretty sure there were some records set this week for the most visits we've made to one showroom during market. Ranking at the top has to be the number of times that we visited the Miles Talbott Showroom. Sean and I did a quick tour of the showroom on Sunday and then Jenny (our Store Manager), Rachael (our Interior Designer) and I spent more than half of the day there on Tuesday and a few hours more on Wednesday morning. We all really wanted to learn as much as we could about the line, the collections, the frames, the cushion options and of course, the fabrics!

The showroom consists of the main line of Miles Talbott upholstered furniture as well many other collections including Rachael Ashwell's Shabby Chic line and The Joe Ruggiero Collection. All three lines are represented in our store and this week we chose some fabulous new collections that we'll have on our floor in late May/early June.

Here's what we found in The Joe Ruggiero Collection:

First and foremost, we found Joe Ruggiero himself! Joe designs all of the frames and Sunbrella fabrics in his beautiful collection. The collection features clean lines, classy style, incredibly comfortable sofas, chairs and chaises and of course, the fabrics are stunning. The best part is that all of the Sunbrella fabrics are stain and fade resistant which makes them such a great option for many lifestyles (mine included . . .two little boys and a large dog require any and everything that's stain resistant . . .hmmm, when will they make Sunbrella clothing?!) We had a hard time narrowing down our choices for our showroom samples because there were so many wonderful options.

This is where we ended up! We'll be bringing in the Tribeca Sofa in Meridian Wren with a Meridian Dove welt, accented with mitered Remix Slate pillows (these are going to be beautiful!). We're pairing that with the Sloan Chair in Montecito Papyrus (second fabric from the left above) accented with throw pillows in Tie Dye Wren (fourth from left) and a Trax Cadet contrast welt. We can't wait to see them in person!

Washington Post "House Calls" Features the Joe Ruggiero Tribeca Sectional from The Nest Egg

What a lovely surprise this morning to be reading the "House Calls" feature in The Washington Post's weekly "Living Local" section and see that they had featured the Joe Ruggerio Tribeca sectional from our store!

The designer, Gloria Borza, of Oak Hill was right on target with choosing a Joe Ruggerio indoor Sunbrella fabric (she chose Trax Cadet) for this particular family. They needed "an adult space that can stand up to children and pets." The indoor Sunbrella fabrics are perfect. Completely stain resistant they can stand up to all of that and more! Thanks Gloria, for visiting the store and including the Tribeca Sectional and The Nest Egg in your design plan.

Here is the sectional and fabric featured. The best part is that there are so many fabulous Sunbrella fabrics to choose from and the options with the Tribeca collection are virtually endless!

See the full Tribeca collection on the Miles Talbott Furniture website and stop by the store to sit in our Tribeca sofa floor model and view all of the fabrics. It's a wonderfully versatile collection that allows you to customize the size and look of your sofa or sectional. Enjoy!
