Re: MacKenzie Childs home decor

I live 45 minutes away from them and I have yet to get there for their huge barn sale they have in July.  I really was never a fan until my best friend bought me the ceramic vase in parchment & aqua.  It was love at first sight.   I have since purchased the small teapot, large canister & a platter in parchment and just purchased the set of three bowls in the courtley check.  They really are beautiful pieces.

I just finished painting an armoire and thought about MC for the drawer pulls.  At $30 each, it would have been quite costly.  I opted to get them at Etsy, but after installing them, I wish that I had just paid the price and got the MC.  I still might.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

I am from Ithaca and I think Aorora is not too far from there.

They're very pricey.   Neiman's carries the line.   They're beautiful

Re: MacKenzie Childs home decor

Thanks! I think the pieces are beautiful but I'm on the "backend" of  loving a new line of home decor.  

 

I didnt realize they were artisans who make the pieces & not china mass production.  Very interesting background.

 

I think it would be a nice place to visit to see all the beautiful pieces.  I did hear her mention they aren't far from the Beekman boys farm.

I have a friend who lives in Ithaca ( near Aurora ) and she love this line so much, that she always gives it as gifts. Not everyone appreciates it like she does, it is for a very specific taste, IMO.


 

Agree!

 

I never understood the fascination with this line, especially for the prices.

 

To me it looks like things I see at places like TJ Maxx for much less money. 

 

I've tried to look at their website and find a line I could say I like, but it is all too busy for my tastes.

I live about an hour away from their headquarters. When you see all their stuff in one place, they’re gorgeous. I recently bought a huge pitcher that looks like something out of Alice in Wonderland. I’m not sure what Evine is selling but the products that I’ve seen have been VERY special and unique,


Do you remember Mary Englebright.  These items remind me of those.  Very cute and pretty.
