Dean Sickler and Pacific Design Center in Hollywood

For BACK issues of Stir go to www.SWStir.com

Thanks to the good sports from Stir for their Backsides at Neocon!


Dundean Studios and Dean Sickler are kicking off their Faux Impressions Venetian Plaster classes this Friday, July 1st!!! 

I am thrilled and proud for the Sherwin-Williams Faux Impressions line of products to be associated with such an extraordinary talent and trusted friend of the decorative arts community.  Keep an eye on this blog, dundean's website and my Twitter account for more details regarding other classes this year from Dean.

Just prior to Neocon I was in Los angeles for presentations at several design centers including the Pacific Design Center.  The hip LA vibe was felt and displayed both in understated whites and funky florals. Check out this leading edge design center in the photos below:

I look forward to seeing what the West Coast Designers decide to do with our
tint controlled Venetian Plasters and Metallics!

Neocon Best of!
Valhallan's booth blew me away.  More Next Week...

Neocon in Chicago Preview

Neocon, "quickie preview"  (More next week)

I took a train to downtown Chicago from my HOUSE, not a rental car from a hotel room...(Wierd?)

I got to the Merchandise Mart early and made it up the elevators about an hour before the massive crowds attacked the buidling and exhibits.  I got some Great photography, which I will feature in next week's blog.  I do have a quickie preview of our ColorMix 2012 launch, as well as a photo of a painter trying desperately to finish a display wall less than an hour before "curtains UP!"
