design*sponge... after breezing through the pics below, we know you will understand why!
while of course we know it is wrong to love something because it reminds us of, well, ourselves... we can't help but notice the overlap between our recent acquisitions and design*sponge's new features! take this lovely white puff of a footstool... you could buy this one, above for $300 plus... or....
you could snatch up this vintage beauty, now at red for only $78! and even if you don't live nearby, we've figured out terrific new shipping methods to keep costs as low as we can, and at this mere $78 even with shipping you are far below the above $300!!! plus, who can pass up these lovely legs, fitted with brass feet!
more of our favorites... this incredible chair can be yours by special order at red. combining old school wing-back style with contemporary clean lines, all softened by a lovely cut velvet fabric... we admit we can't resist! looking for leather by the fireside? let us know that you love this frame style and we'll send you leather samples to give you just the right look for your ranch, lodge, or urban organic home!

'the heat is on. it's on the street. inside your head...' 
wallpaper. your grandmother did it. your mother probably did your own childhood bedroom in mauve and teal floral and now there is nothing but paint for you. we understand. and yet... this month, red is introducing london's loveliest wallpapers to the texas hill country. PEFC certified (the european equivalent of sustainability certification for forest management!) and simply stylish, these papers will take you beyond the surface of room renovations!
with grey all the rage this year, Grey/White and Soft White/Grey have all the elements of style you need rolled up in one. and speaking of rolls, call us with your wall sizes for help estimating just how much of these pretty papers you will need!
kitchen, bedroom, bath, study or studio - we think the sapling collection is the right amount of smile for morning after morning, year after year!
Silver/White has a terrific combo of metallic and matte finishes, while Cream/Pink pop out in mainly matte!
White/white is a beautifully subtle way of adding interest without adding color, while Turquoise/Gold leave us wanting to see more and more!

Michael works with design maverick Robert Verdi - you've seen him on Surprise by Design, in every major magazine with work for star clients from coast to coast. Verdi and Whitney's latest collaboration landed both of them just outside of San Antonio, working on Tony Parker and Eva Longoria's new Texas home. 
after connecting in New York, red was thrilled to order two custom ONE-WAY chairs from Michael Whitney and agreed to send them south on Eva's shipment when Michael came to Texas to ready her home for the couple's arrival. we were delighted, of course, when Michael needed us to pick up the chairs from the Parker/Longoria home and even more excited to meet Robert Verdi on site for a tour of the house in an attempt to help fill some furniture holes for this star studded designer!
