Since I took my first trip to Europe in my early 20's I fell in love with the beautiful antiques that filled the quaint hotels and the treasured pieces of centuries old furniture that stood guard in the historic castles I visited. I knew then, that my life would be a journey in pursuit of finding unique antiques that charmed me wherever I went....
Cory Pope & Associates, with a 6,000 square foot showroom at the International on Turtle Creek, philosophy is quite simple; provide the best possible products and services that money can buy.
New Sponsor (DG Publishing), new night (Wedneday before Metrocon10), new venue (The International on Turtle Creek) and new ticket price ($10).... everything was new, new new at the 2010 Legacy of Design Award Ceremony last week, hosted by ASID Texas. Over 60 DFW designers and design firms took home beautiful, handmade glass awards (created by David Gappa of Vetro Art Glass) for their stunning interior projects this year.
Bill and Sharon McGannon opened McGannon Showrooms 30 years ago as a wholesale furniture and accessories showroom selling to interior designers, architects and facility managers. They focus on residential and hospitality and offer over 57 lines of custom order furniture and accessories for a variety of design solutions To The Trade. Their 20,000 sq ft showroom located in the Dallas Decorative Center offers the Interior To Go program which means there's no waiting time.
What is a "second sale"? Twice a year Vetro Fine Art Glass invites you to shop their creations that didn't quite make the gallery cut. There might be a slight imperfection, color variance or maybe they just didn't favor the piece as much as another. All the same, they love offering their fine art glass seconds at 25% to 75% off retail. Owner David Gappa staggers the seconds inventory by bringing out new pieces every week.
A native Texan, born in Fort Hood and raised in Fort Worth, David Gappa discovered and embraced his love of art from a very early age, spending countless hours exploring his creative talents and honing his skills in numerous artistic mediums …painting, sculpting, sketching, and drawing to name just a few.
