MDS Autumn Greens
As September unfolds and autumn begins, we're reminded of the beauty of transition. This time of year brings a gentle shift, inviting us to embrace cozy moments with family and the comforting feeling of nesting. While the seasons are starting to change, there is still a wonderful touch of green to enjoy before the leaves fully transform into their autumnal hues.
This month, our moodboard was inspired by the cover of our recently released book - Forever Beautiful! It reflects our love for the lingering greens and the subtle shifts that make this season so special. This Chicago-based project we have highlighted this month appears as chapter four, 'April,' in my new book, and we are excited to celebrate several of the vendors that made this project possible in our newsletter this month.
As we welcome fall, let's immerse ourselves in the season's beauty and enjoy the new opportunities it offers!
Make it Beautiful,
BEAUTIFUL THINGS
MDS FOR SCHUMACHER
Departing from convention, we set out to design fabrics that defy stereotypes, focusing on grounding solids, rich textures, small scale prints, and a timeless color palette that forms the cornerstone of every project. Additionally, we wanted to create wallpaper panels that effortlessly work back to our existing fabrics with Schumacher.
MDS FOR HUDSON VALLEY LIGHTING
Drawing immense inspiration from my travels in the English countryside, as well as featuring MDS signatures throughout, this collection continues to highlight traditional design and the story of color with an emphasis on brass details. The architectural elements and bespoke design lend a timeless quality to each style.
MDS ORANGE HILL FARM FOR SAMUEL & SONS
We are excited to introduce our new Orange Hill Farm Collection for Samuel & Sons! Drawing inspiration from Mark's personal country retreat and citrus farm in Ojai, California, this collection of passementerie embodies the timeless allure of country living and the vibrant beauty of citrus groves. This collection is thoughtfully divided into three sub-collections - City, Coastal, and Country - and each sub-collection is based around motifs that our firm is recognized for - the Rosette, the Stripe, and the Check.
