stationery show booth envy

In between my super designy mode and (sort of) panicking about my product line, I am taking a break to think about the decor of my booth. While I love illustration and stationery and card making and such, my degree is in architecture...which means that my true love lies in all things design! Especially interior decorating...


So these are a few booth pictures from the New York Stationery Show that have caught my eye:




I am loving the whole booth of Pie Bird Press! The flags are adorable and I like the simple shelving to house her cards. The booths at the NSS and the booths at the Dallas Finds show both come with gorgeous white curtains. I would like to build some walls to hang shelves on, just like she has done here. Wall making tutorial, anyone?




Artful Sentiments. I particularly liked this one. I have been planning on driving to Dallas and it has recently come to my attention that the van I was going to use, probably wont even make it to Dallas! And it doesn't have any air conditioning...talk about a hot and sweaty drive! So I have been looking at other designers that have just used fabric. I like the cards hung on the fabric. Though, I need to remember to bring an iron!



Pink Loves Brown. Can she ever do anything wrong?! All of her furniture is from IKEA, which means that it can all be assembled on site!



Egg Press. I have been able to find some iron-on transfer paper so that I can print out my company name and logo and iron it onto the fabric. I also like how egg press has printed their booth number directly on the fabric.



Magnolia Moonlight. I want to know where they got those skinny tables! I'm thinking maybe get some LACK shelves from IKEA and make some simple legs?



Paper + Cup. Again, simply stunning design.



Two Trick Pony. This booth could very well be my favorite. In a close up, I saw that the brown fabric is actually burlap. They somehow attached metal clips to the fabric. I think I could use that and hang my cards with wooden clothes hangers?
