Stylist Stacy Kuntsel Favors Candelabras for Anyplace, Anytime

A couple of favorites working in the shelter biz have created a new company called 
Dunes and Duchess.


"Dunes" is talented photographer Michael Partenio. You've seen his beautiful images in almost every magazine on the racks today (as well as yesteryear). Stacy Kuntsel, stylist extraordinaire and editor, nicely assumes the role of "duchess."  
Together, they've designed this 
wildly romantic chandelier, 
now available
at Hudson's in Boston, Naperies in Dallas and Gump's in San Francisco, to mention a few:


A large hurricane lamp helps to create a cozy candlelit setting.

Shippan Showhouse in Connecticut.

This year, Stacy offers a few predictions:

For starters, she expects we'll see more bold color and pattern mixes:

*Craftsmanship is making a comeback. 
*Made in the USA is the most-desired label.
*Personal style rules.
