A favorite annual event has yet again come to our Spring favorites’ list. The Apartment Therapy Small Cool Contest is the yearly contest
that focuses on home environments in a small to the teeny-tiny category. Living in a small space, from 200 square feet to 700 square feet can be exhilarating and challenging, but a
keen eye towards originality and sensibility can solve almost any storage need. The entries from this contest are always so creative and enlightening.

Here are pics of my 200 SQ flat in Brooklyn.

Dearest Zealot,

After over six years of presence, hospitality and community service- We have been afforded the opportunity to open a business in Brooklyn, New York.

Columbus has been a home and foundation for over 6 years. It has provided an unparalleled leadership opportunity and an incredible education. We have cherished the time and have been delighted by the connections and relationships that have been created and witnessed on our sales floor.

But alas, it has come time for change and a new opportunity. With bittersweet emotion we are announcing to our closest friends and supporters that we are moving to New York and closing our Columbus store. The store at 787 N. High Street will maintain summer hours through July and dim our chandeliers, one last time on July 31^st.

You are our finest clients, customers and friends. Our zealots.

We recognize, we may go no further, nor would we have gotten this far without your support. Our commitment to customer service, especially to you, will be continued as we relocate our store. Please know that without your patronage, we could not have grown and earned the national recognition that has prompted us to make this move.

I will hope that you will honor me in my endeavor and ask for your support throughout our transition. We will open our new doors in New York, in the early fall. We welcome you to shop us online and we will continue to offer our one of a kind assortment and personalized service to you via phone or email.

Please do not hesitate to contact the store or me directly at suzi [@ ]collierwest.com with any questions or concerns regarding your needs. It is not simply bon voyage, but rather bonne chance!

We will miss you! Please share your love and leave a comment about your favorite CW moments!

With great honor and respect,

Your friends at Collier West

No Pony Rides, But Plenty of Attractions.
As we enter our 6th year of the C.W. Flea, we continue to surprise and delight with worldly treasures and global sized savings.

One of the best parts of being in the curating business, is the hunt and gather. Part of the role of seeker, is that you have to be prepared for all sorts of adventures. Hot days, rainy mornings, peeking under tarps and most certainly hopping into the back of a truck or two. For 2011, we bring a refined version of the experience to our zealots. This year’s Flea will include a “jewelry haven” on wheels; a 20′ moving truck outfitted with oak jewelry cases filled to the brim with baubles and bangles. For the traditional sale goer seeking the discounted deals, the Collier West loft, located at 787 North High Street, will be positioned with our most popular brands.  Prices are dropped in the space where the ceiling soars.

One of our objectives for creating the concept of a semi-annual Flea market, was to bring the experience of shopping, negotiating and discovering to our creative clients. Since its inception in 2005, a summer flea has been added to the calendar in the Short North. Friend Nikki Portman has created an event, much like the Brooklyn Flea, that brings together other emerging artists, shop owners, curators and collectors. For C.W., this has also proven to be an opportunity to discover potential new artists for Collier West, as well observe the inspirations that attract the Columbus consumer.

A brief phone call to the Dispatch and Capital Style‘s Kristy Eckert, led to an extensive interview and story by Kevin Joy. Now all of Columbus, knows the secret of the flea and its opportunity for fab finds. I suppose you could call it a buzz? (Do Fleas buzz?) At any rate, continuing the mission statement as set forth in the Collier West mantra- Inspiration is always free at C.W.

Great article: Enjoy.
No Fleas, Please
