Buck House on New York’s Upper East Side is a carefully edited and curated shop of antiques from around the world. The Buck House lighting is offered online through 1stdibs. Spectacular and unbelievably priced, I now know why “the buck stops here.”

I want to apologize for my long absence the last 6 weeks!  The holidays and gift shows wiped me out.  I have fresh material to keep the blog informative and fun for 2010 starting with Friday Lights tomorrow. A sneak peek at one of our new patterns available at kkRETAILERS exclusively and at kaarskoker.com very soon!

The kaarskoker blog has been very neglected over the holidays.  As I write this, I sit in an Atlanta hotel room on the eve of the Atlanta Gift Show. As the first of 4 shows this month, kaarskoker is thankful for a successful first year of business in 2009 and looking forward to introducing our brand and love of color to even more design-conscious individuals in 2010. Stay tuned in February for the new kkLAMP collection and new sleeve patterns.
