The new showroom for the Design Collective Group opened on September 2 with a welcome event attended by several members of the local design community. It was great fun, but it was the champagne and great conversations with friends and colleagues that added the most to the festivities.

Michael Thomas, FASID and Michael Baker hosted the event to introduce their new studio at the Scottsdale Design District in Scottsdale, AZ. This new endeavor in the desert valley features custom and production cabinetry, decorative hardware, tile collections and unique, one-of-a-kind accessories from artists and craftspeople from around the globe.

Thanks to all who dropped by to help kick-off this new business and Michael and Michael look forward to seeing you again.

Holiday Wishes


It is yet another holiday season and time to take a moment to acknowledge important relationships that 
extend from season to season and from year to year.   We look forward to the coming months with hope and anticipation and share these wishes with you for a prosperous, healthy and happy 2011.    

And though many parts of the country continue to face challenges, at the end of the day, it is important to remember that it is still the relationships that bind us all together,..connecting us in a global network that can empower and sustain us in both good times and bad times.    

Circling the Internet again this year is a beautiful short video to reminds us that many American soldiers will not be homeward bound to be with their families for the holidays. It speaks clearly of the importance to remember those who strive valiantly in lands far away, so far away from their own relationships at thistime of year.

So at the close of this year, may we all be thankful for the relationships that deeply connect us, those bothnear and far and ones that will continue to bring us hope, peace, and love in the coming months.
