Through JamieShop.com, anyone can order from over 400 of the top “to the trade only” manufacturers, including favorites Baker Furniture, Schumacher, Duravit, Clarence House, Stark, Henredon, Ralph Pucci, and tons more.

Once you sign in with your email address, you can view the list of manufacturers, linked to their site. When you know what you want, just request a quote through JamieShop, which she provides within 48 hours from acknowledgement. The fee structure is 25 percent above her designer wholesale net cost. (She provides a copy of the manufacturer’s original invoice.).

JamieShop.com has signed on as a StyleCarrot advertiser, which I am psyched about. Over the summer, I worked with Jamie on a blog post for Matouk about setting up poolside patios, and both she and her associates couldn’t have been sweeter, not to mention enthusiastic and efficient. She’ll be my go-to buying source.

Below is a sampling of items available through JamieShop.com.

ARTmonday: Lauren Semivan

I love these black and white photos by Lauren Semivan that mix girls and nature in collage-like compositions. Semivan earned her MFA at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. She is represented in NYC by Bonni Benrubi Gallery, where I bought my first photographs many years ago when I started collecting photography, and it was located in a little second floor space on a side street on the Upper East Side. (I just learned this minute in researching Semivan, that Bonni died last year; she was much too young.)

In her artist’s statement, Semivan says that her photography is informed by “the written word, painting, drawing, sculpture, and the raw material of human experience.” All images are made using an early 20th century 8×10″ view camera, and large format negatives are scanned and printed without digital manipulation.
