It certainly doesn’t feel like one-day away from spring here in upstate New York,
but still, we can’t help looking forward to spring and the coming trends.
This coming season we are expecting to see a big interest in Black & White schemes. Solids, stripes, patterns all playing with black and white combos.
Often used with a bright accent, but using the black and white as a base strong enough to work on its own.
We’ve explored the influence of fashion on interiors before and we can expect that to really hold true this Spring. Spring fashion this year will feature lots of black and white and that will in turn influence the rest of the design world.
With its timelessness and ability to be both modern and classic at the same time, its no surprise that Black and White schemes are becoming increasingly popular.
A successful B&W scheme uses a balance of black to white, not ignoring the clarity of the white for the strength of the black and not subduing the black as an accent to the striking white – but using both as backdrop and foreground equally to really play with the senses.

Last week Townsend Leather was proud to host US Congressman Bill Owens representing the 21st District of New York State for a tour and conversation.

The New York government quite literally came to work last Friday, at Townsend Leather.
US Congressman Bill Owens representing New York State District 21 took some time out of his packed schedule to spend a couple hours at Townsend Leather.
Mr. Owens got the full tour to learn about all the processes, steps, and people that craft Townsend’s leather. He also spent time listening to concerns about the area and the state of current politics and had some deep and meaningful conversation about solutions.
Congressman Bill Owens is the representative for New York’s 21st Congressional District, a post he has held since 2009. From his website bio: As the Representative for the second largest congressional district east of the Mississippi, Bill is working with his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help create jobs and economic opportunity for hardworking New York families.
Some of the experts at Townsend, Tim Beckett – Sr. Vp., Jared Eckler – President, and Terry Kucel – Chairman spent time giving the Congressman the tour and conversing about issues. Many of the topics focused around improving employment conditions in the Fulton County area and creating a more business-friendly environment in New York State.
The Congressman, his team, the newspaper reporters, and the NBC news team all seemed to be impressed with the facilities and the amount of hand-crafted-ness that goes into each Townsend Leather order.
NBC News 13 of Albany was there to report and featured a concise story on the visit and some of the topics discussed, WNYT News Video Clip of Townsend Leather

Everyone who met Bill was happy they did, he was a friendly and attentive person who is clearly passionate about the area and making it even better. We all felt proud to have him here at Townsend and see first hand the people and work happening right here in upstate New York.
We look forward to all the changes and growth we can expect to see at Townsend and in the area over the coming years.
