After the Holidays Refresh: Declutter then Re-Clutter

December 27, 2021

Another magical holiday season has come to a close. The holidays may still not feel quite like “normal” yet, but I still enjoyed bringing out my favorite decorations from Halloween to Thanksgiving to the Christmas finale! Having holiday décor around the house brings in an extra dose of cheer and I think that was especially called for this year! Now however, it is time to pack all of that glitter and glitz back into the basement until next year.

Every morning as we open the shop, straightening our tabletops and lighting up our beautiful rooms for all to enjoy, we light the perfect candle scent to set the tone and mood for the day.

The Art of the Vignette

February 25, 2019

Vignettes help tell the story of your design, and are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to change up the look and feel of a room without a significant investment in repainting or new furniture.

The Celebration of the Color of the Year: Living Coral!

February 18, 2019

“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” These brilliant words by Mark Twain kicked off a Pantone Color Seminar that Mary Carol and I attended at Atlanta Market in January. Mary Carol looked over at me, raised her eyebrows and smiled. We were off to a good start!

Sweet and Stylish – Our Take on the Valentine’s Day Tablescape

February 4, 2019

I recently received an Instagram message from a customer in need of tablescape inspiration for a Valentine’s Day dinner for her and 11 of her closest friends. She, like many of us, felt uninspired by the abundance of sparkly red hearts and chubby little cupids floating around this time of year. I totally get it! So of course, we did what we do best – we turned up some of our favorite tunes and got to work designing a solution!

An Ode to Blue and White

January 28, 2019

There are some iconic pairings that stand the test of time. Like peanut butter and jelly (still a viable dinner option after a long day in the shop for this working mama), Holmes and Watson, and of course Blue and White chinoiserie in home décor. This iconic color combo is having a major moment in interior design, but we’re here to remind you that it simply never went out of style!

January 21, 2019

As you read two weeks ago, I went on my first Market adventure Mary Carol and two of our visual team members in search of Christmas décor and decorative accents. And PHEW was it a wild ride. We’re sourcing products a full year ahead which is going to take some getting use to for this new gal! It proves an interesting challenge, but I like to think of it as giving us the ability to create trends instead of chasing them. Read more to see the Christmas trends we can’t live without.
