Have you ever heard the saying, “you either love it or hate it, there is no in-between”? People usually use this phrase when talking about
Summer might just be getting started, but the styles of summer 2022 have been hard at work! One of the best parts of working at the shop is seeing what new fabrics, patterns and designs make their way to the showroom floor each season. This summer has been all about color! From bold and untamed to classic pastels, hues of all kinds are having a heyday!
All good classic tales have one thing in common – you have to kiss a lot of proverbial frogs to find your prince. In Cinderella, the glass slipper had to be put on quite a few feet before finding the right fit, and we all know Goldilocks had to nibble a few porridges before finding the one that was just right. It makes me wonder, what if Prince Charming had taken the time to look at the shoe size or if Goldy had just stopped to grab a snack before breaking and entering?

What is going on with this June weather in Kansas City? It’s usually August before this type of heat and humidity reach us! It makes me want to pack up the family and find some fresh (hopefully breezy) air at the nearest lakeside abode. However, with a newborn at home it seems that dream will have to wait a bit.

While in the other months I try to stay away from making this combination scream USA, these are the months where it is easier than ever to bring out a bit of patriotic prettiness to existing home designs – even those who don’t share my obsession with decorating with these hues.
I have always been a big fan of botanicals in the home. From a young girl who wanted flowers on her wallpaper to an adult…who still wants flowers on my wallpaper! However, my husband and two sons don’t seem so keen on the idea so we must meet in the middle by mixing together my favorite florals with more masculine flower-free botanicals to keep our spaces in perfect harmony.
We have had so many beautiful tabletop looks in the shop so far this season, I have been truly in awe of our visual teams’ creations. This is the perfect time of year to let your settings speak for themselves in a way. During the holiday seasons we get caught up in the glitz and glam, however spring and summer are times when simplicity shines and textiles and texture can take centerstage.
