As I’ve been working on our family room in our new house, as well as finding area rugs for a couple clients, it’s got me thinking of something that comes ups a lot in projects: What size to do for an area rug? All too often, we walk into client’s homes and see a beautiful […]
HomeGoods Here We Come!

We were on the look out for a few of our clients, some inspiration holiday vignettes, as well as ourselves! Here are a few things that caught our eye… Funky, sculptural pears […]
Tuesday’s Tips ~ Color Change
I can’t tell you how many times Gina and I have worked with clients who have started off the project by telling us that they want to change the color of their space. Only to find out, after many hours and many design possibilities, that they have been led to believe that they want to […]

Tuesday’s Tips ~ Finding Inspiration
A comment we get all the time from clients when starting a new project is “I don’t know where to start. I don’t even know what style I like.” Sometimes it is difficult to narrow in on what styles you like in furniture-curvy or straight; what colors you like-warm or cool, etc. And throw in […]
Fireplaces
Hope you all had a great weekend! This weekend we finalized our master bedroom fireplace surround and mantle. This is what it looked like when we bought the house. Interesting, right? I’ve been looking through Pinterest a ton lately, trying to find inspiration for my home, my clients’ homes, and just for pure fun! […]

It’s starting to get a little cooler around here and even though I still have piles of boxes around my house and things that still need some serious organizing and decorating, I wanted to bring a little bit of warmth and coziness to our new house. So I did a little bit of shopping this […]
Tuesday’s Tips ~ Paint Brushes
Since all I seem to be doing is painting around here, I thought I’d share a little tip I learned from a friend yesterday that I will be trying out! If you’re painting and you get interrupted by a waking child or you’re just done for the day, but plan on continuing bright and early […]

Over the weekend my husband inherited some old family letters. Saturday night we stayed up late, until about 2:30am (I guess that’s actually Sunday morning) reading the letters out loud to each other. We discovered things about his grandma and great grandparents that might have been lost in time had the letters not been here […]
