Pst…Fashion and Interior Design are living together!
Interior design is the roommate that borrows shamelessly from the cool roommate's closet. At first she borrows a scarf and turns it into a throw pillow and the next thing you know, she's gone reverse von Trapp Family Singers on you and her clothes are now drapery panels.
Hunting Color in the Woods
When I walk in the woods, I'm that person on their hands and knees saying, "will you look at the colors in this moss!" and "this mushroom coming out of this green decaying log is blowing my mind!" There's one like me in every group. Right? Right?
Color Blocking
"Color Blocking" is a fancy term for painting a portion of something. It is a high-impact trend in fashion and home decor that could not be easier to pull off. Today I'm making gift bags for an upcoming party but the same technique can be used on everything from flower pots to legs on furniture to wall art.
Blue and White Bedroom Bliss
My client recently retired and moved to her dream home on the lake. She wants her bedroom to reflect the serenity and nature that surround her.
Kid's Bright & Lively Art Station
The walls of my home are relatively neutral, but I chose this bright teal for an accent wall in my kitchen.
Re-entry (A Before & After!)
With a little elbow grease and a few dollars we updated this entryway to something that truly says, "Welcome home!"
Let the Pattern Puzzle Begin!
I love a new project! The new ideas, the possibilities... the intricate puzzle begins! Every room and every family has different needs, goals and tastes.
Forget the Ficus
Sad dusty green puffs in the corner. You know you had one. Perhaps you still do. Look at that fake ficus. It wants to go away, far far away.
This is a Door Post
Sometimes I drive to other neighborhoods to run so I can look at their houses. I realize this is sort of creepy and you can bet if I saw a stranger straining his/her neck to look at houses on my street while s/he ran, I'd be alerting the Neighborhood Watch.
Traditional Refreshment
As spring melts into summer, like me, you may be dying for a change, even just a little one. Perhaps you want a new haircut, a new outfit, to try a new restaurant.
Don't Knock the Tchotchkes
What is an outfit without accessories? A shirt and pants. What is a home without accessories? A place to sit. BLAH!!
Toddler Bedroom: Just Add Robot
I have collected vintage (and vintage looking) robots for years. When the doctor said, "It's a boy!" I knew his room would showcase my robots.
Taking Paint for a Test Drive
Selecting a paint color can be paralyzing. We have all seen the patchwork of options on our friend's (or our) walls being "tested" for months on end with no selection being made.
Playroom Plan for Boys
I am working on an eDesign plan for a playroom that is visible from the living room of my clients’ house.
Big Tex Designorama
This week, I was flown to Texas for a design extravaganza of momentous proportions! Hey, nothing is small in Texas, baby.
Look up here!
Yesterday I visited the Inspiration House at the annual Atlanta CATHEDRAL ANTIQUES SHOW.
Chic Charity
Last week I posted about attending a party benefitting ROOM SERVICE ATLANTA. Tonight I visited the United Methodist Children’s Home boys cabin and it was stunning!
Room with a View
Funky flowers and citrus are an easy way to bring freshness and color to a space.
