Market Finds

Shannon and I made a quick trip to High Point this week! While there, we scoured the showrooms looking for new finds for the shop and clients. We came home with orders for new lighting, pillows, linens and some new furniture pieces.  Take a look at some of our favorite pieces…

Love these ceiling mount fixtures…

We ordered all of these pretty pillows for the shop…

Love this console and coffee table from Gabby!

This Ro-Sham-Beaux chandelier is coming home with me!

Pretty rugs…

We found this line of wastebaskets and loved the patterns. The covers come off for washing. We will have some of these in the shop soon!

After our quick shopping trip in High Point, I made it  back to Charlotte just in time for a client’s drapery installation!

Color Me Green

Happy St Patrick’s Day! Green is the color of the day and actually the year, so I thought  I would post a few pretty green bedrooms and bathrooms.  Also posted are some beautiful photos of Ireland from my trip there  last year! Take a look….

I was lucky enough to visit Ireland last spring! What a beautiful country! Below are a few of my favorite photos from the trip..

Market Finds

I recently attended the Gift Show in Atlanta. After the holidays, the shop started to look a little bare, so I was very excited to scout out the show for some new linens and accessories.

I ordered this great new duvet cover from John Robshaw and a few pillows to go along with the pattern.

John Robshaw also introduced a lighter weight coverlet. What a perfect way to add color to the end of a bed. So cozy!

A few more John Robshaw patterns….

I love the detailing of these Marcel Miller quilts.

Peacock Alley has a new towel with contrast binding in a variety of colors.

Kevin O’Brien pillows….

Modern History has a fabulous bed…so pretty in person!

Matouk introduced a few new patterns and a lovely reversible quilt. The fabric looks like silk, but is a sateen. So soft!

The nail head detailing and shape of this love seat caught my eye…

and  I must find a space for a pair of these turqoise chairs in the shop!

All and all it was a successful trip and I look forward to getting some of these items in the shop! Let us know if you have any questions about items on the blog!

Home Tour

Well, we finally got around to taking photos of a design project from a while back! This client is a good friend of mine. He  called me and was interested in making some updates to his bachelor pad. We selected new paint colors for the entire house,  updated furniture, lighting, pillows, and bedding. We added modern elements and clean lines, while incorporating some existing antiques and artwork. Take a look…

I should also note, as soon as we finished up with this project, our client met the woman of his dreams and they were recently married!

The room below used to be a formal dining room that was rarely used. We created a sitting area/music room. The corner cabinet was a basic white cabinet from Pottery Barn. By adding mirrors to the shelves and changing the  hardware, we completely updated the look of this piece.

We had two custom floating nightstands made for the Master Bedroom, updated the linens, lighting and paint color.
