I know I don’t post near as much as I used to. One reason is just life, and another reason is pinterest. Before I got on there, I used the blog as a place to share amazing images that inspired ...
Sometimes ideas may come in a dream or what seems to be out of nowhere. Mostly, though, we borrow, steal and interpret from others. I was so obsessed with this House Beautiful bedroom earlier this ye...
It is surreal that we’re asking this question, but we need some help: A local production company is pitching a show about us to a major cable network (insert scream!). For the “sizzle rea...

Just sharing a little progress today. As you know…it takes time & money to get a room “done” This room is the landing on the 2nd story. Before it was just a catchall–now o...
I guess if a plant could be called designer, this would be the one. Do you not see it everywhere? BH & G (stylist Annette Joseph) actress Keri Russell’s home in Elle Decor unk...
Nicole wrote us the sweetest message a few weeks ago. She said Anisa’s wood treatment at her old home inspired her new dining room. Anisa had a two-story living room, so she added the faux boar...

Did you watch Design Wars yesterday? I wonder if they’ll ever rerun it? It was so fun to watch. It is surreal watching something that you were a part of. Most designers here in Atlanta who a...
Don’t forget to watch (or record) this Friday, April 13th at 1 pm Eastern. My partner extraordinaire will debut on HGTV’s Design Wars. In 3 hours, and in (what felt like) 185 degr...
I know that title is long. Try to shorten it–kind of impossible. So I love when we get reader questions. They definitely help when I am lacking in ideas for posts. Her question, “I want...
I want to share some pics with y’all of a recent install… This ikat rug is FLOR tiles. With the clients having 3 dogs, they can just replace a tile at a time if it gets soiled. It doesn...
It is such joy and satisfaction to complete a project, yet I cannot express the fulfillment we get from having the spaces photographed professionally. I am such a lover and admirer of great photogra...
Cheesy title I know. I’m tired. Good tired, but I’m ready for a vacay. When Anisa takes her maternity leave next month I’m planning to take my own maternity leave. No, no babies&...

I never in a million years would have imagined I would paint (and actually love) a room so dark. Moreover, I will never understand why I have the desire to do such things before I host a baby shower...
1. bad news: Our clients decided against having some antlers on their vent hood. good news: I am kinda digging them in our bathroom I asked Chris, “Do you love them?!” He said, ...
So Wyatt is out-growing his baby room. We recently gave our glider and ottoman to Chris’ cousin (so glad I wasn’t home when they got it. I am so emotionally tied to the chair where I nu...
Well, working on it becoming a cottage in the sky anyway. Yesterday our client called his home a “mess in the sky”…I guess this is more accurate. Not too long now. When all is don...

It’s Monday. Time for a few random great things… These are truly random. It is like 4 am and I’m sitting next to poor Liam whose fighting a fever. Forgive any lack of connection ...
I know when my boys are older they are gonna tell their kids that their mama was silly. Just insert “basket” anytime you hear “Penny”. We use them in just about every p...
If anyone ever found my phone and flipped through the pictures, they would probably know everything about my life. My recent photos are telling: fabric swatches for some Lee purchases… ...
We are working on a kitchen design and our client brought up the idea of frosted glass. I’m not sure if I like it. Do you? What is your take? This in’t so bad–but it is softened ...
Remember when I boasted about my cousin (well, second cousin! I’m old. She’s my 1st cousin’s daughter!), Allie? To refresh, she created these: couture out of trash bags! and coff...
Looking at these rooms with a little (or a lot) of green can make any Monday better. Oh, and I wish I had snapped a pic of these vintage ’50s iron kelly green chairs I loaded in our booth yest...
