The Interior Collection

Install Day - the most anticipated, stressful and celebrated phase of the project. After months and months of creative collaboration and hard work, it is finally here! I look forward to installation and delivery days because the vision I have had in my own mind and have put to paper (and computer) will now be envisioned by all who have anxiously awaited the final reveal. It takes an entire village to properly execute a seamless home interior design install. I thought it w

This Summer I've been sharing the many wonderful travels of our staff and families and giving you a glimpse inside each personality on our team. Today, I'm turning the blog over to our Marketing Coordinator, Rhonda, for an intimate ride along side her and her family as they visit their home in Pagosa Springs. Enjoy -- I know I did!

I always find the constant change and progress of an industry to be interesting! The Interior Design profession is no exception. The broad and extensive direction offered to incoming collegiate students is amazing. Commercial and Contract Design, Hospitality Design, Residential Design, Industrial Design--are only a few options to be explored.

I am a nut for excessive throw pillows. Never-mind that you have to move them out of your way to sit on the sofa-- they make the sofa look amazing. The right pillow selection

A designer is always seeking inspiration--whether working or on vacation, inspiration can be found everywhere you look! But what about those times when you really need that one inspiration to kick start a project - where do you go for that? Well, I thought I would share a few of my favorite "go to's" for this very dilemma. And maybe along the way, you will gain some inspiration of your own.

Who wouldn't love to spend their summers in France - like Kathryn M. Ireland, A-list designer and star of Bravo's "Million Dollar Decorators". I wish I could say "I've spent my summers in France", but at least I can say I spent part of a summer in the South of France at Kathryn's first Design Retreat. I have to start from the beginning to do justice to this story.... It was the Spring of 2011 and my colleague and I, Jodi, attended a charity event where Kathryn M. was the gu

The world of Interior Design is ever changing and fast paced and we don't find time often enough to reflect back on past projects and memories. In the recent years we have seen a huge shift in design direction and client requests. The days of Old World, heavy, dark interiors are making their way to fresh, light and bright interior spaces with a simple and stress-free approach to design. Our business is based highly on referrals and repeat clientele, and with this design sh
