The Interior Collection

One of the "perks" of my job is destination projects. It allows me to depart from everyday living and designing, reach into another region and culture and create something unique for each client. Our destination projects and collaborations have included Colorado, Los Angeles, New Jersey Shore, The Delaware Coast, Texas Hill Country and France. But this winter, during a cold week in Texas (40 degrees), I had the opportunity to get away to sunny Cabo San Lucas. Each destinat

As we begin a new school year and say goodbye to yet another summer, I thought it only fitting to share with you one more of our staff vacations. For this amazing "tour", Janice, our Bookkeeper, will take you along with her family across the West. Sure made me want to hope in my car and ride along! Enjoy.... “In Screaming Color” is a phrase I recently heard that I think describes our trip to New Mexico. The vast open skies are the perfect backdrop for a color tapestry so

I am so excited today to introduce another awesome member of our team and turn over the blog for a fun ride, with Jodi, on her recent trip to Austin, TX! I recently was able to spend a weekend in Austin on a girl’s trip. What a fun city with a unique vibe! We all need a little time away to have fun, and refresh ourselves from time to time —however I may have had too much fun as I came home needing a LONG nap! Our first night we started the evening with some great Mexican

I LOVE summer! Vacations, pool time, hot, sunny days - did I mention vacations?? My summer work schedule doesn't change much from the rest of the year, but my "mommy schedule" sure does. There's less crazy driving from one activity to the next and more evenings spent relaxing or playing outdoors. One thing I absolutely love about summertime is sharing everyone's travel experiences and getting a few in myself! I thought this summer, it would be fun to share a little bit of

It's that time of year! Furniture and home accessory markets are in full swing and the fresh new products for the upcoming seasons are making their way into the showrooms. Most industries have trade show and conferences throughout the year that allow you to step away from your desk and experience a different side of the business. Interior Design is no exception--home furnishing markets are held year round at locations all across the country. Dallas, LA, Atlanta, High Poin

Get ready to crave a trip to the mountains! This Whitefish, Montana home embodies all of the textures and colors of its natural surroundings- BEAUTIFUL! Some of my favorite projects to share are our Destination Homes and this one has the stories to go along with it. First of all, if you are not familiar with Whitefish--it is about 50 miles from the Canadian Border and Glacier National Park is right up the road. The cuisine, terrain, views, activities and small town feel a

I can't decide if I am happy or sad to be bringing you the finishing touches of the Cape Shores Coastal Project. If I had to answer what I like most about my job, it would be hard to narrow it down. But I would have to say, finishing out a home so that the client can walk in and immediately begin life in it--has to be close to the top of the list! The finishing details for this home consisting of specialty lighting, custom artwork and wall/ceiling finishes, accessories, ru

I just cannot tell you how excited I am to share this entire project with each of you! I poured my heart and soul into this house for 3 years, so it gives me great pleasure to be able to share it with the world and it gives me an opportunity to thank all of the incredible people involved. This client is unbelievable to work with, and we have really gained the deepest appreciation for their tastes and lifestyle needs. So it just makes me smile to explore the most special ro

I couldn't do justice to this coastal home tour without focusing an entire post on the stunning bathrooms we were able to create for the homeowners. To call them an oasis is simply not doing them enough justice. It would be a tough call to determine which bath suite is my favorite, so I'll let you be the judge. With sweeping views of the ocean front off every living space in the home, the bathroom designs gave us an opportunity to bring the outdoors in and create a true "s

Ok, I'm going to start off with a bang! I promised to share the "behind the scenes" of some of our most challenging and rewarding design projects across the United States. This project falls under the category of ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in every way. I'm going to introduce to you the 6th home designed for one of my very favorite, incredibly funny and trusting clients. We have become true family friends through this 9 year relationship, consisting of Lake homes, Coastal homes an
