I.C. BEST OF

I.C. BEST OF

So many times throughout the year, we find ourselves reminiscing about past clients and projects. And many times we are delighted honored to begin new projects with return clientele. The design industry is so very ever-changing and it is interesting to see how trends evolve and those that transition into classics and prove their longevity. We are reminded everyday that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". We design for the client-their tastes, their needs, the way their

Destination - Cabo San Lucas

Destination - Cabo San Lucas

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

Feast Your Eyes

Feast Your Eyes

With the holidays fast approaching, I felt it necessary to attempt to calm your nerves about entertaining set up. Each year, as fall rolls around and I start to think about the holiday schedule, I am reminded --I love this time of year! The smells, the glitz and glam, the family gatherings...but with all that excitement, comes a bit of stress as well. What will I cook, where will we gather, how will I embellish and accessorize, so that it brings something different to the

Beautiful, delicate....tile!

Beautiful, delicate....tile!

Tile trends have see a shift over the past few years. No longer are the days of endless tumbled marble and heavily textured accents. Our design schedule seems to be full of new construction and renovation projects and tile selection is one of the most important parts of the design and building process. Lucky for us--the industry is stacked with beautiful marble, glass and even concrete tiles. I thought it would be fun to share with you just a few of my favorite tile trend

A Fresh New Setting

LIVING ROOM CHIC

LIVING ROOM CHIC

I love having the opportunity to share projects that bring us joy and professional gratification! This Chic Living Room, has so many elements of Classic and Modern details that transcend time and make this space relevant, even years after it's completion. The most rewarding project that a designer can work on is one that truely reflects the client's personality and the architecture of the home. This stunning living space was intented, by the builder, to be a formal dining r

It's All About the Lights!

It's All About the Lights!

I would have a tough time saying that lighting wasn't one of the single-most important decisions in a home. Whether it is functional task lighting or just the right decorative fixture--lighting can set the tone for the space unlike any other element in the room. When working with a client on a new home construction or renovation/update, lighting fixture selection and placement by far outweighs all other material selections, in the way of time. The options are endless, the

Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams

Have you been dreaming of new "spa-inspired" bedroom - the oasis you experience when staying in a plush hotel suite? This recent Guest Suite makeover has just the right amount of comfort and elegance. With serene neutrals and shades of blue and green, any guest would feel welcome and pampered. Makes me want to curl up with a good book and relax! A combination of custom upholstery and linens and an eclectic mix of classic and transitional casegoods proved to be just the tic

Inspiration - Hotel Jerome

Inspiration - Hotel Jerome

Don't you just love it when you find inspiration in the most unlikely places? I sure do! But inspiration for design is all around us--textiles, jewelry, a beautiful sunset--creativity can be found almost everywhere we look. Several years ago, while working with a client in Aspen, Colorado, I was introduced to Hotel Jerome Aspen. It made such an impression on me, that years later, I recalled my time there to inspire a "Lounge" design in a Grapevine residence. Hotel Jerome

Make a Statement with Artwork

Make a Statement with Artwork

I absolutely love completion of a well thought out project. It is our chance to bring all of the elements of a design into full circle and present a home that is ready to entertain and be enjoyed by family and friends. Although bitter sweet, it is so rewarding to see a client relishing in the designs you have created! But a design project is not complete until the finishing touches are applied--artwork and accessories are the jewelry of any space. Artwork offers an extra

Ask The Designers

Ask The Designers

I am so excited to announce a new addition to our blog - ASK THE DESIGNERS! It's finally here, a chance for you to ask the questions you've always wanted the answers to in the world of Interior Design. I said it before - this industry of residential design is so personal and requires a firm foundation and relationship between designer and client. What better way to get to know you than to welcome you behind the scenes, and allow you to get first hand insight to your most

Thank you, Gracias, Je vous remercie, Grazie, Danke....

Thank you, Gracias, Je vous remercie, Grazie, Danke....

Sometimes, thank you doesn't seem like enough to say - do you ever feel that way? After being in business for over 11 years, there is one thing I know - we wouldn't be here without our customers! So I wanted to take an opportunity to send out a HUGE THANK YOU today, to all of our wonderful clients. We form bonds and relationships, we are there through joyful and difficult times in their lives and, in the end, we get to create beautiful surroundings for them and their famili

Pillow Envy

Pillow Envy

One of the hardest things about my job is the constant urge to redo my own home with the intriguing new products on the market. It's really hard to just "live with it in your head" and not bring it home! At least there is a simple way to make a huge impact without breaking the bank - THROW PILLOWS. 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

Gathering Inspiration

Gathering Inspiration

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. I'd like to say that I get a lot of time to sit on my bed with a strong cup of cof

France Design Retreat

France Design Retreat

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

Client Reflections

Client Reflections

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

Market Madness

Market Madness

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

Gameroom Design Rules

Gameroom Design Rules

Gamerooms can be one of the most fun, yet challenging, rooms in a home to design. With so much function, making a Gameroom design aesthetically pleasing - WHEW, that can be puzzling for any seasoned designer, not to mention the homeowner! Kids toys, gaming tables, equipment, and storage options can make for an interesting twist. I do love being given a challenge in designing a room, so when a client comes to me with a Gameroom and a perplexed look on their face--I say "bri

Work-Life Balance

Work-Life Balance

So this might be one of my biggest hot buttons and something I am most passionate about sharing - my role as a mom and business owner - and finding the balance between the two. I grew up with wonderful, loving mom, who happened to also be a successful business women. She is, without a doubt, my biggest inspiration and I admire how she was able to effectively balance her career and home life. This exposure in my early years gave me the desire to own my own business and event

TRANQUIL - TRADITIONAL

TRANQUIL - TRADITIONAL

One of my biggest loves in my career is getting the opportunity to design and complete a home that's beauty can be shared by all! This recent Interior Design project gave me the opportunity to work with an incredibly kind and thankful family to create a tranquil environment with a twist on tradition. With two young children in the home, classic elements had to be taken to the highest function and durability. What a fun challenge--one I deal with everyday in my own home. As
