The Interior Collection

Oh What Fun! I love this time of year for so many reasons--family gatherings, holiday parties with friends, comforting food, festive drinks, and don't forget the gift giving. Choosing just the right gift for your spouse, best friend or co-workers can be a real challenge, so I wanted to share my staff's Favorite Things of the Season. Each of these thoughtful gifts can be easily used year round and enjoyed for years to come! 1. SoapRocks Echoing Earth's beauty, these little

As new trends are constantly saturating our market, it is exciting to see the classics coming back in a fresh new way! I am thrilled to have a dear friend and respected colleague sharing her insight on the comeback of Wallpaper, on our blog today. Please warmly welcome Kelly Ferniza- WALL COVERING IS BACK IN A BIG WAY.... Wallpaper and/or wall coverings are coming back in a big way. Lots of room for creativity and personalization from your private space to your formal dini

With the weather changing--well kind of in Texas--and the pumpkins out, I wanted to take a few minutes to share some of our favorite fall finds and favorites with each of you. I love Fall, but in Texas, it seems to take forever to actually feel the effects of Fall. A cold front in Texas means temperatures just dropped from 100 to 97-hahaha! But there are so many things to love about this season-pumpkin spice lattes, cozy blankets and those amazing pumpkin patches-what's no

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

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

Shagreen is back and we LOVE it! As a designer and retail store owner, I am always searching for the newest product introductions and unique items to offer our clientele. This task is easy to accomplish in custom furniture but accessories and artwork have to be more sought after to find lines that aren't being carried by everyone else.

Are you in love with acrylic and Lucite as much as we are? It has been exciting over the past couple of years to see the immersion of transparent materials brought so heavily into the design world. What I love most, is that with the addition of these "crystal" or "glass-like" elements, a classic piece of furniture or accessory takes on a whole new elegance and modernism. We enjoy incorporating acrylic and Lucite into both traditional and transition interiors and we are hav

These are a few of my favorite things.... Are you dancing around the room like me, singing like Julie Andrews? I only wish I could sing like Julie Andrews. We all have a talent-singing is not one of mine. I do love to design though! Post Market, in this industry, is so exciting because we get a taste of the new products coming onto the scene and we get to see what trends are continuing to stay strong and true. These are JUST A FEW of the things I love right now. Classic a
