TIC Favorite Things
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


A Fresh New Setting
Happy Fall on this beautiful Sunday! As I've said before--I love the changing of the seasons and the fresh new look it brings with it.

Fabrics of the Future
With each Fall season comes new furniture and fabric introductions in the world of design. As a designer and retailer, I look forward to each Fall and Spring preview to catch the trends of the upcoming season. New, fresh colors, textures and patterns make their way into the vendor lines and many new ideas are born for upcoming projects and concepts. This year, we have seen an increase in the incorporation of outdoor and commercial fabrics in residential furniture and fabri


Fall Favorite Finds
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


Showroom Makeover
After almost 12 years in business I get a lot of different questions, but one thing I am asked often by clients and friends is "if you could change things, would you have a design showroom again?" My answer is a resounding YES! But even though there is little hesitation in my response, that element of my design business is one of the most difficult to manage and maintain. Many people probably walk in and out of furniture stores and design showrooms and never think about th


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


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


Shagreen - It's Back!
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. In recent years the re-introduction of Faux Shagreen has made a real presence in the design industry. The durability and functionality of


Transparent Trends
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
