The Interior Collection

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

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

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

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

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

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

So many of the recent trends in design revolve around neutral, soothing shades of blues and grays. These "spa like" tones can make for an amazing space, but many times, bold color pallet's don't get the attention they deserve in this arena. I LOVE working with color. I feel it expresses the true mood and personality of a space and it is so exciting when a client is willing to - Color Outside of the Lines! This Southlake home renovation and update, is the perfect example o

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