The Long and Winding Road to Renovation
Hey, y’all! (I’m not from the South, but I can still say that, right?) I know it’s been awhile since I blogged. I definitely haven’t given up on blogging, but over the past few months I’ve been busy watching both my two boys (3.8 and 8 months), and my business grow like crazy. It is…
Read MoreChristmas Tour of Homes Link-Up: My Holiday Living Room
Today I’m linking up with this year’s 12 Days of Christmas Tour of Homes, hosted by Evolution of Style and featuring the decked halls of some wonderful bloggers and designers.

Read MoreThe Exquisite and Affordable Art of Tracy Hiner
While sourcing artwork on a tight budget for a client recently, I came across a familiar name in an unexpected place. Tracy Hiner of Black Crow Studios is an incredible artist whose abstract, colorful watercolor creations in digitally-printed custom wallpaper I already knew and loved from her High Point Market debut at CR Laine this…

Read MoreBefore + After: Window Treatment Transformations at Home
I almost hesitate to write this post, because the previous owners of our home (and their interior designer) did such a lovely job of decorating and maintaining it, before we took over stewardship of this 1896 Victorian Colonial Revival home last year. The “before” pictures you see here – from the MLS listing – are…

I have a Google alert set up for “family-friendly interiors” so I can keep up with what other designers and decorators are doing that they consider to be Interiors For Families. I could get fancier and more comprehensive with my keywords, but I haven’t – and interestingly, it’s a pretty quiet feed. There was a…
Read MoreLiving Room Reveal: Formal and Family-Friendly
As some of you who follow me on Facebook and elsewhere may have already seen, I recently launched a brand new website, complete with a refreshed portfolio which reflects some of my most recent work. The latest addition to my online portfolio is my own living room, situated in what would have been the main parlor…
Read MoreCreating an Easy, Elegant High-Low Tabletop
I have to be honest with you – I’m not much for fancy or fussy “tablescapes.” Not that I can’t appreciate their beauty, but I just can’t see putting in all that effort for a one-night-only event. I reserve that energy for more permanent installations – such as the furnishing and decoration of rooms! I…
