Friday Favs, Dark Wood Floors
The Mr.’s favorite thing in a house is dark hardwood floors. When I say dark, I mean DARK. If it were up to him we would literally have lacquered black floors. While I also like the look of super dark hardwood floors, the fact that we have a yellow lab and I am constantly cleaning read more…
Mom’s New Dining Room Wallpaper is Up!
Mom had new Dana Gibson for Stroheim Wallpaper installed in her dining room the other week and it’s crazy so her. The woman officially has 19 different patterns on her first floor!

Friday Favs: Christmas Decorations
Since we will not be able to move into our new house until after the 25th, we are forgoing Christmas decorating at the apartment.

Banquette and Bathroom Project
We have a brand new bathroom and built in dining room banquette at the apartment! The apartment has always been short on storage, so we decided to add some cabinetry and a banquette in the “dining room.” While we were doing that little project we also ripped out the old 1940’s tub and wall tile read more…
Alexa Hampton at Market
We ordered so many great new lamps and chandeliers for the Studio while in High Point the other week, but one of our favorite showrooms from Market this year happened to be Hickory Chair. We had the pleasure of meeting Alexa Hampton (!!!) in the showroom, and I had no idea how talented of an artist she is. Obviously read more…
Saying Goodbye To A Legend… Oscar de la Renta
Oscar de la Renta was one of those men who encompassed all things beautiful and wonderful about both the design and fashion world. From his homes, to his gardens, to his ball gowns, everything about Oscar de la Renta was fabulous. I would be hard pressed to find an Oscar de la Renta collection I didn’t love- read more…
Friday Favs- Mega Studio Sale!!!
I keep meaning to post about so many apartment updates, mainly our new bathroom which is almost done, as well as our new built in banquette in the dining room. However, due to the fact that the Mr. and I put an offer in on a house this week which was accepted, I thought I read more…
Niermann Weeks for Visual Comfort
A few weeks ago, Niermann Weeks announced they are partnering with Visual Comfort to launch a new lighting collection exclusively for Visual Comfort. Lighting is one of the most important elements in design, so when our VC rep told me about the new line I was beyond excited. The idea of lighting designed by Niermann Weeks paired with the Visual read more…
