A tabletop garden affair....

The design industry as a whole is currently infatuated with all things of the garden variety. Whether it be floral prints, woven wicker textures, garden trellis’, or scenic garden wallpapers, it seems we just can’t get enough of what I have dubbed '“garden pretty.” You might blame it on the resurgence of hand painted wallpaper houses such as de Gournay and Gracie or just a general movement away from all of the geometric patterns we saw a few years ago. But whatever it is, I am enjoying this current design bubble of “garden pretty.”

One to know: Chris Keogh at Una Home Accents

One of my favorite aspects of my work is discovering new artists or craftsmen. And I love to spread the word when I happen to come across someone or something intriguing.

This summer I was accessory shopping for a photo shoot when I happened upon a gorgeous handmade pillow at Slate Interiors. Now this wasn’t just any pillow, mind you. The pillow was made of a gorgeous velvet with a appliquéd crane designed on the front. But wait for it….every part of the crane was appliquéd in a different fabric. While I did not have an immediate use for this beautiful work of art, I was very intrigued and determined to hunt down the story behind it.

Fall's color crush.....

Although here in Charlotte the temperature outside is still blazing, I am starting to see the color of the trees ever so slightly start to change. Fall is coming! And although I can not feel it, I can see it and that makes me so excited. Fall is absolutely my favorite season and with High Point market just around the corner, I have my eye on fall fashion and new introductions from fabric and accessory vendors.
