I'm a believer in that old "too many cooks in the kitchen" saying, but last week was a little different. My friend, V, and I traveled to Charlotte to transform a dated two bedroom model apartment into a sophisticated space sure to wow and dazzle future residents. Knowing I was going to make this transformation in just two short days, I decided to enlist the help of my dear friend V. The only items done ahead of time were the painting and moving of old furniture. In just 48 hours, we assembled and made beds, hung and steamped drapery, stuffed pillows, mounted pictures and placed accessories as fast as two of the slowest ladies in the Southeast could have done. Probably also didn't help our time crunch that neither one of us can deny our weakness for a good linen(drapery, bedding, pillows, you name it), so it was hard to avoid that occassional stop, look and feel. I couldn't have done it without her in that short amount of time, so what you are about to see is what I will refer to as the work of "V & V" ;) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see, we were not focused on professional photography, only getting the job done. I was flying through taking pictures as we completed each room, so half of the photos were taken in the daylight and the other half at night. That's one of those things you look back at and think 'Damn! Why didn't I put more effort into those pictures?' Anyway, teamwork really helped pull this one together! I loved one of the things V said as we were finishing up the install - "I always thought they were being dramatic and making it up on those shows when the designer is going crazy on install days, but now I know that's really how it is!" So true, and so goes a day in the life of a designer! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to recover 2 ottomans I had, and use the bold 6" trim along the bottom of each one. I have had a love/hate relationship with these ottomans in the past. I bought them a long time ago, and loved the giraffe print at first, but oh so cheesy now! Do you ever wonder "what the hell was I thinking when I chose that?". That has been my thought for the past few years about these things. I gave the ottomans the boot for awhile. The problem is they are so darn functional and comfortable I just couldn't part with them, and one managed to sneak its way back into our living room as my permanent foot rest, coffee table, and semi-desk on the weekends. After much deliberation over the right fabric to compliment this trim, the pair of ottomans are back in the living room full time and looking much better! Check out the before and after below...</span><br />

Literally since January One, it has been non-stop, working on projects round the clock. I'm sure some of you have given up on me, and started following other fabulous interiors blogs who actually post on a regular basis. But for those of you still following me, thank you, and I do have something so very fun to share. Over the past two months, I have scoured hundreds, probably thousands, of fabric samples, swatch books and cuttings for various projects. In the midst of all that chaos, Schumacher launched its Mary McDonald collection! This was such a refresher and a nice little break to see something new, creative and fun. For those who watch Million Dollar Decorators on Bravo, you know Mary well I am sure, but for those that don't, Mary is an incredibly talented designer and a favorite of mine. Just like her work, this fabric line does not dissapoint. The price point is great, and the range of patterns and colors offered is perfect (not too little and not too much)! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Check out these gorgeous 6" trims that would be a perfect detail on drapes or the skirt of a chair or sofa. To trim out a bedskirt in one of these would look amazing as well! That one just popped into my head, and is now <em>another</em> way I would love to incorporate these borders into my scheme at home. </span><br />

The tree is up, and I have finished my wreath for the Festival of Wreaths. We went to Raleigh for the Holiday weekend, and found a North Carolina Fraser Fir we just couldn't pass up. In all our excitement about finding the perfect tree, we failed to put any thought into the logistics of getting an eight foot tree home in a 5 Series BMW. Let's just say there were a lot of stops, including one at a Food Lion in small-town North Carolina where string from the butcher counter was used to secure the tree again. It's laughable now, but not really that funny at the time! After the roughly seven hour car ride, the tree made it with plenty of needles intact, and it is now standing tall in the living room. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But first, here is my wreath, "Yuletide Eucalyptus", temporarily hanging on our front door. The fresh Eucalyptus smells amazing and the bow was fashioned out of Schumacher's "Caribou Embroidery" from the new Luxe Lodge collection. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I mentioned, there was quite a bit of shifting and rearranging pieces of furniture. One chair was moved into the kitchen, and I didn't think its pink velvet was quite the right look, so of course that had to change. I quickly recovered that chair earlier today, and am really pleased with the outcome! I love to move pieces around the house for this very reason - keeps things looking fresh!</span></div>

November seemed to fly by and here we are, the day before Thanksgiving! This month evidently flew so quickly for me that I forgot my obligation to make a wreath for this year's Festival of Wreaths at the Charleston Place hotel. Each year a handful of local Charleston designers put their talented design efforts into making a wreath for the annual Festival of Wreaths, which are then auctioned off at the cocktail party. However, they are due in November so each one can hang on a door of one of The Shops at Charleston Place to be on display for a couple weeks. I completely forgot that they were due last week, and now I have to create some wondrous masterpiece of a wreath ASAP. So yesterday I thought I would go take a sneak peek at the other wreaths that are now hanging. My aplogies to the lonely store that doesn't have their wreath on Black Friday because of me! I didn't get photos of every one, but I got shots of quite a few and they are all super original and amazing! It's interesting to see each designer's style present in their wreath. Oh, and the other part about the wreaths in this festival is it has to have a theme, whatever you like, but it has to have a theme and a title to go along.</span><br />

Wondering what Elle Decor considers "luxury", I immediately opened flipping until I found the Editors letter (the only editors letter I read religiously every month), and found a very pleasing explanation of his idea of luxury. Everyone has their own definition, but Michael Boodro, Editor in Chief of Elle Decor says "luxury has to do with comfort, and that stems from being at ease with oneself. Luxury can be expensive, but it is not defined by wealth or how much something costs. (And certainly spending a lot of money is no guarantee of luxury-or taste.)" I couldn't agree more and I couldn't have said it better myself!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">After reading this and scouring this excellent issue, I've been thinking </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">a lot about what I consider luxuries in life and how I live. Realizing that many of my luxuries are small things in my day to day, I thought I would share some with you in hopes that it may inspire you to take a moment and think about the things in your day to day life that keep <em>you</em> smiling and feeling happy.</span><br />

Classic. Elegant. Easy. These are all words that run through my mind when I look at this space. It is of course also beautiful, chic, and all that jazz, but everyone wants simple and easy if at all possible. That is why I want to focus on this particular look - because it represents good design that is straightforward, timeless, not too costly to pull off, and SIMPLE. Consider this a perfect base design to leave just the way it is, or layer in the fabrics or colors you are loving at the moment. In the cooler months when you want that warm cozy feel, throw down a chic rug or add pillows or small furs to the chairs. The brick floors do add quite a bit of character, but gorgeous hardwoods have the same effect. This the perfect look to update a sunroom, breakfast nook or dining room. </span><br />

It was 10 years ago in 2002 that Phillipe Starck designed the first ghost chair, and it has remained a beautiful staple ever since. To me, this chair is now a classic, and it was only recently that I came across the best deal on a set of 4 that I have seen yet. </span></div>

I left the house at noon for a 1:30 in Mt. Pleasant, knowing it would take me longer to get there because of all this rain. I ended up abandoning my car, after only getting around the block, at the highest point I could possibly find in the Hardee's parking lot in downtown Charleston. I then treked back home where I walked through water that flooded over my Hunter boots. Man, do those boots come in handy up until you reach over 2 feet of flood water! You name it, and I saw it floating down the street - sheets, street signs, cars, garbage cans, etc... And to think, low tide was at noon today. Wait til high tide at 6! </span><br />

Viverehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03504998072127026026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550240949855840450.post-78640790205519158402012-08-14T12:43:00.000-04:002012-08-30T09:30:11.623-04:00ART: It's Personal<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On a recent quest to find just the right piece of artwork for a space, I found myself pulled in numerous directions about what style of art to use. I agree with those who believe a work of art should not be bought just to fill an empty space on the wall. The style of the art should fit with the character or enhance the space. For some, it's a way to show status or wealth. Others use it as an outlet to express themselves. But above all, it should be something you love. I tend to lean towards more modern or abstract art, but then again I love a beautiful, classic framed painting. I guess you could say my broad taste in art expresses my openness to several styles. I find it intriguing researching how people use art in a space, and I say that after hours scouring magazines and the internet. Below, are my top picks exemplifying how art compliments, enhances, and adds the important layer of character to a room. As for that previously mentioned piece of art I am looking for, the search continues! </span><br />

I have After pictures of my not-so-new-anymore house. Better late than never I guess. Unfortunately, this doesn't show all of the house. I still haven't finished all I wanted to get done, but it's just the way it goes - my client's spaces always come first. So happy though to finally have our table. Four Corners Woodworking out of Charleston did excellent work. It was constructed out of reclaimed heart pine and sanded down to a like-new, smooth finish. After it was delivered, we simply applied a coat of tongue oil to bring out the colors of the wood.</span><br />

Now, many posts later is Part 2 of that client's home. As I mentioned in the previous post, this client understood that good design doesn't happen over night, so we were able to spend time working together to develop a space that was exactly what she and her husband wanted. Every detail of the design was selected with purpose, and I think it's very important to follow this instead of purchasing something to just fill an empty space. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We just recently had the photo shoot and here are some of my favorites! I was drawn to the detail shots because they seem to show best the feel of the home when you are there. You can really get a sense of the textures and materials we used to create this relaxing and cool space. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This last shot is of the husband's bathroom. We were all so pleased with the wallpaper and the way it created such a masculine and rich space. It was a bold choice for the husband, but it was the right one. #perfectmaleclient ;-)</span></div>Viverehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03504998072127026026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550240949855840450.post-91752209164210748402012-06-27T12:10:00.001-04:002012-06-27T12:10:45.130-04:00What's Hot in Atlanta<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just returned from a quick trip to Atlanta. It was a busy two days and two nights. Had dinner with friends both nights, visited a client's new home and spent the entire day on Monday at ADAC. If you aren't familiar with ADAC, this is the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center and it is a designer's playground filled with fabrics, furniture, lighting, carpet and tile. There are 5 floors of one gorgeous showroom after another, and for those designer's like me that don't get to Atlanta often, you have to cover a lot of ground while there to get to see everything you need. I spent all day Monday showroom hopping, trying to take it all in and select fabrics, lighting and furniture that I thought would work for my clients. You can't take pictures everywhere, but I tried to document as many of my favorite items for future reference. So here you have it, this is my list in pictures of my favorite pieces and what's hot in Atlanta right now. </span><br />

I found this interesting because I've never had a client mention wanting one in the past. I personally could never have one because the OCD cleaner in me would constantly be wiping it down. I feel like anything would show on it, and that would drive me crazy! However, that doesn't mean I don't think they are super chic, because they are, and I am excited about the opportunity to put one in a space. So while I was on my search for a few options for my two clients, I thought I would report back on the best ones out there and what kind of space they look best in. </span><br />

They range from indoor/outdoor fabrics to soft linens to others heavy enough for hospitality/contract use. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are such cheerful prints perfect for the summer. The two coral prints in orange and blue at bottom right are indoor/outdoor. Don't you love? I'm thinking about using the fabric in the top right corner, Bloomsbury, for some pillows. </span><br />

I attempted to sit down and write this post on Monday, and then again yesterday, but things kept coming up, one being an opportunity to design a shoe store on King Street. That would be a great project for sure! All fingers crossed! I have so many fun projects as of late that I want to share on here, but I have barely had time to properly photograph them, including my new home. Actually, still trying to get it finished. For instance, our new coffee table is sitting on a freight truck in some other state yet to be delivered. The table I'm having made for our kitchen is still "under construction", and I can't seem to find a time to sit down and finish window treatments or the pillows for the bed. BUT, here is a sneak peek of the new coffee table that I am so excited about.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While I'm on the subject of furniture, I went to the local Knoll showroom yesterday to select some pieces for a project. If you aren't familiar with Knoll, it is a phenomenal furniture company that produces all the great classic pieces. These pieces</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> are truly museum quality, and any of us would be so lucky to own just one. You probably are most familiar with the Barcelona chair, pictured below. It was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929. Such a gorgeous chair!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now, back to my story. So I get to the showroom and find that my fabulous Knoll rep had so perfectly set up our meeting space. If only every meeting was like this with fresh cut flowers and Starburst jelly beans (my favorite), all laid out on a beautiful Knoll marble top table!</span></div>

Typically, a new fabric collection will have a couple styles that steal the show, and the rest are sleepers. However, this collection is versatile, rich and truly beautiful. There is something natural and exotic about the line that draws me in, not to mention the color combinations are refreshingly new. I guarantee you will see at least one fabric that makes you want to splurge a little and have something amazing made. </span><br />

I covered a lot of ground this weekend, but more importantly I saw some beautifully designed spaces. I always love to see another designer's work in person. It's a good way to take a step outside of your own work and see what other's are doing. A fresh perspective of sorts! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Starting off the weekend in Charleston, I stopped by Novel on King Street to check out the Living Vintage event going on through the weekend. Inspired by the vintage photograph in the second image below, local interior designer Angie Hranowsky and Lauren Lail of Library: Archives of Fashion created vignettes of interiors and outfits. It was a beautiful collection of vintage fashion and decor, and a fabulous idea to combine the two and showcase this way. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Saturday, I headed to Charlotte to stay with family, and meet with a design firm about collaborating on some projects. I also squeezed in a quick trip to Ikea. I'm talking quick, like we got there around 8 pm and they close at 9 pm. It was speed shopping at its finest! Throwing stuff in the cart left and right. Amazing how far 100 bucks goes there! They have the best prices on fun storage boxes, by the way. On Sunday, I met at the design firm's office, which is in a gorgeous older home in the Meyers Park area. They have done an amazing job transforming this home into a stylish office space. It was a busy meeting, so I didn't get as many photos as I would have liked, but they had chic lighting in every room as you will see in these pictures. I just love a good light fixture! Don't you? </span></div>

Just received some of the pictures from the wedding I planned and styled a few weekends ago. I was so pleased with how these show the little details that went into this wedding to make it such a special evening for the bride and groom. One special detail in particular that you will notice - dogs! Both the bride and groom's dogs are important parts of their lives, and it wouldn't have been the same if their furry friends couldn't somehow be a part of the celebration. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a beautiful evening! Cheers to this wonderful couple!</span></div>Viverehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03504998072127026026noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5550240949855840450.post-75049933743350418002012-05-14T18:25:00.000-04:002012-08-30T08:58:06.335-04:00#100!!!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I launched this blog on July 4th, 2011, and here I sit, just shy of a year, writing my 100th post! I sort of feel as though I should be over 100 posts by now, but way more time than I ever expected goes into writing one of these things. No matter how many or few I create or however long it takes me, I love writing them, and even more, I have loved everyone's feedback, comments and support. I hope you enjoy perusing them as much as I enjoy writing them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">With that said, there are certain design concepts, colors, fabrics, images, etc... that inspire me. Though these inspirations are ever evolving, there are quite a few from these past 100 posts that still catch my eye. Maybe you will remember some of the photos below. Other images are places and items from my everyday life and travels and a mix of other pictures, all of which inspire my designs. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This weekend, we began building the fence for the yard we have planned. My Dad came into town, and he and the boyfriend managed to get all posts cemented into the ground on Saturday. I hung window treatments inside and did some cleaning. Progress! </span><br />

Just a couple more work days and hopefully we will have that neglected yard transformed into a beautiful space perfect for grilling and outdoor entertaining. Pretty excited about the inside of the house as well!</span></div>

Apologies for the week-long lapse in posts, but it's been super hectic preparing for our move and the wedding that I have been planning. Both are happening in the next two weeks! I even had to forgo an invitation to the Heritage last Friday because I was just too busy. I hate missing events like that, especially when the weather is perfect. The boyfriend went though and I'm certain he had enough fun and drinks for the both of us. Next year! I spent the weekend making window treatments for the new house and we began redoing an old dresser. Pictures of both to come once finished and installed. I owe you all quite a bit of pictures, but once in the new house, I will share all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I did take about an hour this weekend to peruse my May issue of Elle Decor. There was a feature on the fabric designer Lulu deKwiatkowski, who has a fabric line Lulu DK Fabrics if you aren't familiar. She has teamed up with Schumacher to create the line Lulu DK Child, and it is delightful! Some of these could be used anywhere, not just in a children's setting. All in all, it is wonderful collection of fabrics, and I would love an offer to do a children's room so I could use some of these. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Saturday I took the trolley down St. Charles, hopping off at First Street so I could walk through the Garden District to see the beautiful homes. Making my way to Magazine Street for some good interiors "research", I stumbled upon Perch. It is a beautiful little shop set up in an old home with whimsical touches in every room. If you are looking for a unique and fabulous chandelier, this is the place. They also have a wonderful collection of accessories. Everywhere I turned, there was some item I was trying to figure out if I bought it, how I could fit it into my carry-on bag. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Loved these note cards and writing pads! Alexa Pulitzer, out of New Orleans, designs them. She features different animals accessorized with something unexpected. Check out the gator with the crown! She also does cocktail napkins and cups with her designs on them (pictured above). I'm told her designs are also available at Bergdorf Goodman.</span></div>

I covered a lot of ground over a short period of time, so I'm going to split up the coverage in two posts. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It all began Friday when seven girls landed in The Big Easy from pretty much every part of the country for a dear friend's bachelorette weekend. We all met at The Ritz Carlton in the French Quarter, which is where we called home for the weekend. It was fabulous! Such a beautiful hotel with great views of the city and just two short blocks from Bourbon Street. Pictured below is one of our beautiful rooms. Don't you just love the huge windows?</span><br />

While being escorted to our private dining room, we passed the Rex Room (pictured below). We were all enamored with the opulent green of the room. Lots of special dinners in there!</span></div>

There are so many reasons to love it: the natural light, the glamour, the clean lines... I also think it is a really simple look and design to achieve, so I thought I would put together a little "Get The Look" post. Not because you should necessarily copy this exact arrangement, but because each piece in this space is so versatile that any of them would be great additions to a room in need of some refreshing. </span><br />

It's not a huge area, so I'm wanting to do a courtyard or garden with a tall privacy fence. Right now, it's just an open green space, so the options are endless. Below are some of the ideas I'm loving. It's a toss up on the style though. I've always loved the idea of a secret garden with lush manicured greenery everywhere, but the clean lines of an urban landscape are so cosmopolitan chic. </span><br />
