<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When a local attorney recently needed to move from his home office to another space off-site, the interior design couldn't be anything less than, well, homey. The attorney and his wife, two friends of mine, called me about this challenge earlier this summer. Their new baby was due (and arrived!) in September but Dad's home-based attorney's office downtown had to move off-site to be up and running by mid-August. Luckily, my client had an office space near Wrightsville Beach already but he needed all of the furnishings to make the room not only functional but also feel more like it did at home. The room itself had loads of potential with built-in shelving and nice wood paneling but the stain on the wood had yellowed over time. We also wanted less of a hunting lodge look and more of a cool, clean vibe. Usually when you're visiting an attorney, it's not for the best of reasons so, overall, we wanted to be especially certain that all of the clients felt welcomed and at ease in this commercial office space. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A gorgeous desk and painting of the gardens nearby served as the perfect starting point for the office design. But the wood paneling gave the space a rustic feel and had to be refreshed.<b> </b>And, of course, we had to fill those shelves with some coastal-inspired accessories. The bare window needed a little interest and softening with custom treatments. We decided to match the existing paint color and keep our color palette inspired by the nearby beach with sandy beiges and soft blues and greens. A few wooden touches would tie in the existing wood finishes and keep the office from feeling too cutesy. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b> </b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We painted the paneling Benjamin Moore's Yarmouth Blue to match the wall that had already been painted. My client had tons of great artwork already so we didn't have to worry about finding any- just hanging it in its proper place. A comfortable desk chair was at the top of the list and we found the perfect combination of comfortable and corporate with this Staples desk chair. We also wanted a nicely curved settee with tufting and linen upholstery and this one was the perfect size, shape and color. But the fun part was bringing in the beach vibes- we mixed an antique distressed demilune table and brass sand fiddler figure with new seaglass colored bottles, a rustic wooden oar and hand painted sign to give the room all its personality. And since we wanted this attorney's office to feel particularly welcoming, we added ivory London shades with tonal taping, which softened the room and added extra interest. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Both my client and I were so pleased with the end result! Even though this is a corporate space, nothing about this office feels too stuffy or serious. It's a clean, comfortable room that my client can be productive in and his family members and clients can enjoy spending time in as well. Sometimes we all feel like we live at work- and there are times when we really might- so, when that's the case, I want to be sure the offices I have a hand in live up to that need, whether it's because a family is growing or a case must be argued. </span></span></div>

While she</span></span> works in a variety of mediums, including acrylic paint, watercolors, pastels and pencil, the pure happiness she feels when she's working can't help but translate onto the canvas and then into your home. Undoubtedly others agree with this sentiment as her abstract pieces recently hung in posh children's store <a href="http://www.progenyshoppe.com/" target="_blank">Progeny Shoppe</a> and sold within three hours...TWICE. They literally cannot keep her work on the shelves! </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Emily has now shared her artistic talents with some of the Carolinas' chicest and most stylish women (and children!).</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Emily has always dabbled in art but she accidentally got more serious about it after having her three children. With one child in kindergarten, one in preschool and now just one at home, Emily found that she needed a creative outlet during those very small windows of downtime. Emily began posting her doodles and drawings on <a href="https://instagram.com/eml.art/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and immediately received rave reviews. As her pieces quickly got snatched up, more requests began pouring in and the rest is social media history. Now instead of dabbling with paint and pencils for fun, Emily juggles commission requests from people around the Southeast, becoming a fixture in the Raleigh art community.</span></span></div>

Thank you so much to everyone for all of your wonderful support! This big change was a major leap of faith with a future that was by no means certain. I'm so grateful for the wonderful opportunities that have come my way since making this decision. I certainly could not have gotten to this point without your help so </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's been a great, interesting, challenging, fun and scary transition into the interior design realm from the film industry. So far, there have been enough similarities to give me confidence but also enough challenges to keep me humble. It's really easy to want to get too big too fast. Being grounded, honest and realistic isn't always the most fun or glamorous but it is essential in long-term planning. Anna Wintour recently spoke about success and her words of wisdom are sound advice... </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If this philosophy got Anna Wintour to the head of <i>Vogue</i>, then I think it can get me through another year! So what's next? While I'm sure that the future is never certain, I can say I know a few things. Coming up next week, I'll be revealing another space while several other projects are either underway or just getting started. There's also my new <a href="http://lsuggsinteriors.houzz.com/" target="_blank">website</a>, which I'll continue to update and strive to improve, and some outside opportunities to learn about the best products and services for each of you. The other thing we can all be sure of is we're going to have a good time along the way! </span></span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cheers to the first year and cheers to all of <i>you</i> who helped me get this far! Stay tuned for more projects, excitement and hopefully inspiration. Looking forward to the next anniversary...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It's hard to believe that summer 2015 has met its unofficial end. But I couldn't let the season <span style="font-size: small;">close</span> without one more adventure! The past few weeks have taken me from NYC to Texas, Louisiana and back home again. And it very nearly got me a short 25-hour road trip with a family of nine strangers and a school teacher! More about that later...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Adventure-cation began three weeks ago when I hopped a 5 a.m. flight to New York. While this first part of adventure-cation was actually work, it's the best kind of work. I had a ball visiting showrooms across New York City. The Javits Center, D & D Building, de Gournay and the garment district were just a few of my stops. Shopping online is a great way to acquire items you can't purchase locally (and thank goodness for samples!) but there's nothing like getting your hands on something in person and meeting with the most well-versed sales reps in the country to find the best products available. The hustle of the city may have ruffled my feathers a bit at first- <i>it's always unsettling when your cab driver tries to convince you that you're not in Times Square when the bright, blinking sign he's driven you past three times clearly says "Times Square"</i>- but after 24 hours, I started to feel the love and gain a ton of inspiration. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was even lucky enough to meet up with one of my dearest friends. Kelly and I had a great walk along the High Line to dinner at <a href="http://www.standardhotels.com/" target="_blank">The Standard Hotel</a>. Y'all, <i>everyone</i> needs as good a friend as Kelly. It's always such a treat to spend time with her. She has lived in New York for 10 years but is a Southern belle at heart. Her knowledge and hospitality became especially helpful when my flight to Houston got straight up cancelled with no hope of flying out for three days. With no hotel reservation, car, travel companions or real knowledge of New York, knowing Kelly was not only there but graciously willing to host me for an undetermined amount of time was all that kept me calm. As I waited in line for more than an hour to rebook my flight, a family of nine Texans, one school teacher and I made friends. The outlook to get a flight within 72 hours looked bleak at best so the nine relatives decided they would rent a 14 passenger van and drive 25 hours to Houston. Now, that might sound like the worst idea ever but standing alone in LaGuardia with no answers after six hours of waiting for a flight and little hope made that terrible plan seem very attractive! By the grace of God, a seat opened up on a flight the next day so to Kelly and her husband's apartment I happily fled. Hope my Texan stranger-friends got home okay! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In Louisiana, I stumbled upon several more delightful finds. The first was <a href="http://www.nadersgallery.com/" target="_blank">Nader's Gallery</a>, a glamorous little slice of modern, chic furnishings, home decor and artwork gleaming on the side of King's Highway. My beau, his mom and I had so much fun at Nader's, each of us finding more than a few things we would love to take home, that we went back a second time and were just as impressed. We also made several stops at King's Ransom, perusing antiques and reclaimed goods. A few of their goodies made the road trip back with us. Lastly, we met a local lighting designer whose unorthodox custom lamp designs were a fun new addition to my resource list. It's amazing what you can find when you go looking for nothing in particular! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After 14 days of whirlwind travel, my beau and I finally road tripped it home from adventure-cation. We had an easy 14 hour drive home and, as you can imagine, crashed when we walked in the front door. There's no rest for the weary though- several of my design projects are midway through, just getting started and in line to begin! Plus fashion Christmas is upon us- New York Fashion Week starts the 10th! Thank you, summer. You were good to us. But fall is my favorite time of year. Can't wait for those crisp fall days, High Point Market, my business's one-year anniversary (eek!) and hopefully a few football games! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am so, so, sooooooo excited to share this latest project with all of you!! As the title suggests, this design project was one</span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> that commanded style that had to transcend trends
and look just as good in 10 years as it does today...if not better.</span></span> But more than that, it was a labor of love undertaken not only by me but by a group of women (and occasionally the men in their lives!) who are very dear to me for a cause we have all worked hard for in the last few years. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you know me, then you know I've worked closely with the <a href="http://www.jlwnc.org/" target="_blank">Junior League of Wilmington</a> for seven years. Our League office is a humble space, as it should be, but it wasn't entirely functional. The president came to me this summer, while our membership was on summer break, and asked me if I would make the office a more functional meeting space and do so before our League year officially started at the end of August. She wanted a long table that could seat up to 20 people so that the board and League committees could actually meet at the office. Our office administrator also deserved more safety and security in the office as we had faced a few scary moments with wanderers in the last few months. And while we were in the process of making these updates, we decided we should go ahead and tone down the yellow walls. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The League's meeting room housed a<i> </i>table that was less than ideal for meetings. The butcher block table was high quality and in great shape but it was too wide and short- only eight people could sit at it at once so our gatherings resembled huddles more than proper board meetings. Our common room became an unused seating area. The settee and chairs were cute but they didn't coordinate with anything else in the space and, obviously, we had begun using the area for storage more than for seating. We also showcased lots of artwork generously donated by another local organization but it didn't really tell the story of our precious League, which was originally founded in the 1920s! <b> </b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>DESIGN SCHEME</b></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My main focus and the League's main concern was the meeting room...and the budget. We had very little to spend considering we needed enough furniture for two dining rooms, among other things. I wanted the entire office to feel familiar- like one of Wrightsville Beach's old family beach cottages. It needed to be inviting, light and classic while conveying to members and visitors alike the history of the Junior League. I chose Benjamin Moore's First Snowfall (ironic for a coastal inspired design scheme, right?) for the wall color, chairs and tables from Pier One and blackout drapes from Pottery Barn Kids to add height to this tiny room(on sale!). We also decided to repurpose the butcher block table and move it out to the common area, which meant donating all of the seating room furniture to another local non-profit. We did not budget any money for art and thank goodness we didn't! As the president and I cleaned out one of the League's storage rooms, we hit the JACKPOT!! The original sketch of the League's first cookbook cover, photos of the carriage house that used to serve as the League's office and countless plaques recognizing members and the organization for service were just a few of the treasures we found! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The office feels clean and bright and better than that- it's so functional now!!! Everything has its place and everyone can quickly see where that is. In fact, we held our first board meeting two weeks ago and were able to sit in the room with seating to spare! Our office administrator has been able to safely enter and exit the office without worry and she also has a space that is all her own. We even found Serena & Lily bistro chairs at a local consignment store for an amazing price. Talk about meant to be! We also have established proper storage for all of the boxes that used to sit in the common area. Now, we look forward to our visits to the office and I hope other visitors do too! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Personally, my favorite part of the whole office is seeing all of the photos and newspaper articles about events and members who came long before me. We learned about traditions we weren't aware of, saw photos of our friends' grandparents and felt so much more of a connection to this community. This office was entirely put together with sweat equity and I can't thank the volunteers who stepped up to the plate enough! Our small budget and big dreams brought us challenges at times- especially when the HVAC went out midway through!- but it also caused us to make thoughtful and smart decisions. Thank you so much to the League leaders for trusting me with this special project and I can't wait to see how this organization continues to evolve in the next few years!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Earlier this summer, a friend called me in need of some serious design help. She and her husband have two girls, ages 7 and 3, AND a baby on the way. With little brother due in October, the girls' rooms needed to be shuffled around by August so that her daughters could adjust to their new surroundings before school started. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Her younger daughter's room was to be the main focus, as the Little Sis was inheriting her older sister's old room as well as its furniture. (Big Sis moved to the FROG.) My sweet friend and her husband wanted their little one to feel like she was in an entirely new space that was all her own. And the only other request that came directly from my littlest client was that the room had to feel like the beach! Enter the Flamingo's Retreat... </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><b>BEFORE:</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Older sister's furniture was a combination of new pieces and hand-me-downs. Luckily, the pieces' styles matched but Big Sis had made her mark with a few special stickers on the bedside table and nightstand. My clients and I decided that the furniture was going to need a fresh coat of paint...and while we're at it, let's just make it turquoise! The room also showcased a few wall decals and special murals. They were sweet but the walls were going to require a fresh coat of paint to transport us to the Flamingo's beach. I also was tasked with finding new bedding, which needed to be completely machine washable; a new rug and updated blackout curtains. We also discussed a new furniture arrangement...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><b>THE DESIGN SCHEME:</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I gave the Little Flamingo's retreat some beachy vibes without getting too literal. The walls were painted Dolphin's Cove and furniture lacquered in Mexicali Turquoise. I chose several different patterns from Serena & Lily to create the bedding and tied all of these candy colors together with the most perfect and durable Dash & Albert rug. The icing on the cake was the vintage map of Wilmington I found on Etsy and the adorable pom pom curtains! We also created a little reading nook so that the Flamingo can check out her favorite books and do her best learning in the comfort of her own room. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Little Flamingo absolutely loves her new room and her parents are thrilled to see her so excited! I had no idea how much a three-year-old could understand design but this little one sure does! She and her stuffed animals love their cozy new bedding and she has made great use of the reading nook. I'm so thrilled I got to be involved with such a fun and special project. It's a room that invokes cheer and fun while speaking to the vivacious personality of the sweet Little Flamingo.<b> </b></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And as for Big Sis, she got a few new bits and pieces too. She had picked out lots of pillows and her bedding before I met with them but we were able to zhush up her room with a pair of new lamps, a gorgeous Matouk bed skirt and a great built in bench. I had the bench cushion sewn and piped with indoor/outdoor fabric to make sure it could withstand the sunlight through the windows. It will look new for years to come and be durable enough to withstand the wear and tear that comes with pre-teens. Then I created a pair of bolster pillows to tie in the various colors Big Sis had already settled on. Mom had the cool surfboard and it looks perfect in its new space. Now Big Sis has a comfortable and functional little space to create her artful masterpieces or do homework once school starts...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On Tuesday, you might have read <a href="http://focusonflair.blogspot.com/2015/07/modern-eclectic-mix-part-one.html" target="_blank">Part One of the Modern Eclectic Mix</a> featuring this home's den. Now it's time for the big living room reveal! As with the den, this project was not a full installation. This client want me to create some cohesion between the pieces in not only her living room but also her den and dining room. All three rooms were painted the same color, which helped, but the overall color palette needed some tweaking and the room needed a little lightening and brightening. Here is the living room before I got started...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We kept the rug and most of the furniture but again moved out the end tables and swapped the entryway table for a table that had been a tv stand in the den. We swapped out all of the artwork except for the giant fish, which helped me build a foundation for the color palette. This couple also loves the ocean and surfing and their interest along with the pattern in the rug made me think of waves and movement. I tried to bring in that overall theme with the new pieces we purchased. Here are the concepts I presented.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Just about everything in these boards is now in the living room! The only thing we scratched was the wall sconces. We decided to see how the room shaped up without them first and then see if we needed them. I'm so glad we did because I don't think anyone misses them now that the room is complete. We also did buy that gorgeous velvet ottoman, which was truly stunning in person, but we sent it back because it just never really found its home in the room. Now for the big reveal!!!</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As you can see, the color palette in this room is essentially an intensified version of the den's with more pattern mixing and playfulness. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The dark teal blues, natural linens and grays really pull the two rooms together.</span></span> We replaced the end tables (and record player!) with tall metal shelves, which provided more storage and display space. I used pieces my clients already owned to style the shelves and only had to buy one vase- the black and white geometric one- to complete the look! Changing out the mirror and entry table made a huuuuuuge difference! The lines of the mirror reiterated the pattern in the rug, pillows and artwork while placing the lamp near the mirror maximized the light in the room. I also brought in a new desk chair and mirror (over the fire place) with the some cool graphic touches to keep the room feeling fresh. To me, the room feels tailored with a little bit of funk and a lot of personality. If you've been reading this blog for a while, then you know I'm all about the mix so this project was one I loved!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Today's reveal is the first of a two-part series because, in this house, there is just too much goodness for one post! This particular project was a zhushing exercise and not a full makeover. In this case, the client already had her main furniture pieces- sofa, chairs, rugs, etc.- but she needed assistance creating a cohesive look. And to further complicate the matter, huge archways allow the den, living room and dining room to be completely open to one another. While the spaces didn't need to be the exact same, they did need to coincide. So we'll get a tour of the den today and then check back here on Thursday to read about the living room/see how it all goes together! You might just catch a glimpse below if you look closely...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's where we started with the den. This gray linen sectional is awesome- so comfortable and the perfect scale for the room. All of the rooms are painted the same paint color, which was great. The custom curtains, the leather and brass ottoman and hide rug were the additional sources of inspiration. </span></span></div>

<br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We discussed toning down the orange and green color palette as well as moving the black chinoiserie cabinet to the entryway. It was clearly not the right scale to house their television or to sit against that large wall. We also wanted to move out the barrel table as well as the existing end tables to make the room feel more open and lighter. And speaking of light, we needed more lamps! Here are the two concept boards I presented.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After our meeting, we went with everything in the first photo with the sectional and nothing in the second photo- ha! That's just the way things go sometimes but we ended up in a much better place, I think. We decided to buy a wider but lower tv stand with a more rustic appeal rather than shabby look, moved the chair out completely and scratched the art all together. The three of us, meaning me, my client and her husband, did not all agree on the art unfortunately but those vintage etchings were incredible. (I'm still contemplating buying one for myself...) Here's the reveal! </span></span></div>

It's so comfortable and livable but still very polished and interesting. It's a space to relax in, kick back and watch tv but it's also a room that provides great movement for entertaining and conversation. The best of both worlds!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's going to be a long, hot summer, people. Maybe the heat has gone straight to my brain but I am really loving warm, woodsy colors and textures these days. Playing them as accents among an otherwise light and neutral color palette is what keeps these tones tones fresh. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I recently worked on a project where we worked to warm up a cool toned space. I pulled natural textures like sisal, raffia and linen in and layered them with warm Southwestern-style accents. Here's a little peek at what we discussed. PS- the pair of lamps on the sofa table have a <a href="http://bit.ly/1BJd5UF" target="_blank">COWHIDE lamp shade</a>. What will they think of next...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Happy Heat Wave, readers! It's a scorcher down here in Southeastern NC. If you can't keep your toes dipped in the water, then you might as well hunker down in the a.c! Propping up on the couch is about all I've been up for as I've been a little under the weather since Saturday. And, unfortunately for me, the only bed I want to crawl into isn't mine! Last week, this cozy cottage guest bedroom got a quick face lift. Creating the space's playful personality was so much fun! Friends and clients ask me about the design process quite often so I thought I'd share the steps of this project here with you. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This sweet guest bedroom had the appearance of a mere afterthought. The homeowners admittedly hadn't paid it much attention, which isn't all together uncommon for guest bedrooms. A few of the furnishings had enough glimmer of personality to stay but the rest had to go. My clients' top priorities were replacing the headboard and bedding while adding a rug to warm up the space. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Second: The Design Scheme</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Client Cozy Cottage loves mixing patterns and coastal vibes. She also gave me a clear cut budget, which truly helps an interior designer do her best work. I had been anxious to use the <a href="http://quadrillefabrics.com/Editorials-Pages/Wildflowers-II-wallpaper-Cynthia-Brooks-Design.html" target="_blank">China Seas periwinkle wallpaper</a> you see below and based my color palette on that. Unfortunately, once the essentials were all in place, we had no room in the budget for wallpaper. Luckily, so many excellent patterns were already mixing in the room that we didn't need wallpaper! And adding mirrors on that wall opened up the entire room better so much better than patterned wallpaper would have! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After presenting a few options to the Cozy Cottagers, they selected their preferences and we forged ahead! In the concept art below, you'll notice that a jute rug is on the floor. The Cozy Cottagers swapped it for the patterned rug in an alternative concept and I loved their decision! We both love the navy and white rug so much. It's an <a href="http://www.landofnod.com/indoor-outdoor-rug-blue/f14290" target="_blank">indoor/outdoor floor covering from Land of Nod</a> and so soft that you'd never know it!

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We also discussed replacing the <strike>boob light</strike> ceiling fixture with a gorgeous chandelier. In the end, the distance between the bed and ceiling was too short to successfully hang a new chandy. But we did add the <a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Cheval-Dressing-Mirror-MI1215-SYL1485.html" target="_blank">full length mirror</a> to add depth to the far corner as well as the <a href="http://furbishstudio.com/collections/decor/products/hudson-stripe-bag" target="_blank">hamper</a> from Furbish so that guests know where to leave towels at the end of their weekend.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I forgot to get a shot from this angle in the bedroom but the swirled planter is on the desk! It is so cute in there and houseplants keep the oxygen recirculating, which is key in a small space. We did not hang the black and white art or add the two lamps as the outlet situation was awkward.

At the last minute, I found the citron tray table. It was not part of my original plan but suited the room perfectly! We all loved the punch it packed and its scale was ideal for the slanted ceiling wall. </span></div>

As for the design process, I hope you found this breakdown helpful. My own personal goal is to tailor the process to my clients' needs. In some upcoming posts, you'll see where we didn't redesign a full room but zhushed up what was already there. Stay tuned!

So many brands have started producing top notch melamine dinnerware and serving pieces, allowing endless possibilities for your next outdoor party. But don't forget that your indoor entertaining pieces can pull double duty. Take the indoors outside with items like this tablecloth, the placemats, napkins and flatware. Use what you have! But know that you can fill in the gaps with dinnerware that is not only beautiful but also practical.</span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There's a reason why velvet upholstery has made a major comeback lately. Generally speaking, velvet is quite durable, looks polished and feels cozy all the while offering undeniable glamor. While the thought may initially seem counter intuitive, anchoring your room with a green velvet sofa is actually one of the most classic decor styles around. You can let the green pop by decorating your room with rich neutrals or you can play up color by running with the rainbow. So in honor of St. Patrick's Day, here are my favorite uses of green sofas plus a few shopable options. Happy decorating with green!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">One of my best friends lives in Tennessee- about eight hours away from here. <span style="font-size: small;">(Sad!)</span> But she recently bought a new ottoman for its great size and good bones...although not so much for the fabric. With a new baby and inside pets, she- like many people- was hesitant to get too invested in fabric but she- like many people- wanted to enjoy her home! The ottoman fabric had to coordinate with her scrolly blue/grey rug and newly upholstered cozy couch. Her family also inherited two chairs that were going to need some updating, although the ottoman definitely took priority.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Some design projects come together so effortlessly and this happened to be one of them!</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Knowing this globetrotting, adventurous family, I knew this room had to be cool. I chose the Jiri stripe in birch for the ottoman and made that the room's statement piece. The woven, dark neutral chair fabric would contrast and still coordinate with the ivory couch all while hiding any messiness from pets and kids.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The rest of the upholstery would be perked up with patterns and color found in the three different throw pillows- the new color introduced being a seafoam green.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I created the e-design board, hit send and held my breath. Luckily, my friend flipped for it! Even her husband was immediately on board- that's how you really know a design concept is a success! Now the family is motivated to get this project going and make their living room family friendly and fresh. Hopefully I'll get to see this sweet space in person sometime. Anyone recommend the summertime in Tennessee?? </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am 100% a diamonds girl so you know that if my Best Dressed from the Oscars is an actress wearing a gown entirely made of pearls, it MUST be good! Presenter <b>Lupita Nyong'o</b> stole the show once again this year when she arrived last night in this custom <b>Calvin Klein Collection</b> column. Her look was head to toe perfection! The dress was made of 6000 pearls and every single one was in the exact right place. A huge round of applause to Francisco Costa and his CK team! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Unfortunately, there were very few other Red Carpet moments as striking as hers. I didn't feel that any other looks really knocked it out of the park although there were certainly some fabulous frocks on display. <b>Kerry Washington, Jennifer Aniston and Julianne Moore</b> got the beaded nude hues memo although each of their interpretations were very different. Washington brought a dose of the unexpected with a <b>Miu Miu</b> peplum paired with a straight, beaded skirt. Nominee Aniston got it right when it counted with her slit-up-to-there <b>Versace</b> number. The tailoring on her gown was perfection. And Moore, also a nominee, went all out glam in custom sequined <b>Chanel</b>. Had the second row of embellishments not played up the dress's drop waist, I would have chosen her for Best Dressed of the night. (I mean, hellooooo, it's Chanel!) </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In the shadow of today's cool celadon greens, neutral "greiges" and stark white walls hides the warm, welcoming shades of your spice rack. They are unassuming and under appreciated and yet provide those in your household the biggest hug and most hospitality. Call them coral, paprika, brick or terra cotta, they work in a variety of situations and seasons. In the summer, they feel fresh and vibrant. In the winter, they instantly heat up your tabletop or windows. And as far as your own clothing goes, earrings with a coral burst give you an instant glow or a clutch in a burnt orange livens up the dullest day. But spice can be strong so a little goes a long way. Keep your spices in check by toning it down with pale blushes, sandy creams or, yes, even pool blues...bordering on celadon.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last night's Red Carpet finally presented us with some achievable creativity and color to beat the band! If the Globes were all about metallic hues, then the SAG Awards flipped the script and brought a rainbow of pizzazz and even pattern.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">"Game of Thrones" actress <b>Natalie Dormer</b> wins my Best Dressed of the night in her beautifully painted <b>Naeem Khan </b>gown. I'm such a sucker for a painterly print but everything about this dress was right on her. Those gorgeous purples, corals and pale pinks looked lovely with her complexion and hair. I couldn't tell if this gown was actually white or pale gray but regardless, her look was sweet and demure and a nice change in pace from gowns we've seen of late.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In a close second to Dormer's painted print comes "The Theory of Everything" star <b>Felicity Jones in her sugary sweet pink Balenciaga</b>. If you haven't seen her film yet, you will fall in love with her after you see her performance. She delivered in her role as Jane Hawking and she also delivered us some high fashion last night. Selecting Best Dressed was a tough decision because she is such perfection. Keeping with the sweet vibe were <b>Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani</b> and <b>Kiera Knightley in Erdem</b>. Witherspoon's figure looked amazing in her asymmetrical white gown. I love that it had a bit of a cap sleeve. Knightly redeemed herself from the Chanel catastrophe at the Globes with this gorgeous tiered eyelet gown. Loved everything about her look last night! </span></span></div>

<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We also saw a lot of contrasting bodice gowns where the tops of the dresses had some sort of embellishment and fabric differentiation from the skirt. <b>Sarah Hyland</b> rocked the look in <b>Vera Wang</b> with gorgeous stones sewn in to the top of her daring plunged top. She always looks so fresh and like she is having so much fun. <b>Natasha Lyonne</b> did it with metallic embroidery and a heavy black skirt in this <b>Proenza Schouler</b> number. If she didn't have so much attitude, I might not like this dress as much...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally, we saw more pattern and even a respectable risk on the Red Carpet. I love <b>Rashida Jones's Emanuel Ungaro</b> dress with the contrasting blue piping. I actually feel like this dress is something people would throw on here to go to the beach. Maybe it was a little casual for a Red Carpet event but I still thought she looked fabulous in it. "Orange is the New Black" star and SAG Award winner <b>Uzo Aduba </b>looked AMAZING in her <b>Angel Sanchez</b> gown. The color and the fabric are so interesting. With her very simple hair and makeup, it was the perfect amount of complexity. Loved this risk!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If you're lucky enough to have space in your house for a playroom, then you know this type of room can be both a blessing and a curse. Having one room to contain all of your kids' stuff is awesome. It's usually the one and only anything-goes place in a house where children can let their imaginations run wild. But the playroom can still really stress parents out- it's almost always a mess, it's cluttered and we all know who really cleans up six days out of seven. Yet the endless possibilities and the creativity that this space is supposed to envelope made me and my client really excited and inspired. What a fun project to take on as one of my first outside of the film industry! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here is a look at what the clients already had in the room. It was long and skinny, <i>very </i>orange, had huge windows and got tons of hot afternoon sunlight...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The homeowners have three super cool kids under the age of six- two boys and one girl. They wanted a room that was all about the children but was still a space the whole family could enjoy. It is</span></span> right off the kitchen on the house's main floor so it had to flow with the rest of the home. Storage was important as well as having a huge couch to build forts on, flip over and eventually collapse on to watch a movie. My client was considering a chalkboard wall but wasn't really sure how to combine all of these wish list items to create one cohesive space. So we got together and came up with a design scheme... </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As you will see, we pretty much started from scratch in this room. The carpet was removed and hardwood floors installed. I really loved the valances that were already up but unfortunately the color scheme wasn't quite right for this space. However we did leave their green couch, which I could have had reupholstered, but since the youngest child is still only two, I felt like recovering the couch/getting a new one in a few years was a better use of their budget. The biggest and most exciting change was the addition of the chalkboard wall. As you will see, the kids can not only write on it but since the chalkboard is also magnetic, they can also display their artwork on the wall and easily switch out as they create new pieces! We also had the television installed in the center of the chalkboard wall so that the black tv wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb anywhere else in the room. The results are nothing short of fun AND functional! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We are all so thrilled with the results in here! The kids are <i>loooooooving </i>the chalkboard wall but I am not ashamed to admit that I learned the hard way about magnetic paint fumes. In fact, the metallic smell from the magnetic paint was so intense, the family almost had to spend the night away from the house. It was horrible; however, the results were amazing and I'm so glad they didn't give up. We also had a goal of setting up a dressing room somewhere in the playroom but we have yet to find the perfect size and shaped drapery rod. Finally, we purchased the ceiling fixture from Ikea you see in the concept artwork but the room gets so hot in the summertime that the family couldn't part with the fan. All of those bumps in the road aside, the children have a fun place to play and store all of their toys. Their mom can be one room over cooking while all three kids are entertained on the other side of the wall. I am so glad we opted to use poufs covered in indoor/outdoor fabric at the play table instead of wooden chairs because the kids use them not only as seats but also as bumper cars and building blocks. The tall bookshelves give them tons of storage and the collapsible green fabric bins corral the teeniest toys. On a personal note, I love seeing the colorful pendants hanging on the chalkboard wall. They make the wall feel like a big celebration of kid art! And no playroom is complete without a little Dr. Seuss reference- we just HAD to have the <i>Oh, The Places You'll Go</i> decal!! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The best part of the transformation has been that the entire family of five has been using the room to cuddle up and watch movies or get together and play. Turns out that playrooms can be just as fun for parents as for their kids!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was enjoying my seasons, as I like to call it, when after Christmas what should appear on my Instagram feed but tons of people on tropical vacations. Ommm...what are you people trying to do to me?! It's cruel to boast your sunny vacations to those stuck in chilly places. You may reply that I live at the beach, which isn't a lie, but it certainly isn't warm enough to enjoy it right now. In defense, today I share with you a spring-ish fashion post. In actuality, this look could easily be worn right now with the addition of a blazer and swapping the sandals for boots...if you're not off on a tropical vacation, that is...</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">When an awards show is named for a precious metal, why would we expect anything besides metallic gowns to rule the Red Carpet?? Metals certainly made their statement last night at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards but there wasn't one metallic shade in particular that we saw on repeat. Gunmetal, silver, champagne and even bronze stole the show. Hollywood's sirens looked gorgeous, as always, but I have to give my best dressed of the night to <b>Julianne Moore </b>in her ombre<b> Givenchy</b>. STUNNING! What a major movie star moment. <b>Dakota Johnson</b> came dangerously close to stealing Moore's look but her <b>Chanel</b> gown traded the feathered skirt for a center slit. Crisis averted.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">My two favorite redheads served us some serious style.

The giant bow gave the edgy look a playful nod. <b>Jessica Chastain</b> was simply sexy in her bronze <b>Versace</b> dress. I would almost dare to say her dress looks comfortable if it weren't for the knotted plunge.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A new year is right around the corner but I'd like to take a moment to reflect on 2014...and what a year it has been! There were LOTS of changes for me professionally and my new career choice has been a huge adjustment. I am really excited to see what 2015 brings and maybe find out if I'm crazy or not. No, wait, I already know I AM crazy. My house all but fell apart with repairs for a leak and the need for a new HVAC unit slamming all at once while my mom struggled physically the first half of the year with a herniated disc in her back. Thank goodness for her amazing surgeons! Luckily my beau has stayed busy and happy while my dad retired and stayed busy and happy! My sister road the same roller coaster ride professionally as I did and I'm so glad she and I could support one another during these times of transition and decision...that's why we have Sir Paul. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">With all of those things in mind, blogging played second- and sometimes even third- fiddle this year with fewer posts from me but I hope you found the quality better even if I posted less often. I'm pleased to see that two of the top five most viewed posts of the year were design and decorating posts- one from before I started my business and one from after. You, dear readers, love a Red Carpet, as do I, and springtime wardrobe options make us all happy or puzzled...not sure which. Here are the top five </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">posts</span></span> (actually six because two posts tied!) of 2014!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Every girl needs a good red lipstick. It's sort of a rite of passage into full-fledged womanhood. As a redhead, I have long struggled with this hunt. Nothing was ever quite right...until recently. This time of year begs for a fun red lip so just in time for the last round of holiday parties, I must present to you the result of the search for perfect red lipstick. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Elle </i>recently published an article about several types of make-up that were perfect for every skin tone. They suggested <a href="http://bit.ly/13nm5hQ" target="_blank">NARS Audacious Lipstick in Lana</a> as the perfect red for everybody. Considering I have been on the hunt for this shade for years, I ran to my closest Sephora to test it for myself... and helloooooooo orange pout. With just two swipes of this lipstick, my pucker was a bright shade of nectarine- not exactly what I was going for. Luckily, Sephora had other great NARS lipstick options. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">One shade cooler than Lana is <a href="http://bit.ly/13nm5hQ" target="_blank">Annabella</a>. Eureka! The lipstick is perfection. As a red, it's not too aggressive or overpowering. It just provides a really striking pop of color, much more so than I'm used to wearing, without a crazy red-lips-in-yo-face effect. I can easily wear this lipstick during the day with just a little blush and mascara and think it will be really pretty in the evening with a hint of gold or bronze eye. </span></span></div>

If you've been struggling to find the right red lipstick, give this one a try. The best part about Sephora is that if you don't like something, you can send it back. Do not commit to anything until you've given it a test drive.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What do you do when a client's kitchen needs a few updates to make it as modern as its neighboring rooms but any changes are probably a few years off? You've got to get creative...really creative.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The current conundrum: Upfitting an older kitchen that won't be updated any time soon to make it as cool as its dining room/sun room counterparts. Kitchens host so many surfaces and materials that are almost always hard and solid. Creating a beautiful, modern kitchen from scratch has quite a different set of challenges than making an outdated place look au courant. This kitchen I'm working on now boasts fun black and white tile flooring, butcher block and white porcelain tile countertops with a few blue and white tile accents. If that wasn't enough of a mix, we've got to tie in the pale pink that the dining room wall shares with the kitchen and eliminate the dark navy accents that actually do make some sense. What was I thinking??</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">My plan: Go with this eclectic mix and ram into it full force. We're going to up the amperage on the blue and white without paint and with <a href="http://bit.ly/1wUw4Zo" target="_blank">ginger jars</a>. They are unexpected in this space yet fully functional as countertop storage and will look just as good against the pale pink walls as they will with the backsplash's blue and white tiles. I'm also going to play with the black and white tile reference by adding some kitschy <a href="http://bit.ly/1ApxZTs" target="_blank">black floral throw pillows</a> to the rattan bar stools. They will help make the space feel homey and luckily have a bit of blue and pink in them! Lastly, a few collectibles like china and artwork will be on display. I particularly am drawn to the <a href="http://bit.ly/1A073eh" target="_blank">Tobacco Leaf pattern</a> because it does display so many fun and bright colors. It will seal the deal with every single color in the kitchen.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In the end, I think the result will be a really fun and personal space. It will be well collected, cozy and unlike most of the kitchen pins you'll see on Pinterest! In this day and age of unrealistic expectations, I think this space will challenge the notions of perfection and celebrate the charms of imperfection...with good taste, of course. Stay tuned (and cross your fingers for me)! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">New York City is always magical this time of year. This December, the vibe was even more exciting with a quick visit from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. You've probably all seen how Kate and William stayed at the Carlyle Hotel, met Beyonce and Jay-Z and got a one-arm hug from Lebron James. But what most excited this fashion lover most was seeing the princess come face to face with J.Crew Creative Director Jenna Lyons and what JENNA was wearing! </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">After this photo surfaced, it was time to do some immediate investigating. Could her that effortless yet fully sequined top possibly be from J.Crew?! Turns out the top is part of J.Crew's high end Collection line. It's styled beautifully on the site- once with <a href="http://bit.ly/1AjV7lH" target="_blank">this red coat</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/1vU8MAJ" target="_blank">turtleneck</a> and with <a href="http://bit.ly/1slkC1K" target="_blank">white tuxedo pants</a> in another image.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Unfortunately, many pieces in the Collection line have very few sizes left.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Are you ready for a little holiday decor chat? Or are you up to your eyeballs in it and ready to think about something else?? I'll make this brief just in case you're the latter! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">A friend of mine recently told me she was having the hardest time finding Christmas stockings she really liked. Her sweet family is just beginning to grow as she is married with an adorable baby boy who recently turned one. Like many girls who are trying to plan for their family, she was looking for a beautiful stocking with a little bit of charm and a lot of longevity. It had to be the piece they would pull out </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">at Christmas </span></span>year after year, they would fill with Santa's tiny surprises and cheerfully sift through together on Christmas morning. When she just couldn't find anything that fit that bill, I offered to help get one made and imagine my delight when she agreed! We had a little inspiration, she gave me a color scheme and we came up with a design...</span></span></div>

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to make people happy and help make things that will last. </span></span></div>
