As summer comes to a close, we’ve been reflectin

As summer comes to a close, we’ve been reflecting on special moments it brought to us. Like this night time sky I was able to capture on the beach @hiltonhead_sc. Its beauty is a reminder of just how much we draw inspiration from. Nature, traveling, and seemingly insignificant moments bring so much magic and influence into our work and what we create for others.

The late summer/early fall season gets us thinking

The late summer/early fall season gets us thinking about entertaining. Hosting dinners and game nights with friends, having family in town, and gearing up for holiday festivities. If we like anything about the weather getting colder, it’s the gathering with people we love indoors that it brings. This is the look for a fun and refined bar we designed with @zakandfox wallpaper and @bedrosianstile black Cloe tile, inspired by the cool and exclusive aura of an NYC speakeasy.

Is your home back to school ready? We know the tale all too well…It’s a school day, and you’re feeling peaceful. Then you see that big yellow bus rolling up to your driveway. And within seconds, an unzipped backpack hits the floor, artwork flies through the air, and sparkles scatter on your freshly vacuumed carpet. You tried! But the good news is there are many easy things you can do to prepare for the 4 o'clock hurricane that comes through your front door.

Try placing a magazine rack or small blanket holder by the door - loose paper and artwork seems to find its way onto the rack nicely. Make the most of your mudroom cabinet or storage space vertically and horizontally by ensuring there is a place for everything - think hooks, bins and cubbies mixed in with your built-in or stand alone shelf. Distinguish ‘no school stuff’ zones where only ‘adult things’ like an umbrella bin, a plant or other décor goes with a small rug. This last one will help you feel like the space still has style, even though it may be surrounded with rainbow finger paintings and glue-y popsicle stick remnants. 🍎
