The Big Reveal

The Big Reveal

August 24, 2010 by · 1 Comment

Ok, it is officially time to announce our big news!

Since we are nearly 5 years old, which is 50 in design years, we have decided to get a little work done…  We have reached the point where we are in need of a face lift!  We are going to make a few little changes around the store that are going to make a big difference!  With that being said, we are going to have to “disappear” for a few days. 

We will close our doors late Wednesday night, September 1 after regular store hours and won’t re-open until the morning of Tuesday, September 7.  During that time we will be working hard on our update!  Our doors will be locked, but you will be welcome to come peek in the windows and check on our progress!  We will frequently post pictures on the blog to keep you updated!

To celebrate our new look, we will have our BIG REVEAL on Tuesday evening, September 14 from 5-7 p.m.  You, your friends and your family are all invited to join us as we celebrate our new look.  Bubbles and bites will be catered by our wonderful neighbor, Viking Cooking School, and we will have a couple of drawings that you won’t want to miss!

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, September 14 from 5-7 and be sure to bring friends!  Please feel free to come in before we take our little hiatus so you will be able to fully appreciate everything once we re-open!  We look forward to seeing you!

Our new Dwell bedding has finally arrived! We are so excited about it, we can hardly contain ourselves!  Check out a few of their many patterns here:  

This is the new peacock pattern we have been hearing so much about!

This great graphic also comes in black and white.

We have this duvet cover on the showroom floor for you to see for yourself!

This taupe trellis pattern is so handsome in person.

Betsy Pevey

 This week, designer Betsy Pevey shares a little bit about what has been catching her eye these days.  Her love for art, color and the great outdoors are truly inspiring.  Take a look…    

“A painting definitely makes a room.  I am always thrilled with artists Lauren Barksdale and Dyann Gunter.  Lauren’s beautiful birds and landscapes, and Dyann’s abstracts and nudes are so versatile.  I think art is SO important , in any space.”    

Abstract by Dyann Gunter

Landscape by Lauren Barksdale

  ”My favorite color right now is paprika.  It looks great with light hues, like golds and off whites, or darker hues like charcoals, taupes, and dark blues.  That color just has an energy that makes me happy!  I actually just finished up four custom pillows to bring that color into a neutral room.  We used a paprika linen with gold embroidery, and backed it in paprkia velvet. They turned out great.  A couple of my favorite fabrics with paprika are by Raoul and Galbraith and Paul” 

Galbraith and Paul. Birch Orange

Galbraith and Paul. Flower Power Fuschia

Jane Shelton. Vermicelli Square Red

Romo. Delaney Fuchsia Raoul. Ngozi Cayenne

“My favorite place at my own house right now is my patio.  Outdoor spaces are the ticket to relaxation… A place to unwind and enjoy with family and friends.  I love the multi-use of a garden seat.  They are great indoor and outdoor, and are an easy way to add a pop of color.  I am also loving the new outdoor introductions by LEE Industries.  They have some new outdoor fabrics that are beautiful and easy to clean.”

Behind the Scenes: VIP Photo Shoot

Behind the Scenes: VIP Photo Shoot

August 2, 2010 by · 1 Comment

We were recently asked by VIP Jackson for a room to photograph for an upcoming issue.  Since one of the teen rooms we recently did turned out SO well, we decided to use that one! Here is a little behind-the-scenes sneak peek of the shoot:   

Katie is showing off her flower arranging skills. Flowers always make a room photograph better!

Here is Laurel, preparing one of our props: A bowl of popcorn! We put cute Izze drinks out, too, so it looks like a party!

Allison working her magic!

The colors in the room turned out so pretty!

We absolutely loved how the window seat turned out. The button braid detail on the drapery is the best part!

CHEERS! That's a wrap!
