New from the Schu…

January 16, 2012 by SummerHouse · 1 Comment

With Spring just around the corner, (well, sort of…) thoughts of going to the beach, taking trips, and spending time outdoors don’t seem quite so intangible! The nice weather in our area this weekend really gave some of us a case of Spring Fever!

To go along perfectly with the upcoming season change is this new collection of fabrics from Schumacher. The collection is named Cote d’Azur, which just sounds beautiful doesn’t it?! These indoor/outdoor fabrics were inspired by the sand and surf of the French Riviera. They definitely make us wish for a big yacht, some big sunglasses, and a nice Mediterranean cocktail… Ahhh….

Let’s take a look at a few of the collection’s highlights…

San Remo Fret, Jet

Monaco Velvet, Java

Antibes Chevron, Jet

Tortola Marine

Cap Ferrat Weave, Navy

Cannes Awning Stripe, Java

Remember, indoor/outdoor fabrics can easily be cleaned with soap and water! These fabrics would be perfect for families with lots of children (or messy adults!), beach homes, outdoor upholstered furniture… The possibilities are almost endless!

We could really get used to relaxing in a space like this...

View the entire Schumacher collection here. And if you have questions or would like a sample of anything you see, give us a call! We’ll get you fixed up!

Our friend Linda over at The Lennoxx, a FABULOUS interiors blog, gave our store a really nice shout out not too long ago! She featured some pictures of our shop and gave us some very kind words. Because of this post, we now have a new friend + client in the great state of California! So THANK YOU Linda!

Meet Chelsea Sirmons

Chelsea Sirmons

Meet Chelsea Sirmons (that’s Sirmons with an “r!”), our new Design Assistant! She just moved to Mississippi from Georgia and we have loved getting to know her! We asked her a few questions so you could get to know her a little better, too!

Laurel: You just moved here from Georgia, right? What made you move to good ‘ol Mississippi?

Chelsea: My husband, Brad, received a job offer and we made the move from Savannah, Georgia at the end of September.

Laurel: What interiors magazine or blog do you find the most inspirational?

Chelsea: I find inspiration almost anywhere! My favorite interiors magazine would definitely be Traditional Home, though.

Laurel: What are three items that you just absolutely cannot live without?

Chelsea: Coffee would probably be the only item… I absolutely cannot live without my family and friends!

Laurel: What’s your favorite movie?

Chelsea: Gone with the Wind… Love the story, the setting, the characters portrayed…

Laurel: Coffee, Traditional Home, Gone with the Wind… You’re our kind of girl! Anything else we should know about you?!

Chelsea: I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a degree in Interior Design. Fun fact… I have an identical twin sister who is also an interior designer!

Thanks Chelsea! And thanks for all the major help you’ve given everyone up here so far! Do yourself a favor and come meet this girl! (We have a new designer, so while you’re at it, come meet him too! You can read all about Todd in an older post!) In the words of Lisa Palmer, “This girl is the queen of organizing!” Chelsea, you’re just what SummerHouse needed!
