Do you need a good night's rest?


Here's another find from the Atlanta Market-




If you are wanting a good night's rest and like these pics below, 
then you and I have a ton in common!

It's difficult to find transitional bedding that is semi- custom-
most lines are a bit too traditional for my taste
(and client's too:)



But this is a keeper!

You'll find it (and more great looks) at www.legacylinens.com,
including sheets, duvets, window treatments and headboards.

Here are my favorite parts of each set:

Love the splash of the small geometric print on the duvet
and repeated on pillow and panels


The decorative tape on the euro shams says it all!


Check out this color scheme... beach house or guest room?


Greek key tape... can't go wrong with it


Do I need to say more about my favorite color combo?
Blue/Red with a splash of Yellow


Like the chairs from a previous post, many monogramming
opportunities to personalize your bedding and towels!


Simple with a pop of color-


The grey hexagon fabric... speechless


For me.....


I love the graphic look of the chocolate brown with the white contrast


And after a good night's sleep within your 
Legacy Linens
just remember this as you rise and shine...


...a surprise from the showroom of Sugarboo Designs

Call me if you are ready to start your master bedroom project...
we've got a headstart:)


Until next time,

Atlanta Market: Home and Arteriors Home


I'm still in Hot Lanta for Market, but woke up early to share
with you some of my trip highlights so far-


As a new member of the National Board of the Interior Design Society,
I have had the privilege of spear heading the first Regional
Conference of IDS- and I was so pleased it was in my hometown!

My goal as an interior designer is to continue to learn about this ever changing
field and share the knowledge with my clients... so get ready!

Here are some of the speakers I heard this weekend:









and many more!

On the airplane, I was pleased to meet the founder of an 
accessory line that I have been using through the years...




Arteriors Home is based in Dallas and we chatted about "lead times" which
made be happy since he told me what I wanted to hear!

Check out some of their great items:




Specializing in unique fixtures and lamps-




Accent furniture- of course I spot the nail head piece-


Custom lamp line:
Create your own!




and a vast array of accessories!
If you have ever been to a major Market or the 
DallasWorld Trade Center with me, one can easily be overwhelmed 
with the amount of product... especially accessories.

Remember my 3 Rules for Accessories:

1: Bigger is better and less of it
2: Work the color
3: Then edit, edit, edit!

Think about making a statement ... but not a lot of statements!

More to come- off to Starbuck's and back to Market for 
area rug shopping!

Happy Monday!

My new Little Black Dress



Monday am...

-woke up late (a rarity for me)
-drank lots of Starbucks (normal)
-stumbled into my organized closet (wait...no)

All true until I got to the organized part...

But I found hope when I spotted this today-



Leave it to The Container Store to come up with yet 
another use for our favorite
Little Black Dress!

Now, I do have a few, but none that works it like this!

A place for necklaces, bracelets and earrings which hangs on a hook
or curtain rod. 39 clear pockets on one side and 24 loops on the other .

They don't call it the Happy Organized Home Sale for nothing!

I'm going-

Monogrammed Chairs: I'll take a Pair



I've always love personalizing a space with initials...
and I just did it for a client project...
(it is a surprise, so I'll show you after the reveal!)

How about a surprise for you?!!

I was sourcing chairs for a client presentation and stumbled upon
a feature of the line, Designmaster, which is custom monogramming... 
that we all can afford!

Do not stop with the bed sheets!

Look at these fabulous options...



I really dig the letters but Style #8 makes my hear flutter-
so classic...


The contrast cording really sets these chairs apart as well.

Below is the selection of thread colors and I didn't even include them all-

  







Here are some tips from the folks at Designmaster...
located in Hickory, North Carolina:)

Custom embroidery designs applied to the inside back of our dining chairs
 are positioned on the chair to be seen a few inches above the table top. If the chair 
back is taller, the embroidery design will be further down from the top of the chair back.
 If the chair is shorter, the design will be closer to the top of the chair back.
The monogram embroidery designs are slightly larger than the monogram
designs. However, the design placement is done in the same fashion.

Custom embroidery applied to the outside backs of our chairs, in most cases, will be placed on the upper portion of the chair back at a height level similar to the front. Sometimes, the embroidery design will look more appealing if it is centered on the back of the chair.

If you are going to spend $$$ on this over the top ceiling,
monogramming the theater chairs is a must
traditional media room by Interior Designer -Mark Cravotta

A winner from Horchow-




Now who says you have to sew.  If you have a steady hand, paint it!


And I have to close out with this sweet little chair donned with the 
perfect name in the perfect color!

Kitchen or dining room?  Call me when you are ready!

Happy 4th and Happy Hughes: Client Before and After

Happy 4th of July!

We're water logged after a busy weekend at the lake,
but thought I'd share one of my latest projects in the color
scheme of red, white and blue!


It all started with this fabric integrated into a really traditional room! Yes, yes, yes!

A great Before and After at a classy North Dallas home-

Before:


After!


My clients, Hughes Who?, were finished with the oversized Waverly patterned
sectional... it did serve them well!  The challenge was to furnish the room
around the colorful area rug.

Mission Accomplished!


Dishing the details!

Bench seating before:

Bench seating after:


Functional Roman Shade before:


After:


Bonus: Faux roman shades too in a beautiful Robert Allen classic





If you missed my newsletter last week, you missed me on 
my soap box preaching about recliners! 

 The chairs in this room are custom made from 
Motioncraft and covered in a COM by Kasmir.

They are both recliners!!!


My go to solution for comfort and space challenges:)...

Let me know if you want me to send you the F.R.E.E. Ezine
with a wide variety of recliners just for you.

Ending the post with a ***BANG***,
here are a patriotic spaces that really shines-
