From the Mouths of Babes

After ten years of being a designer, I have acquired a lot of adoring nicknames for my clients but I have never received one... until now!  I find it quite ironic that I finally have shared a few of my favorites with you and then out of the blue, my 5 year old client, who I renamed "Monster Jam" had news for me.  I visited with Monster Jam and his mom last week and...

IDS seeking Mike Modano (and you) for Jonathan's Place!

As many of you know, I have held the title of President of the Dallas/ Fort Worth chapter of the Interior Design Society for almost four years now.  It is a privilege to network with other designers in the area as well as meet fantastic vendors within the community.  One of our main goals is to complete a charity project each year and we are ecstatic to announce that...

Lighting the Way for The Bachelor!

     I'm not sure if I was the gold crackle or the sparkly prisms that caught my eye, but this beauty sure did!      While shopping for light fixtures for my client, The Bachelor, I had to snap a photo of this gem (unfortunately, not for his dining room, but hopefully for future client!).  I love the art deco shape and the fact it...

Florida, Mexico... but we are stepping out of our norm and enjoying the beautiful mountains of New Mexico. Skiing over sun bathing is definitely okay with me this year and a new experience for our kids.  After the first day at Angel Fire (near Taos), we are...

The Wonders of Wallpaper

I know you have heard that wallpaper is out... but that is so not the case!  Don't get me wrong, I would not encourage you to wallpaper your entire kitchen and all the baths like we did in the 90's but... using it correctly will knock your guests socks off!  Try it in a powder bath or in strategic areas like below- you'll love it! Check out the impact of using wallpaper...

Giddy over Greenhouse!

Saturday morning at the Connells: Me:  Oh my gosh!  Ahhhh!Husband:  What's wrong? (yelling with concern)Me:  New fabric books have arrived!!!  It's Christmas again!Husband:  "Silence... birds chirping" I do not think Mike was as equally excited about the new shipment of sample books from Greenhouse Design. Upon a quick browse, I saw several swatches...
