Visual Story-telling Through Art & Interiors

(If you've already read this post, scroll down to the bottom for the updated images!) One of the things that make my design process unique is the way I use art. Many people think of art as an afterthought, or just an accessory. When I can, I try to use it as inspiration to build a room from. That is exactly what I did when designing my kitchen. About 12 years ago, I purchased my first pieces of art, which included these two great vintage magazine covers. I love their personality, history, and humor. My goal was to evoke that *feeling* in our kitchen. I also used a literal translation, by mimicking the colors in the art.

My Visit to Magnolia Market - Silos

I've been busy--it's been difficult to make time for blogging! However, my visit to Magnolia Market I feel, is *blog-worthy*. 😆 So I'm making time to write at 10:00pm . Right off, let me answer the top two questions everyone's been asking. Then, I'll expand into the nitty gritty of my visit. 1. Did I meet Chip & JoAnna Gaines?

It was still great, but I think there's reasons to wait. If you are planning a trip in the near future regardless of my "wait" comment--I recommend you go in October 6-8th when they are having ...

Vintage Rugs - Guest Blogger - Sam Moradzadeh

The Versatility of Vintage Rugs Vintage can be a vague term often referring to an elusive time in the past. When it comes to rugs, vintage has a distinct meaning. Rugs produced between the 1920s - 1970s are classified as vintage. This time period in the arts was an explosion of style, color, and experimentation. The results were an eclectic mix of beauty, sophistication, and playfulness which reflected the influence of major art movements throughout the world including modernism, minimalism, and surrealism. Rugs and textiles were a part of this shift in artistry and, in turn, a broad range of styles is conveyed by vintage rugs. Their versatility in interior design is outstanding. From sleek, subtle designs to complex patterns and bright colors, the expanse of vintage rugs complements many home and office styles. Whether your space is minimalist modern or boldly traditional, there is a vintage rug that would be a great fit. Let’s ...
