We were two of the brave few who attended the Highpoint Furniture Market this Fall. Because of this, we had many peers as well as industry fans watching our every move anxious for all the news about trends. In case you missed many of our social media postings, we wanted to bring you the trends right here on the podcast.
Read MoreKelly and I are big proponents of original art and know how it can elevate a space and create a truly unique and custom design. We recorded podcast (Episode #53) entitled “Why Buy Original Art” a couple of years ago. We talk about the importance of art in design as well as how we were originally intimidated by art galleries and how meeting our guest, Donna Krueger, turned out to be a wonderful experience and a whole new education into the world of art.

Read MoreFor those of you not in tune to what is happening in the interior design world, get ready. Everyone in our industry is busier than ever before and having trouble keeping up with the demand. Contractors can only take on so much work and it’s getting to the point that most people will have to wait until Spring to have a renovation done. It’s not surprising with the recent pandemic and people being in their homes more than ever. The chair that was uncomfortable is being replaced, the dated paint colors are being updated. The money they were going to use for a luxury vacation is being used for some long overdue home projects.

There’s a lot of information at our disposal with shelter magazines, Houzz, Pinterest, and Interior Design blogs but sometimes there might just be a little something nagging at you that you can’t seem to find an answer to.
Read MoreToday we are thrilled to bring a new guest to you. She is not only our friend and industry colleague but a woman we have learned a lot from over the years.

Now she’s also the host of the top-rated interior design podcast called A Well Designed Business, is a highly sought after speaker and an author of two top rated books on well-designed businesses.
With so many of us reinventing ourselves and our businesses during the Covid crisis, we thought that now was the perfect time for us to have a lively chat with Luann.
Read MoreToday our guest is one of our FAVORITE clients (seriously)! Rob and his wife first hired us in 2013.
