We’re showcasing a few of our favorite manufacturers that are eco-friend. Choosing manufactures that are members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council means that they incorporate eco-friendly practices. For example, the majority of Vanguard’s cushions include a mix of duck feathers and down, which are all natural by-products…plus more than 80% of their coils used are […]

We love how this kitchen was transformed using bright and uplifting color… a reflection of the family that lives in this home.
Research has proven that certain colors will elicit certain emotions. But…there are so many variables involved when specifying color.One of the first questions we always ask our clients is “How do you want to feel in your space?” We start by grouping colors as Cool versus Warm: Cool colors are purples, blues and green – We […]

Most people tend to gravitate to the areas of their homes that provide them with the most sunlight and the best views. Why? Because it’s been repeatedly proven that natural light is healing – stress levels decrease and mental […]
“Art is how we decorate space; music is how we decorate time”. Photo Sourced from Soundwall.com I saw this quote online and it really resonated with me. My kids are always amazed at how I can remember the year and exactly where I was whenever we hear a song from the 80’s or 90’s. One […]
