Summer Fun!
One of my favorite aspects of entertaining over the summer is creating a bright, happy tablescape to make friends and family feel welcomed and spoiled! Using the colors of summer as inspiration is one technique to set a table that embodies the spirit of the season and encourage guests to sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice cool cocktail. Here are a few ideas and products to help inspire you to design a beautiful table for your next summer party!
A New Orleans Vacation

Dream Closets
Ask anyone what kind of closet they’d have in their dream bedroom, and you’ll most likely hear, “A huge walk-in closet with plenty of storage and organization!” The details will vary from person to person, but a large closet with enough space to double as a dressing room seems to be nearly everyone’s ideal.

Designing Bedrooms for Tweens
Not that long ago, the word tween didn’t even exist. Defined as kids (usually girls, actually) aged roughly 9-12, tweens have one foot still in childhood and the other in the teen years.

Acrylic Furniture
If acrylic furniture makes you think of the 1970s or a late night flick on the Sci Fi channel, it’s time to think again! Incorporating acrylic pieces into your living spaces is a great way to add modern flair to your interiors. Acrylic pieces bring a lot to a room. They make the space appear [...]
The Right Glass for the Right Drink!
If you’ve ever shopped for glassware, you might have felt like you needed a mixology degree just to know which wine glasses to buy and what to fill them with. There are so many shapes and sizes as well as so many varieties of wine — how can you keep it all straight? Maybe a [...]
