Christmastime in charleston

I've got a confession. I'm more than a little behind on Christmas prep and my house is an absolute wreck. For the last week or so, our half-decorated tree has stood in the family room corner looking forlorn, along with half a dozen storage bins filled with wreaths and garland waiting to be fluffed. December has gotten off to a busy start and there's been a number of work and social events, causing me to lose some of the steam I had when we first pulled everything down from the attic. Regardless, I'm determined to have our house decorated by the end of the day! The[...]

dressing the table: Tips for inspirational fall dining

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, we hope to inspire you to get creative and have fun with one of the smaller (yet often overlooked) elements of holiday preparations: dressing the table. I'll admit that there are many times when I feel too busy or tired to even think about creating pretty place settings. Weeknights, in particular, can be tough as we scramble to eat dinner in between after-school activities, homework and the nightly routine. However, on those occasions when I do put forth a little effort, I'm always pleasantly surprised by how much my da[...]

Fall floral arrangements for your thanksgiving celebrations

While you’re running through the grocery store for the third time the week before Thanksgiving (we will be, too!), you might have time to stop briefly at the flower counter and grab a few stems to spice up your home for the occasion. Whether it’s a beautiful centerpiece for your entry or buffet, or some thoughtfully placed votive-sized arrangements, it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to make a big impact. The arrangements we make in the video are fairly easy to compose, but still add elegance to any table or counter-top. Here are a few tips to keep in mind[...]

MY love For Block print

A few years back when my husband and I were in the beginning stages of designing our home, I must have spent hours pouring over interior design books and magazines, trying to pinpoint the exact style we were going for and identify commonalities in the rooms that stopped me in my tracks. I realized that the spaces I'm most drawn to often incorporate hand-blocked, Indian textiles and wallpapers. While I 'm definitely not an expert, I don't think you have to be one in order to appreciate the international flair that block print materials add to a space. The traditio[...]

A Must-have coffee table book for rattan lovers + WAYS TO BRING this timeless material into your home

Charleston, SC

Open any shelter magazine and you'll find bamboo, wicker and rattan furniture and accessories adding warmth and texture to homes of various styles and in locales ranging from mountains to beaches and everywhere in between. While rattan is certainly on trend, it’s also true that decorating with woven and natural materials has been en vogue for decades. My feelings about rattan as a mainstay in traditional decorating were reinforced by Lulu Lytle’s book Rattan A World of Elegance and Charm. I also came away feeling that I can confidently select “Rattan for $1,[...]
