Christmas Decorating with Ava
Listen. I know everyone thinks their kids are cute. I know they're mostly just cute to us. But in the spirit of that (and the fact that I had zero desire to decorate the house for Christmas today & she got me into it), I'm going to record a few of our...
The In Between
You know, I’ve spent the last few months with this on my mind. That so much of life is love and loss. Strip away the work, the list, the busyness. So much of it is these. That so much of the time we spend is either loving or losing. That we are much of the time...
Stephanie’s Playroom- Wallpaper Installed!
Whew. Well the blog/site have been dooowwwnnn for about 3 weeks. Thanks for your patience there, guys. Since then, Stephanie's playroom is pretty much complete. I only have to hang a couple more pieces of art and shoot the space. Remember I said we had a little...
Stephanie’s Playroom Inspiration & Design Board
Now for the good stuff. I told you about Stephanie's girls' playroom we've been working on... The main objective was to refresh the look of the space and reorganize the girls' art/playing school supplies and give them a more grown up place to lounge. We've...
Design Project- Stephanie’s Playroom
I told you a while back we've been taking on design clients again, and when I tell you I love it...I love it. And I missed delving into these projects so much. That, writing, and photography are my favorite parts of what I do. I'll be sharing all the projects here...
The Market on Chapel Hill Displays
We had blast at this year's Market on Chapel Hill... After my decision to turn PI into a design studio, we brought way less. We stuck to my typical palette of wood/white focal pieces and mixed in some accents and smalls. Our backs mostly thanked us. ...
Fall
Because heirloom pumpkins might be one of my very favorite things on earth. Forget a bouquet of flowers. Give me pretty pumpkins. We're slowly recovering from The Market on Chapel Hill...all the display pics coming soon!
PI Studio Makeover
Oh my word. When I say running. I mean running lately. I've had these studio pics ready to share with you for some time now, but between all of the projects we're working on, there's not been much time to sit down and write. It's a hard transition for me and my...
Happenings at Factory South
It's been a hot minute since we talked about Factory South. We opened the store in April 2015 and this, if you remember, is what it looked like... We moved things around here and there, but overall it maintained the same feel and style. As time passed, we decided to...
Creamware Dessert Pots, Fishs Eddy Sprinkles, & Photo Shoots
We're currently buzzing around PI. Literally. I have 2-3 huge design projects going right now (yep I'll fill you in soon), and we're gearing up for The Market on Chapel Hill and the fall shopping season for the online store. My work in Opelika has been busy and...
Giverny is Here!!
Well you can get your own can of Giverny now, folks! I'm telling you, next to French Linen, this will be my new favorite. We begin planning our Market on Chapel Hill space today, and I have a feeling this color and French Enamel will be heavy hitters. In case you...
Small Farm Table Makeover | Chalk Paint White Wax Tutorial
Well, I've officially gotten back in the proverbial groove of painting. The store was open last week, as we were still putting the finishing touches on the space. I'll share some before and after pics with you soon, but I wanted to show you one of the projects I...
Photo Shoots & Sneak Peeks
Y'all. I know you do it too. I just put some decisions off and off and off. And when I bite the proverbial bullet, I wonder why it took me so long. Working in the more studio-like store this week has been incredible. Really. I'll show you how we've rearranged the...
Painting & Painting. And More Painting.
My mercy we have been painting. I'm pretty sure two separate days this week, at approximately 6 p.m., Julia has looked at me like a very tired puppy...not saying a word, but completely glazed over and exhausted. She's the best, by the way. Each time we've hit that...
New Shop Plans
A lot of you guys have been around since the beginning. Since I started the blog in 2009, and then opened the store in 2012... The shop changed and changed, and our space was mostly packed until the last few months. Having the store was always part of the plan for...
Keep Moving/Haven Conference
I spent last weekend in Atlanta surrounded by good friends, a little wine, and a whole lot of inspiration. Honestly. It's not just one of those cheesy things people say. Or maybe it is. But for me, last weekend, it was true. I was in town for Haven Conference, and...
Southern Living Inspired Home: Dining Room & Guest Room
It has been a whirlwind of a few weeks for me. I've gone to market for the online store, and we hosted an incredible event at The Southerly last week. We're also in high gear preparing for Haven at the end of the week. I'll share more details on these trips soon,...
Southern Living Inspired Home: Study & Master Suite
If you saw my previous post, you know I got to tour The Southern Living Inspired Home in Hampstead in Montgomery, Alabama. The study & master suite are up today... How about that bathroom? Those tiles....that shower. Let me know if you have any questions about...
Southern Living Inspired Home: Living, Kitchen & Laundry
Recently, I got the opportunity to tour Alabama's first Southern Living Inspired Home. I grew up with Southern Living magazines spread on our coffee table and in my mom's kitchen. Still to this day, I make Southern Living's homemade shortcakes with fresh...
4th of July Shoot
A few weeks ago when I was shooting like mad at The Southerly, we threw together a last minute look to feature a more simple gathering at the space. We just stumbled upon doing a patriotic theme, and it all started with that vintage table linen. After we scrounged...
