So, as the holidays are once again quickly approaching, I thought it would be fun to invite some friends to create some new beautiful tablescapes this year and to offer their take on how to pull it all together.  This group of women are not only extremely talented and...

Her vision was that the entire back of the space would be an expanse of windows that looked out onto her gardens and beautiful fountain and that it would have access to her new patio.  She wanted a combo dining/entertaining space as well as a comfortable space to watch...

As spring approaches (please, hurry up!), many of us get the itch to do some spring cleaning and give a little refresh to our homes.  A client asked me to come give a talk to her book club on ideas for refreshing your home and so I thought since I put together my thoug...

I've rounded up a group of incredibly talented women who I've deemed as "makers" since they all have very different ways of sharing their creativity through the things they make.  They are all local to Raleigh and are all certainly worth checking out!...
