When the Weather Forecast is Stay INSIDE.

 

It was this past weekend when the snow and rainstorms across the country closed down travel and many were encouraged to STAY INSIDE.  What to do? A few things – relaxing, catching up on old movies, binge watching, getting comfortable with your dogs and a good book, catching up on  laundry, comfort food and a hot toddy -there is that silver lining.

I have found that many of my new clients call me on those bad weather days best spent at home.  It is as if  Mother Nature has a method to her madness and by force of strong winds and rain encourages one to  look around the walls and spaces of where one lives and think about what our home really has to offer.

How we individually respond to our environment impacts how we feel and it makes a difference. Past the color coordination, flow, how much we do or do not spend, how trendy, traditional, simple or sophisticated, it is our emotional response to spending time inside our homes and who and how we share that with others that matters most.

In Jeffery Alan Marks Book – “In the Meaning of Home” – the designer proposes the question:

“What does home mean to you? and encourages us to express it.  The skies have cleared now- it’s a good time to get out, plan a little and adapt your interior spaces for the next time.

a pleasant surprise

the winter seems to have been a late bloomer ~ awaiting the first day of the year to appear.  after days of unexpected humidity, wearing summer clothes instead of holiday apparel, the air has transformed.

the new year is also a transforming time with resolutions, rekindled good habits and will power.

the rolodex of days will turn into evenings – who knows where inspiration will come from in 2016 -possibly through the unexpected pleasures to come.

Cheers & Best Wishes to finding your inspiration in this new year!

An intern, a budget and the art of finding inspired pieces.

Interior Decorators have often been inspired by Old  Hollywood movies and their set design.  Both Hutton Wilkinson, http://www.huttonwilkinson.com and Miles Redd,http://www.milesredd.com, in recent lectures @ the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (ADAC),  http://www.adacatlanta.com referenced the significant influnence the movies had on their inspiration and careers.

In comparison of today’s movie sets the inspiration and love for set design with out a doubt comes from the home interiors of Nancy Meyers movies.  Diane Keaton’s home in Somethings Gotta `Give- The kitchen in Meryl Streep’s, It’s Complicated and now in Anne Hathaway’s Office and Brownstone in the Intern –http://www.mydomaine.com/theintern-set-design

So with Art of the Find’s recent review of the Intern’s set design we thought we would give our Intern, Morgan Holloway, the chance to take over the blog keys to give us a feel for what she was inspired by in a recent shopping trip.

Decorating Golden Rule: “Live with What You Love”

Name:  Morgan Holloway

Job Title:  Intern

Assignment:  to go shopping for home décor

First stop:  Suz-Annz Down Under http://www.suzannz.com.  Not exactly a place to shop on my college student’s budget – yet time well spent to view beautiful furnishings, accessories and decor.  The store itself was attractive and it didn’t take long for me to find my favorite piece; a beautiful wooden foyer table. I really appreciate work like this because my grandfather is a craftsman. He built his and my grandmothers barn style home and my treehouse tucked away on 19 acres of heaven in the Great Smoky Mountains.

After Suz-Annz I switched gears and went for more thrifty shopping. I went to The Other Side Vintage http://www.theothersidevintage.com. A not so small shop located in the heart of Tallahassee’s art district, Railroad Square. I found a sweet but sad rocking chair. I would have taken it home with me if only I  had a truck. It would fit perfectly in my little reading corner of my room.

Last stop of the day was another budget conscious shop called Good Finds http://www.goodfindstallahassee.com If you’re looking for WWII memor abilia or Pyrex this is the place to go, but if you can stick it out and keep searching you can find some special things. I found a vintage typewriter that I think would add character to any room. If it was a working typewriter I would have gotten it and used it for my guests to “sign in” whenever they visited me.

Where we love is home-

Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts – Oliver Wendall Holmes, Sr.

The weekend weather forecast is beautiful, cool with the sun shining, a great time to head to our home near the coast.  Typically the default topic of conversation – the weather – has been offering the gamut of possibilities. It has me thinking.  Those cold, rainy days and evenings conjures the need to be home.  Our family up north enduring snowstorms haven’t had much choice but to cocoon.  With the weather offering a roulette of rain, cold and snow, for some, the importance for the comforts of inside and to LOVE our home are more important than ever.

Unfortunately my clients are in the transition of loving their homes and wanting to recreate their living space to obtain that feeling.  In order to create that atmosphere I need to tap into the fundamental requirements of my client and the function of the space.  Infusing inspiration and the tried and true elements of Interior Decoration.  Each client and each project creates a need and my search begins.  From furniture to accessories, paintings to fabrics and all of the in between.   Selection matters and ultimately must pass the test of Love.  Much more than just shopping, there is an art to the finding.

It always surprises me when a client doubts their affections.  Worried what their best friend, mother, sister, daughter, neighbor, etc. will think.  Some clients allow an almost adhoc committee to surround them and lend voice to what is beautiful, in style or goes well, or fits.  Input from those we live with can be helpful and guiding but, and here it comes – be very careful that your home doesn’t become an extension of the likes and loves of everyone but you.

 

 

 

Maybe it is because it is easy to get overwhelmed, there are so many choices out there to look at and consider.

Or maybe because it is so easy to get discouraged, new furnishings and many items of quality are a financial commitment.

Whatever the insecurity cause, be sure to stick to a core concept.  Identify the feeling you want from your home and make selection from what you love and what you want to spend.  Even if because of time or money you can’t implement every aspect of a plan, still have one and understand it and work on visualizing it.  A consultation with a decorator, even if just for a few hours to establish a plan, can be very valuable. Redecorating by committee can be risky, especially if they are isolated comments, likes and dislikes discouraging you from moving forward with recreating a space resulting in what will make you happy.

 

 

 

 

Remember:  You won’t find a statue dedicated to a committee and the planning and interior decorating of your home won’t benefit from it either.

HOME – [hohm] n. – place of residence or refuge:

From Julie and Julia

“Instant gratification is not soon enough.” ~Meryl Streep

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pItuv-BWG8 (watch the real and wonderful iconic Julia Chiles, The French Chef – Cooking your Goose.

The past few weeks, I have spent several hours a day in various furniture, fabric, reupholstery and paint shops.  Much like my own shop/studio they are busy and piled high with client notes, work orders, fabric swatches, flooring samples and paint chips.

There is a Grand Central Station type of feel.

Each year this hectic hurry happens and it is no wonder.  Instantly as the porch light is turned off after the last trick or treater, retail locations turn on the Christmas Music loop.  Playing one catchy holiday tune after another and without fail the fear of home decor inadequacy rings louder and louder.  The push to recreate the spaces in one’s home provides such pressure that the search and seizure of home decorating begins.  To help my clients steady their overwhelming surge for instant gratification I like to remind them that the beautiful homes for the holidays are the ones that offer a sense of relaxation and evoke personality and ideals.

Jeffrey Alan Marks

In Jeffery Alan Marks “The Meaning of Home”,  the designer showcases his talent and work.  Although known as one of Bravo TV’s Million Dollar Decorator’s, it is his advice that offers the most value and why I continue to find myself looking to the pages for inspiration.  With chapters entitled Breezy, Tailored, Brave and at Ease, it is the section with the heading STEADY that sends a message to help cure the “hurry up and get the redecorating job done” exposure!  (2014 Word of the Year) -http://blog.dictionary.com/exposure/

He refers to the “steady” environment of a home resulting not by physical mass of furniture or the weight of drapes but from spaces that feel comfortable, honest and dependable.  He believes it is when the homeowners  bring in their sense of family, traditions and personal connections that a meaningful and steadfast haven is created.In my own home it is the thrill of using beloved handed down dishes such as these purple Johnson Brother’s British Castles transferware, circa 1930’s.  If you want to build your own vintage dish set for instant table charm and comfort,  look to local vintage shops and/or the etsy market.  Here are a few examples:  https://www.etsy.com/market/old_britain_castles

For Holiday Breakfast we often use our Vintage Staffordshire Myott Cottage Rose Dishes.

Room for One More, 1952

These were the same pattern Cary Grant and his family used in the 1952 movie “Room for One More”. Here is a link to a yummy Easy Breezy Breakfast Casserole Dish to serve on them. I found this from the Bayfront Westcott House Bed & Breakfast in St. Augustine, Florida.

So as the days keep slipping by and we quickly approach the Holidays, take inspiration from Britain’s Morale Boosting Motto during WWII :  “Keep Calm & Carry On”. 

Do not allow the push and pressure and possible sense that your spaces lack magazine worthy appeal to discourage you.  If you aren’t happy with the way your home looks and feels by all means consider redecorating, making improvements and seeking help to do so but not under duress.  Allow yourself to breathe and ENJOY! the Holidays.  Take the time to develop a plan, cultivate ideas and allow time to reveal as Jeffery Alan Marks references your “own” meaning of Home..

“I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive.” -Gilda Radner

Every time I return home from work Jack & Lucy, my two beloved yellow labs, go crazy over the smorgasbord of smells I am wearing from my client’s four legged family members, who equally have sniffed me out that day.  Because the pups of the homes we redecorate can be a FAVORITE part of our work, I will often take snapshots on my phone of the great dogs we get to visit and pet through out the day.

Bailey looked on and kept us company as we hung various art work throughout the client’s house.

In addition to friendly greetings, they allow us to experience the comfort of petting them as we review concepts and ideas with their master’s.   We FIND ourselves taking their membership in the household as an important component for consideration, it always has real impact in the options and choices for what we recommend.  Typically and specifically in regards to upholstered furniture – how easy it is to clean and how well it will hold up with living with dogs.

petloversmarket.com/pet-shop/we-love-our-dogs/

and this is why  we love Sunbrella fabrics!  Sunbrella has an incredible selection of choices, they have reached far and beyond just outdoor patio furniture fabrics.  Check out their numerous products HERE at their WEBSITE.

Bella poses in front of a comfortable sleeper sofa covered with Sunbrella fabric.

H & H Furniture and Design, with shops located in both Havana & Tallahassee, offer upholstered furniture with the option of using Sunbrella Fabrics.  This beautiful sleeper sofa purchased by a client is covered with Sunbrella Fabric.

only a few of the GREAT! colors available in the Sunbrella’s Velveteen Fabrics. Not shown but also available are ranges of blue, including favorites Aqua and Grey!

A few months back when visiting locally owned Chrysalis Fine Fabrics, we were excited to see and feel a new line of Velveeten styled Sunbrella, now available.  These are great for throw pillows and they come in several GREAT! colors!

We are INSPIRED by dogs in real life and in art.  It isn’t a surprise that we hung this oil dated 1834 found in Camden, Maine in the middle of our shops/studio wall, we face it when working @ our desk.

Or that our go to pencil holder mimics my facial expression when deep in work and contemplation with bottom teeth jetted out a bit.

If you are a dog lover and want to be inspired then we recommend visiting one of our FAVORITE stops when in New York, The William Secord Gallery .

William Secord was the founding director of the Dog Museum of America and owns the gallery that specializes in nineteenth century dog and animal art.  He has written several articles and published a few books on the history of the dog in art and the American dog at home. If New York isn’t in your Travel plans than you may want to visit the Thomasville Antique Show that takes place in February of each year in Thomasville, GA . William is a dedicated attendee, exhibiting and on hand for a great chat about the Love of Dogs! 

Look at that face! Taken at the start of the day – How could you be anything but inspired!

No blog post about Dogs we LOVE would be complete without a pic of one of the most PHOTOGENIC Dogs EVER! Billie.  Billie shares her life with our very own Alicia Osborne, Photographer.

Wednesday’s Child is full of (Woe) Wonderful!

The Addams Family creator, Charles Addams named the character after the well know nursery rhyme – “Wednesday’s Child is full of Woe.”

With October 31st only a few days away, the discussions of costume choice has come up a few times.  It is fun for me to hear how the people in my life plan to dress up for Trick or Treat.  From my grandson, daughters, and my niece, Haley who would make the most perfect Wednesday Addams (an inspiring role model for her) to my clients,  it runs the gamut and no matter the age they are equally enthusiastic!

a client’s beloved pets – Edgar, the black cat posing (Ralph in the background) .

 

Halloween is a great time to pull in the dramatic.  When a client has come to us asking for the dramatic, black has often been our go to color.  I find myself continuing to be enthusiastic about infusing black color schemes in paint; fabrics; furniture, wallpaper and accessories. Although it might seem a little scary it is anything but Woeful and instead quite Wonderful!

Black is often more effective showcasing equally dramatic art such as in this case with artist’s Mary Urquart’s Oil on Linen painting, “Last Light”.

 

 

Interior Designers Ron Woodson’s and Jaime Rummerfield’s showcase just how beautiful and sophisticated black accents and decor can be in their 2008 book entitled “High Style” a favorite staple on my decorator bookshelf library.

If you are looking for great black paint suggestions try:  Benjamin Moore’s  (Halloween appropriate) Witching Hour.  We have also had great results with Farrow & Ball”s OFF-BLACK No. 57 – “more flattering to adjacent paint colors than jet black.”  While checking out what Farrow & Ball has to offer seek out their wallpaper options including the black and white lotus.

SEE IT HERE

For additionally inspired inclusion and use of black in accents and furniture options check out Williams-Sonoma Home Fall, 2014 Catalog. Think French, 1940’s Elegance.

Black is the new Black and although there may be a trick to using it just right (you may need a little help from your decorator) in the end is a true treat in its sophistication and results.

marvel, stunner, admiration & awe

I recently heard that Neil Patrick Harris was going to host the Tony’s again this year.  I love watching the Tony’s and who hosts makes a difference.  The announcement reminded me of when Neil Patrick hosted the 67th Annual Tony Awards in 2013.  He was amazing! He won an Emmy for his appearance. He was a part of several different ensemble performances that were real SHOW STOPPERs!  Lately my work has taken me in the direction of FINDING  those pieces that marvel, awe and absorb the admiration of my clients.  This often happens when starting a decorating project from scratch. The task is to create a cast of pieces that support that leading actor, I mean furnishing.   An ensemble when all pulled together stops the show.

 

Katy Skelton‘s Vintage Media Center:  I originally found Katy Skelton‘s Furniture Designs after having a specific look for a console in mind for a client.  Seeking and searching led me to one of her pieces; an Industry Desk.

From Elle Decor

 

The measurements were not quite right but the look was there.  The desk, with a little tweaking of measurements, could make a great console.  The creation of the piece involves etching the steel with copper.  The look is unlike other pieces and offers a varied look in the finish.  Additionally, the design offered side shelves which would work great to showcase a couple chosen items.  Many times independent designers can custom make a piece and it is smart to dialog with the designer to find out.  The direct inquiry led to reviewing other Katy Skelton Designs. The Vintage Media Center in a custom painted white was perfect to be placed in another home I was working on.

We LOVED the piece.  It was exciting to learn that this show stopper piece will also be a component in a Nancy Meyer’s movie, The Intern with Anne Hathaway and Robert Deniro, coming out in January, 2015. It is placed in the living room of Anne Hathaway’s character Jule’s brownstone home. Check it out HERE on Nancy’s Instagram!

Another piece we helped a client find was the Turner Coffee Table from Birch Lane.  The piece has this great top surface, a chalk-colored travertine with hints of grays and browns.  The legs are metal with an x-shaped base and an antiqued brass finish.

It was exciting to see the exact coffee table featured in this month’s issue of Southern Living and in a Southern Living coffee table decor video! See the video HERE!

Not every client is starting from scratch. If you aren’t and are instead restyling an existing space conceptually, restart with an empty room. Basically a clean canvas concept. Remember that rugs, window panels, textiles and accessorizes can be the item that offers the pizzaz. To prove my point check out www.angelaadams.com . Here are two different rugs from Angela we recently placed.

Fully Furnished

“Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do…but how much love we put in that action.”  -Mother Teresa

After seeking and searching and looking around we finally found the water view home we wanted to call ours.  It is hard to explain the why and and why nots of certain homes that you look at and decide not to pursue and the ones you do.  For me, the Bay house in Apalachicola was a place I could envision a life that I would love.

Apalachicola is an hour and forty-five minute drive from Tallahassee, our primary home, our place of work and school.  A wonderful drive along 98, the coast line that, once taken, transports one to a place where time stands still and yet passes twice as quickly.

Trader’s Antiques – 107 St. James Ave., Carrabelle – 98 as you travel through Carrabelle, 850-697-2837

There are few stops between here and there; Trader’s Antiques, owned by Mary Graves and her cats is one of my favorites.  I met Mary a long time ago (approximately 17 years ago) when I was sitting behind her at a local junk/antique auction.  She was sweet, quiet and savvy.  She had a great eye that was supported by her experience and knowledge and she was committed to a price, not to go over or be outbid.  If you have ever attended an auction you know exactly what I am talking about.  I struck up a conversation with Mary and she kindly encouraged me to visit her at her shop in Carrabelle.  I asked her the hours and she shared with me that she was there most days, unless she had to be somewhere else.  If the Open sign was out, or if her truck was parked in front,  it was a good time to visit, just don’t let the cat get out.  For the most part I think that people rarely refer to the Carrabelle Treasure as “Trader’s Antiques” and instead refer to it as “Mary’s Place”.I recommend stopping by. I love to chat with Mary, it is the kind of visit that makes it a good day.  The stop in is everything I love about vintage find shopping.  Before I leave I will get a couple of updates on local happenings, a funny story and learn something new about a piece or two in the shop that has caught my interest in which I will typically purchase.

The Bay house came fully furnished.  It was tastefully put together and staged well. From a decorator’s point of view furnishings were to scale and of good quality.  The fully furnished even included dishes, utensils and unexpired food items in the pantry.  There was a supply of  laundry detergent and hair dryers left in the cabinets under the bathroom sinks.  The place was move in ready. There is something unencumbering about a fully furnished home.  You pack a bag and you go, once you fill the drawers and closets with some of your clothes, well then you don’t even need to pack a bag.  

It has only been a couple of weeks of a weekend here and driving over for a day + a night there to realize that the furniture and decorations of the previous owners, although appreciated for the freedom of having to furnish, will be edited as the inspiration for the love of art and pieces and how we function in the home are realized and determined.  As Architect and Designer Bobby McAlpine titled his book there is “The Home Within Us” and we Love this opportunity to Find it.  Don’t be surprised if there are a few pieces that were found @ Mary’s Place.

progress defined

“Adopt the pace of nature:  her secret is patience”                                                                                                                                                                                                                            – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I may be the only one still wishing people “HAPPY NEW Year”. It is relative.  We are ending only the fourth week into the new year and I haven’t seen everyone.

This time of year is always refreshing.  Typically decorating clients aren’t concerned with holiday deadlines and the rush to pull the spaces in their home together quickly to accommodate visiting family and friends.

 

The projects become more about the individuals living in the home and exploring the possibilities.  Time to explore allows for a more organic unfolding of ideas, solutions and yields more organic results. An unstressed pace allows patience to discover what, why and find and so it grows.  The redecorating has the opportunity to showcase the layering of one’s style, history and inspiration.  It is as if one is gardening the home’s interior to provide function and artistry.  Cultivated with a sense of time and a place for everything, weeding out what spoils the landscape and devoting to what will nurture the space.

Unfortunately technology, busy lives, the need for instant gratification and 42 1/2 minute  home decorating television shows (accounting for commercials) have perpetuated the sense that maybe Rome could be built in a day.  This decorator doesn’t subscribe to the add water for instant pop up results and instead encourages clients to take a deep breathe and decide to approach the project as  if a  holiday; “Time set aside by custom on which normal activities, especially business or work, are suspended or reduced and therefore not handle as business or work.”

Decorating is a building process, it intertwines and  has a domino effect.  Choices and inclusion lead to other choices and exclusion. Purchasing furniture without considering the big picture or choosing a color quickly because the painter can start the job next week can lead to mistakes, settling, disappointments in the overall results and be financially costly.  However, taking your time to understand the impact of each choice may lead you to a better one  and the creation of the room within you.

If you live in a room without windows and doors you become the air you breathe. – Stephanie Cunningham

The new year will abide by changing into the next season but only on its own schedule.   Making progress, creating an environment in our home that offers a sense of harmony, warmth, charm and one that shelters our daydreaming abides as well, allow yourself to enjoy the process and give it time.
