Early Fall Golds and Greens

I went for a run this morning (it was a first in a loooong time).  

The air was crisp and the early morning sun shine brought out the most beautiful

 golds and greens that nature had to offer.  

 I had to stop and take a picture... 

In my defense it was the end of my run :)

The Gift of a Good Friendship

This past weekend I finally got to see my best friends from my hometown.  I feel so lucky to have those girlfriends in my life that no matter how much time goes by, we just pick up where we left off.
The story telling of our adventures, good times and bad times, and catching up on what we missed never gets old.  Your best friends always seem to know how to make you laugh the hardest and you just can't help but feel young and maybe a little silly again.

It's the gift of a good friendship

We call them little "soul mates".

Get Matchy

I recently received an email from an install using Quadrille Arbre de Matisse fabric and fell in-love! Usually when we think of matching wall coverings with upholstery and drapery, it is something left behind in our aunt's and mother's decor. 

 Matching prints is still (and will always be) a beautiful option and a great way to unify key design elements in a room.  It can make a large room feel cozy with soft patterns and hues.  A small room welcomes a bold statement with bright and fresh patterns.  If you do decide to go bold, it is important to balance the space with solid and neutrals or use your bold choices in moderation.  

Wow Tory Burch!
