    Entryways are not just for passing through. No matter the size of your foyer, it can be both a welcome into your home as well as space to use creatively for your own lifestyle.

  2. Reflections on Mirrors

    I’ll admit it, I am a decorating fanatic. I love to talk decorating—anytime with most anyone. But most especially, I love browsing for inspiration in magazines and on websites.

My current fave? The Antonella floor mirror. But wait, I’m getting ahead of myself.

  4. Goodbye plain brown: Furniture woods experience renaissance

    Wood furniture finishes aren’t what they used to be, and that’s actually a good thing.
    For years, there’s been brown, light brown, dark brown, medium brown…you get the idea. Maybe with a few painted color finishes or black finishes thrown in here and there.
    Yet introductions at the international April High Point Furniture Market opening later this week signal that wood is emerging from its under-the-radar status to play a more prominent role in the overall design of furniture ...

  5. Casual Opulence, Rough Lux & Relaxed Elegance

    You wouldn’t expect the words “casual” and “opulent” to hang out together.
    After all, casual means “easy style” and “suited for everyday use,” while opulent is anything but ordinary. Opulent means luxurious, effusive, extravagant, gilded and glittery.
