Scheme of the Day: Back To School

Today marks the beginning of the School Year for many of us in the Triangle.
Why not celebrate with additions to your house that are schoolhouse nostalgic?

Here are some things we love for the K-12 pupils:

The Fabulous Metropolis Wall Clock from CB2 (Great Scale) & These Puzzle Tables from Go Home Ltd:

The Jacqui Desk in Apple Green from Bungalow 5 & Madeline Weinrib Pillows that remind us of Charlie Brown’s Shirt:
Here are some things we love for us:

Pendants with Milk Glass from Visual Comfort & planters for the kitchen in a chalkboard finish
The Domino runner from our Friends at Niba Rug & the Hallings Secretary designed by Thomas O’Brien for Hickory Chair

Happy Valentine’s Day!

The designers have been contemplating this Valentine’s Day post for a while. For the occasion, Hilaire created the graphic below and Lauren & I followed it up with some inspirational room images all in our favorite lipstick-worthy shades. Love the touch of black- it grounds the feminine, ethereal atmosphere.


Paris Hilton’s Bedroom (below) she. would.
This space could inspire a whole cosmetic line. Easy, breezy, beautiful…


Party space fit for the original Barbie

Can I live here, please?
We thought this bedroom was over the top, but we had to include it anyway.

*Note the red leather bedding

A relaxing retreat (in contrast to the last 2 images) the neutral gray balances the energy of red


Adore the chest….

& from our own portfolio, these images from the ASID/Women’s Club of Raleigh Showhouse

Powder Room above by moi and living room designed by Judy.

Both spaces are indisputably fit for Valentine’s Day.

Have a lovely weekend!
