A white and pink foyer- the reveal
Morning friends! I'm excited to share another reveal with you. This reveal is from the home of where I created the Blue and White dining room. Their entrance was a blank slate. So, I was allowed to do with it what I pleased. I really wanted to put in a settee or some type of seating but I could not find anything that suited the space. I had this beautiful piece from Home Decorators. I have been stalking the Reflections three piece cabinet for a long time. It always looked so pretty online, but I have to

Morning friends! Hope this Tuesday is treating you well! I had high hopes for a post yesterday, but as you can see I failed. We got back into town late from a wonderful weekend of snowboarding and skiing in Boone, NC. The boys were in ski school and I'm so proud of my 2, almost 3 year old for skiing. It was really a great trip with my family. Anyway, so I'm hoping that tomorrow I can get it together and post an entry before and after for you. In the meantime, let's peruse some fun things I
Courtney from A Thoughtful Place
Good morning friends! I'm so excited to get back into my "guess who's dropping in for coffee" series. Today I have a very talented guest who is a great decorator, stylish fashion blogger and who can put together one heck of a party. It is the sweet and darling Courtney from A Thoughtful Place. Come grab your morning beverage of choice and join me for a fun read! 1. What did you do prior to creating A Thoughtful Place? I taught fifth grade for almost ten years. I adored teaching and lived at the school. However, after I had my
Blue & White Dining Room Reveal
Morning friends! I'm excited to have finally gotten it together and have photographed one of the three completed projects so far! I received an email from the owner of this home asking about my design/decorating services. We chatted a little via email, I came to her home and she hired me on the spot. It's a sweet newly married couple who just moved into this home. The home is lovely and has so much potential so I was ready to take it on. The previous owner had the standard builder things, beige walls, oil rubbed light

Morning friends! It's Tuesday and schools are closed here in Charleston! It's going to be a long day in the Edwards household with kids running around like wild banshees. On that note, I'm going to take a quick mental break and show you all some pretty things that have caught my eye lately. I have a client who has WAY too many built-ins. I recently suggested doing something similar to this to help cover them and make them a more useful storage area.

Happy Tuesday loves! Hope y'all had a great weekend! Ours was crazy busy and I loved every second of it because it was one event after the other but it included the entire family which was so nice! So, daddy is off traveling, kiddos are sleeping and I'm online looking for inspiration for my latest project. And, maybe doing a little online shopping. ;-) I am dreaming of redoing our backyard because I have great visions of my boys swimming and playing in it for years to come. This one would be lovely!

The Charleston Single
When I think of Charleston homes, the first type of home that pops into my mind is a Charleston single. I remember coming to Charleston when I was younger and walking the streets, doing historical tours and just being amazed by all the beautiful homes. These days it's fun to test born and bred Charleston friends about their knowledge of the history of their city. I wanted to share a little about the Charleston single because that was the first and biggest project that my husband and I completed thus far, and it was the project that jump started us
Top 10 Tuesday
Mornin' friends! Let's drink some coffee and check out some loveliness today, shall we? This outdoor shower- yes! We have one but it's not this nice. It's a must here after you come from the beach to not bring the sand inside, we love it! Need a cute bag to sneak out of town for the weekend? I like this one a lot! This cottage kitchen is a scene out of a movie! I need to throw a party and I need to have these for it! I really like this bathroom and idea of the pendants hanging from the ceiling. This is a
Pillow talk….
Don't be thinking dirty y'all! ;-) Kidding, talking about fluffing those pillows and some pretty affordable pillows for your home! Ok, first of all, I have to confess. I'm VERY OCD about pillows. I fluff them twice a day at least if not more. And I'm not talking karate chop fluff. Let me explain. One day I was walking through a cute store here in Charleston and some pillows caught my attention. I picked them up and saw this tag that showed me how to fluff them. So I went home and tried this technique on my pillows and voila!
Style It Challenge Reveal for Taylor Burke Home, One Kings Lane and Cotton and Quill
I'm so excited for this reveal! I had an AMAZING opportunity to partner with Taylor Burke Home, One Kings Lane and Cotton and Quill for the "Style It Challenge" using the Taylor Burke Home X-bench. The timing was perfect; we just finished our master bedroom addition. Well, almost finished. The bathroom and the bedroom still have a long punch list, and my master closet was missing some fabulousness. My head started spinning. I saw brass, black walls, shelves, more brass and I needed a pop of color. I began browsing through fabric selections that were offered for my X-bench. It was
