Winter Wonderland

By Kate Zylstra | Published: January 10, 2012
The holidays have come and gone and to my disappointment, I still haven’t seen snow. Not that I expect much snow in central North Carolina, but I had hoped my visit to Chicago would include at least a dusting of fluffy white. Even though snow is a rarity here, I can still get in the winter [...]

Returning from the DARK side…

By Tracy Dunn | Published: January 6, 2012
During the last fifteen plus years, we have had a tidal wave of BROWN, BROWN, and BROWNER finishes in wood furniture.

When a design project is completed, I think about all of the logistics that are involved. I love design and the feedback from my clients is very important.

Yesteryear comes anew…

By Tracy Dunn | Published: January 3, 2012
New items do not always represent new trends. We tend to keep the best and most appealing looks from past eras. Minimalistic has become the new modern, and today’s modern draws heavily from the Mid-20th Century.

By Furnitureland South | Published: December 29, 2011
As I was perusing our endless selection of furniture today, I noticed this gorgeous chest from Caracole Home. It’s perfect and fabulous in so many ways, and would blend with just about any style. It’s just curvy enough to be inviting without being overpowering. And it’s the perfect neutral tone to ring in the New Year.  [...]

By Chris Fox | Published: December 26, 2011
Yes, I know the holidays and all their assorted expenses are all over us, and you’re probably spent out, but I’m willing to bet you didn’t get any furniture as a gift. On the other hand, you may have gotten some cash as a gift so this is one of the best opportunities you’ll [...]
