Back to Basics ~ Black and White

It’s no surprise to me that I’m a big fan of black and white interiors {about 95% of my business attire is black and white}.

The Tribal Vibe Beats on…

Decor drawing from native cultures will continue to expand in 2012 and beyond, inspiring furnishings with a historical perspective. This nomadic trend draws heavily from North & South America, with details from Middle Eastern cultures, and island tribes sprinkled in for an even more eclectic statement.

Design on a Dime

Design is often seen as a pricy matter. From end tables to rugs, the bill can really stack up. I tend to be the “budget-conscious” type. One of my greatest joys in life is finding a GREAT DEAL. This month at Furnitureland South, our MAGIC NUMBER is $3,999. For qualifying states, that number means FREE [...]

Winter Wonderland

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 [...]

I spy something white…

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.  [...]
