Busy, Busy . .

Hey There !

When you have a new client who's not afraid of color, texture and pattern it's a bit of a dream come true (pour moi).  I had such good time working on these boards for Lisa Hicks.  Recent California transplant, her new home has a few key pieces she wanted to work around, well two actually, A coffee table and dining table.  She needed everything else.  We are starting in her main living space, kitchen and dining room with a huge infusion of color in various forms - windows, wall paper, rugs.  I am quite excited.  Take a look . . 



There are some key things in the design that are new and I have been anxious to use.  The first is this gorgeous wall paper by Amanda Talley (available through us designers or Hidell Brooks Gallery)  Amanda has transformed her unique patterns and colors into these all engaging papers.  Love.

I chose this pattern for Lisa's family room - but it was a hard choice.. all of the colors and patterns are gorgeous . . .



Take a look at the other patterns available




Another detail we are adding to her space is a dose of tile behind her TV and fireplace.  It's a weird angled wall that just needed something.  This is a new pattern mixing a grey marble and a black marble, the perfect tie back to her backsplash in the open kitchen / family room floor plan.


New and unique lighting to replace the ho-hum builder lighting.


And fabrics - big and splashy.  These are the two curtain fabrics I am pulling in.  Brand new and on a large scale for a lot of drama.



Have a fabulous new account with a furniture vendor in Highpoint.   They have several pieces with unique lines and details.

An 84" tight back, tufted sofa in a grey fabric as oppose to the leather, along with two comfortable swivel chairs will fill her living space.  Take a look at a few other pieces in their line that really caught my eye.

All available through www.lucyandcompany.com







A big splash on the "fifth wall' as well.  This Ikat pattern rug with  it's reds, rusts and teal will break up all the blues in the space and add this "mis-match / eclectic" vibe I am going for.


Take a peek at the other colors available.  Love this rug !



After we finish the main living space, we plan on moving into the master bedroom.  I put a plan in place so when ready we can just begin ordering.  I wanted to give the Hicks a full look into how it can all come together, as well as pricing out for planning purposes !



We have a front office and foyer in the works as well.

Stay tuned for this fun install !

What's a Style.ma.ker?

Hey there . . . 

This month's Charlotte Urban Home Stylemaker page gave, not only me a nice shout out, but showed the works of Amanda Talley.  Love her work and wanted to show off a few pieces . . .


I remember not too long ago I was speaking with Rebecca Brooks and she was about to receive a custom piece of Amanda's work.  She was most excited, and after taking a look at her work, I got excited as well !


Amanda's studio is located in New Orleans, in the garden district of downtown.  You can visit the studio and go on a tour.  Too far away?   Go visit Hidell Brooks Gallery here in Charlotte to see her work.

I see these pieces and think first of all - amazing color, graphic patterns and movement.  While abstract, which I love, the style and colors would pop in a transitional space, commercial space or frankly anywhere.  Visit her site, she creates beauty.
