A little whimsy
We love the photography of Rodney Smith. His style is retro, romantic and whimsical; classicism with a twist. Great composition and spot-on styling garners two thumbs (way) up from us!

Spring Fresh
Sorry it’s been so long since we’ve posted. I have no excuse besides the fact that life has been crazy (with all great things). Now that Easter is over, we are fully prepared for Spring to hit us full force! We are totally inspired by the brilliant styling of the Dietlind Wolf. We hope this brightens your day!

Good Geometry

We are loving the idea of decorating with modern geometric shapes, but sometimes feel like it can be a little too trendy. Using softer colors, and smaller amounts of geometric elements can add modernism to a space without making it feel like a spaceship.
