Ready for a fresh, new look?

Karen Menge, ASID — Fri, 16 Dec 2016 14:03:06 +0000

After 15 years or so, my clients called to say they were ready for a fresh new look. Out went the original oriental rugs and in came off white walls and a jute rug. Some of the chairs were painted and all were recovered. New lamps, artwork, tables and accessories combined for a much lighter, […]

The Ultimate Kitchen

Careful space planning including in-depth discussions on function, placement of appliances, and layout of cabinets and drawers provide the groundwork for a new kitchen work space. From the ceiling to the floor, every inch is utilized. There is a purpose for every space in this kitchen and breakfast room. In-depth planning is the key to not […]

Books, Built-Ins and Banana Bark

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 06:30:57 +0000

How do you go about giving a room depth, detail, and architectural interest when it’s just a sheet rock box? Having recently added a keeping room off my kitchen, I had to tackle that dilemma for myself. With the fireplace in my outdoor room just a small courtyard away, I did not want another one […]

LED lights: How to decide what to buy!

Karen Menge, ASID — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 14:59:58 +0000

We are being dragged into the 21st century by the changes in our lighting supplies. Whoever thought buying a simple light bulb could be so difficult!! The choices and terminology are confusing at best. You can’t just grab a package of light bulbs at Publix anymore and know what you are getting. On many of […]

Something Old, Something New

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 17:14:16 +0000

It’s not often something new comes along that solves a problem that’s a recurring issue with many clients. But like most “new” ideas, it’s really just a twist on something that’s been around a long time. The problem? What should I put at my kitchen sink to save my floors and my back? Whatever you […]

Tailored Trims

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 04 Feb 2016 08:08:17 +0000

When it comes to trim, whether it’s on a pillow or draperies, I tend to prefer the simplicity and tailored look of a flat braid. Several oversized braids and appliques are now available that give us a new way to update an old (and classic) theme. On a recent trip to ADAC in Atlanta, I […]

When To Use An Antique Rug

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 03:54:18 +0000

When it comes to oriental rugs, I always prefer the look and feel of an antique. However, it’s not always possible to find the correct color, style, or size – especially when you need a large one, as shown here. The interior of this Charleston parlor (featured in Fall/Winter 2012 Elegant Homes), with it’s beautifully restored […]

For the Record

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 18:11:44 +0000

“We had a leak! Do you have my ceiling color?” “Do you have a paint sample from the dining room? I lost my swatch.” Whether renovating, updating, or for disaster repair, I encourage my clients to keep good records of finishes for quick reference. (We keep a copy here, too-just in case!). Files. Binders-Whatever works […]

Can this chair be saved?

lhough — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 15:35:15 +0000

Or should you even try? Clients ask us this all of the time. There is not a simple answer to that question. In fact, more questions need to be addressed before the answer is clear.Questions to consider: What is the quality of the frame? It should be a kiln dried hardwood frame with 8 way […]
