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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

Everyone Loves A Makeover

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 14:40:47 +0000

Have we really been working on this together for almost 30 years? My client and I had a laugh over how time has flown and how trends have changed. Considering an extensive (and overdue) makeover, we traveled from room to room as we inventoried each piece of furniture, recounting which year and which house […]

Explaining Natural Fiber Rugs

Linda Perrow — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 15:06:57 +0000

Fiber rugs are beautiful and add texture to any style of room. They provide elegance and/or a casual look depending on the placement. There are many designs of natural fiber rugs. Geometric patterns are very decorative even if they are neutral in color. Shades of khaki, beige, taupe, and off white are typical for this […]
