Fifty Shades. The Sequel.

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Fri, 24 Jun 2016 02:50:37 +0000

Having just returned from this years trip, I am happy to report that Nantucket is just as blue and just as beautiful. A few years ago, I chronicled my honeymoon in Paris by exploring the many shades of green I happened to see at every turn. It’s not what I started out to do, it […]

I will really miss this house!

Karen Menge, ASID — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 05:00:13 +0000

As professional designers, we often work very closely with our clients in building or renovating their homes. We agonize over every decision for wiring, plumbing, wood trim, flooring, and tile as well as the “pretty” ones with fabric, wallpaper, furniture, and paint, as if they were our own. These houses become a part of us, […]

In High Point this week the furniture manufacturers showcased their new designs and colors for the designers and retailers at fall market. Orange has been the “in” color for several seasons, but this fall Blue is the new hot color. Blue and white, blue with orange or just plain blue colors were everywhere. Paired with […]

Using Artwork to Inspire a Design Scheme

Carol Hamilton — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 13:11:43 +0000

When I begin a room scheme, often I find inspiration from artwork the client loves. This particular framed watercolor of a Venice canal is not only beautiful, but also happens to have many colors that are popular this fall. It is a good starting point because the taupes, yellows, and greens can set a simple backdrop, […]

What Colors Do You See?

lhough — Thu, 20 Aug 2015 02:56:08 +0000

On a recent family trip to the Canadian Rockies, I couldn’t help but notice the many beautiful colors around us. Red and white in the Canadian flag, blue in the glacial lakes, yellow, pink and purple in the flower beds, browns of every shade imaginable in the mountains. Color was everywhere. Towering around us were mountains covered in ice and […]

“Thank you, Dad”

Carol Hamilton — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 05:50:51 +0000

Recently, I finished reading the book, “The Art Forger” by Barbara A. Shapiro, and the memories it stirred up have been both a surprise and a gift. The story centers on the heist of millions of dollars of artwork, including an important Degas painting, from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, in Boston in March of 1990. My […]

Finding the Perfect Stone For Your Kitchen or Bath

Karen Menge, ASID — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 20:51:02 +0000

I had a fun day in Charlotte on Tuesday going to make stone countertop selections with a client. When it comes to choosing a countertop, the conversation is always about whether to use granite or marble. For years, everyone thought they needed a granite. But, with the improved sealers that are available now, marbles have increased […]

In Living Color

On a recent trip to D.C. I visited the Smithsonian Institute’s National Museum of Natural History where they were exhibiting the winners of the Windland Smith Rice International Photography Awards. The exhibit was called “Nature’s Best Photography” and it truly was breathtaking! What colors do you see in your everyday surroundings? When you think of […]

Fifty Shades of Green

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 03:00:02 +0000

“I hate the color blue.” “My husband says he wants no green!” Few people come to us without an opinion about color. The few ambivalent ones quickly find themselves drawn to certain colors throughout the design process. I find these color preferences fascinating and decided to do a little research. Did you know that babies begin […]

Change is good

lhough — Thu, 28 Aug 2014 13:44:34 +0000

Have you ever noticed how everything around you seems to change without you even noticing? It’s like turning around and your child has grown up overnight, or within seconds your new I-Phone is out of date, or that sofa you just recovered has spots and stains all over it. In an instant, things are different. That’s how I […]
