We're not talking the 1960's American Western
TV series starring Clint Eastwood...
we're hollering about a trend of using hair-on hide in decor, such as throw pillows.
Even if you you're not a cowboy, this is a beautiful way to bring a natural material into your home. Texture and organic fibers bring a about a desirable aesthetic, and warmth to the environment.
This gorgeous hair-on hide accent chair with nailhead detail could become the center of attention, and could mix with classic or modern style interiors. It's "Like"-worthy!
Happy trails!
The invitation in to your home is the first impression
of how you welcome family, friends and visitors. You are saying “mi casa es su casa”
for the time guests are there within your sanctuary.
When our home is staunch and
un-inviting is says loud and clear how we feel about our guests, and although
we are proud of where we live our lives, we certainly don’t want to send out an
impolite, unintended message.
It’s our hope to help you bring that “welcome in”
feeling to all who visit; a sense that leaving is always with a “please come
back” attitude.
We're off to make some pretty,

GUEST ROOM ZEST....and how to give it.
We don't do this for a living to regurgitate ordinary...we bring your home to life with unique and creative elements to bring you "joie de verve" - joy of life.
But more than that, we want you to extend that inviting atmosphere to revered friends as guests in your home. We find solutions for bringing your inspiration to life, and have many talented tradespeople for CUSTOM projects. So, why not do something "extra" and let a cool novelty speak for itself:
- Hang a faux vintage neon sign stating, "Vacancy" above a well-appointed, lush guest bed
- Strike a chord with a musical theme with a 'collage' or assemblage of your Ukelele collection
- Bring that yacht feel to the space with a dropped rounded-ceiling, padded platform bed and thick round mirrors
- Showcase all of the roses from past anniversaries pressed under beveled glass atop a stunning desk
A one-of-a-kind guest room makes your visitor feel privileged and blessed. Imagine a built-in drawer with pumps protruding and gorgeous monogrammed labels that say, "Plumeria Hand-Lotion" and "Coconut Sunscreen." It's the small custom touches and your attention to small details that makes for a great reception for your company.
And not all elements are a trifle...deliberate non-slip flooring decisions or a subtly lit walkway with custom LED lighting strips makes it easier for the aging members who stay in your guest room to navigate in the night.
Say a warm "Welcome" to your guest, whether it is with a sophisticated sanctuary, a romantic nest or a culture-steeped refuge!

Looking for something timeless to add to your room?
You don't have to live in a tropical climate to appreciate the beauty and perennial shape of the PINEAPPLE...and it is everywhere in design lately.
Even if you're not trying to emulate a South Seas interior, the pineapple symbolizes HOSPITALITY. I mean, can you imagine someone seeing a pineapple and thinking, "Oh, this place isn't inviting"?
It's unique appearance and history lends to its status of luxury, warmth and generosity.
The pineapple motif has had it's 'popularity' in the past, but I'm not talking kitschy, "matchy-matchy" curtains and towels. Purposely placed carved pineapple bookends can look stellar in a formal den, or a glass pineapple the center of a table dressed-to-the nines.
If you're lucky enough, you might find pineapple finials on turned wood bedposts -- (I'm still hunting for those!)
Integrating this beautiful shape is easy. Vintage stores and collectors can be a likely place to locate a lamp, fixture or other adornment, but choose one thing that deliberately shows your personality and style.
We use many sources that supply all kinds of goodness, and I've seen some gorgeous pineapple pieces that would surely showcase your hospitable space!

"Let's talk about Sets..."
Matching pairs are Sexy...
Two beautiful velvet chairs, two stunning lamps, even two matching area rugs. If you're someone that has to have symmetry or you feel out of balance, then this type of design is good for you visually.
It could be that you crave that formal room style, and your current room says chaotic. Spaces that have that have symmetrical decor or even architecture, give a sense of order. Even if your room is not going to be a formal living room, we will still delve into your design desires to find out if this is the type of environment you need to suit your psyche.
When we sit down with you, we look for cues and ask lots of questions about your style, your design likes and dislikes, how you want the room to make you feel, how you will use the room and so forth.
We use a mix of "art & science" to come up with an room aesthetic that makes you feel good! There's no doubt about it, we will know you quite a bit before we present concepts so that you feel like,"Hey, they get me."
