High Point Market happens twice a year and is the largest home furnishings industry trade show in the world, with 2000 vendors in 180 buildings. We had a blast visiting showrooms, attending parties, meeting with our designer friends and finding out what the hot trends will be on the floors of our favorite showrooms in the coming year! Just like in fashion, the 70's are back!

But when it comes to decorating, to me, books are an essential element.

Read MoreThe 44th Annual Atlanta Symphony Associates' Decorators' Show House and Gardens opened to the public this weekend. Built in 1926, the Palazzo Rosa, or "Pink Palace" so named for the pink flowered trees that bloomed years ago, has been outfitted by some of the best designers in Atlanta.
Read MoreInterior design is the roommate that borrows shamelessly from the cool roommate's closet. At first she borrows a scarf and turns it into a throw pillow and the next thing you know, she's gone reverse von Trapp Family Singers on you and her clothes are now drapery panels.
Read MoreI respect people that say they don't own a TV, but I am 98% sure we will not be good friends. I need to relate on some pop culture level.

Read MoreWhen I walk in the woods, I'm that person on their hands and knees saying, "will you look at the colors in this moss!" and "this mushroom coming out of this green decaying log is blowing my mind!" There's one like me in every group. Right? Right?
