Summer Visitors and a Decorating Tip

July 13, 2018 By Holly Thompson 2 Comments

Hi there! I hope you are all having a nice summer!  We are having a stay-cation this year at our neighborhood pool, since we can't be away from a few of our projects at the moment.  We're thinking about heading to the mountains in East Tennessee for a short trip in the fall though.  If you have suggestions on where to stay or what to see in the Great Smokies, let me know!  We are thinking more ...

Getting the Look

May 9, 2018 By Holly Thompson Leave a Comment

It's hard to believe it has been one full year since our photo shoot for American Farmhouse Style magazine! It has been such a busy year since, and I was so burned out on decorating that I thought I would never care about decorating our own house again. Then, we found ourselves opening a shop that was originally just kitchen hardscapes (cabinets, countertops and tile), and turned into all that ... View Post

Farm tables and more, plus a small request

April 27, 2018 By Holly Thompson 6 Comments

Hi there! We just survived our first full week of being open!  Thanks to all of you who came in to visit us!  We started the week scrambling to get everything priced and displayed, and ended the week with our first Google review (and a GIANT load of new items waiting to be priced and displayed)! Plus some new customers and clients.  It all turned out much better than expected (let's just say I ... View Post

Thoughts on Blogging

May 26, 2017 By Holly Thompson 6 Comments

Hello again, guys!  I'm working on updating the blog more often...normally I only think of writing something about every two weeks.  In that time, there were several things to write about, so I try to pick the most important thing.  Then I go to a coffee shop and try to get started. Then I decide none of them were worth writing about and give up. Then I read that if I don't do it once a ... View Post

A Fresh Start

January 10, 2017 By Holly Thompson Leave a Comment

I always love starting fresh every January.  It's especially fun because my husband gets the kids to help him put away the Christmas stuff, while I get to stare at the clean surfaces and imagine all the decorating possibilities.  I'm still pondering those, but when I figure it out, I'll have some more January pictures for you!  For now, here's one of my favorite Christmas pictures.  These three ...

How to Be Good at Picking Paint Colors

August 8, 2016 By Holly Thompson 3 Comments

Honestly, it is not that easy to pick a good paint color.  People who think it's easy are generally the same people who can't tell if what they pick is bad.  So if you think it's hard to figure out a paint color, you probably have more awareness than you think when it comes to design. Really, choosing a paint color is complicated, especially if there are things in your house that it needs to go ... View Post

The lines of this are so stunning, I had to try it The lines of this are so stunning, I had to try it in black and white. This is the upstairs of our house! I can't even tell you how difficult it is to plan a two-story addition on a 1.5-story house that won't show from the front. I think it's turning out better than I imagined!

I did not realize there were festivities today in I did not realize there were festivities today in downtown Franklin until I saw everything blocked off for the Rodeo Parade! I decided to take a break from the worky-works to enjoy the festivities, meet a SCAD friend for coffee, and shop local at the fun shops all around. Check out the umbrella from the pop-up shop on the sidewalk. I need one of these! @jondie @whitesmercantile
@studiomkerdasha, Natalie and I expected to see you out and about. 😉
