Fall Decorating

September 19, 2018 By Holly Thompson Leave a Comment

It's almost officially fall and I am so excited, despite that it's still 90 degrees here.  I have learned that the temperature really makes no difference.  You are officially allowed to decorate for fall when the calendar says September.  If you're really anxious, you can decorate for September in August.  Either way, if you live in the South, you should not feel bad about decorating for fall even ...

Summer is Here!

June 19, 2018 By Holly Thompson 2 Comments

Hi y'all! I've always said this as a joke because Northwesterners like us do not say "y'all", but I am just now learning that if you refuse to speak "Southern", you may find yourselves with some miscommunications with Southerners over this very word. In the South, the word "you" cannot be plural like it can be in the rest of the English-speaking world.  The only way to make "you" plural here ... View Post

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

The Countdown

March 28, 2018 By Holly Thompson Leave a Comment

Hi there! It seems I have been missing from my blog-writing duties lately.  I am so, so tired right now but we are almost to the fun part where I get to design and style our showroom!  I can't wait to post pictures of it (and our other projects), and hopefully meet you at our shop! Things have evolved in the past few months so much that it's hard to keep up!  I would love to give you an ... View Post

Mid-August Update

August 16, 2017 By Holly Thompson 4 Comments

I love this time of year.  Even though it's still summer (even more so in the South), the angle of the sun changes and reminds me of good things.  We're from the Pacific Northwest, and there (in Eastern Washington), the warm sun gives way quickly to chilly breezes by late October.  Those days in September and October are my favorites of the whole year.  Here, in Tennessee, we don't get to enjoy ...

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. 😉
