How to Unite your House with Design: Three Tips for Creating a Cohesive Home

November 19, 2017/ Ashley Palmer

Unifying your home with thoughtful design

I think about my house a lot. Probably more than the average Joe. Probably not more than you if you are reading this blog. I've recently been thinking about how certain design elements throughout my home (both inside and out) unite it together. Though different rooms have their own specific design, they are still part of a whole. They are same, same, but different. Siblings, cousins? These elements can be sneaky; they aren't always obvious, instead they hide in plain sight but make you feel a sense of cohesion and flow as you move throughout a home. A friend of ours recently said, "I like having hints of matching throughout the house." Yes, this exactly.

Hey hey friends! Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week? That also means our big Black Friday and Small Business Saturday sale is next week too! Everything (except our Gus* Modern pieces) will be 25% off! We only have sales like this two times a year, so don't miss out. Ok, enough of that. Now let's look at some pretty things from around the web.

We hosted some local bloggers recently, and another local Ashley wrote the nicest post about it. AND her photos of the event are so lovely. Thanks Ash!

We ask Little Yellow Couch Style Matters podcast hosts why style matters

November 12, 2017/ Ashley Daly

We've been listening to Little Yellow Couch's Style Matters podcast for a while now. Palmer often runs to it in the mornings, and I (Daly) sew to it during toddler nap-times. Karen and Zandra are funny and warm people who are passionate about the significant role style can play in people's lives. We love the guests they host–so many interesting, smart people who have made a business of helping inspire others in the interior design realm. It's not just about beautiful spaces, it's about how spaces can make you feel and help you be your best self.

This past week, Ashley and I, were lucky enough to be welcomed on to the Style Matters podcast as guests. We had THE best time and are so excited to share it with you. Click below to hear us chat it up about style and homes and furniture jokes.

In addition to all the wonderful design content we found around the internet for you, we have some exciting developments for our business to share. In January, we are welcoming several of our small business friends into studio spaces we are devising for them along the north wall of the shop. We are super excited the stars aligned and our very best business friends were ready for space when we were ready for a closer creative community. Who is joining us?

Colorful Vintage + Modern Kitchen Renovation in Tulsa, OK

November 05, 2017/ Ashley Palmer

Well, I can't believe it. Our kitchen is actually done. Done, I say! It's been so long, I'm ashamed for you to look back to see the date of the "before" kitchen post.

Okay. It was April 30th.

So that means the kitchen's been about six months in the making. Now to be completely fair, our kitchen has been functional since mid July, but the "finishing touches" took nearly as long as the bulk of the demo/installation. But whatever. It was our first renovation and we went at it without a general contractor and it's done now, so who cares if it took six months? Who's even counting, right? (I can say that now that it's over, because I did care. I was the crazy woman counting!).
