The holidays are synonymous with entertaining. Whether it's with your co-workers, friends or family, your calendar will soon be filled with holiday parties and your home filled with guests. There are those that are the no-frills entertainers, who value the company more than anything else. And there are others who love to go all out, creating a fabulous menu and unique cocktails and fill their homes with holiday decor. Whatever category you fall into, it's important to create a tablescape that fits the feel and mood for your gathering.

Brass and copper are making a comeback in interior design. What was once a trend in the late 80s and 90s is making its way into our homes once again. But fear not - the 'new' brass and copper are great materials for providing warmth and richness to a room, something that's perfect for the fall season. 

For those that like to entertain, the dining room is an important part of a home. It's where you possibly host your family holiday meals, celebrate birthdays, or entertain out-of-town guests. It's a place where conversations are shared over a glass of red wine and a big bowl of pasta. 

School is back in session, and the official start of fall is right around the corner. Soon the temperatures will change and so will the colors outside your door. Not only will nature's colors change, but, as usual, the interior design color forecast is changing as well for the upcoming season.

When it comes to designing a space, there are various elements of design to consider. We have color, pattern, lighting, shapes, contrast, and proportion to name a few. One occasionally overlooked element of design is texture. 

A home office is a place where you need to be comfortable, focused and organized. But a home office doesn't have to be boring.

Even though the official start of Summer is only a few days away, many of us have already been enjoying Summer-like temperatures and activities. What a great time of year! It means many hours of daylight and warm nights spent outside.

You've just bought your dream home or maybe even your very first home. You are just now getting settled in, most of the boxes have been unpacked and you're getting familiar with the area and the neighborhood.

Recently, we had the pleasure of teaming up with Greenville-based builder Milestone Custom Homes and Verdae Development to help design an estate home located in The Manor at Hollingsworth Park here in Greenville, SC.
