Very excited to see two of Shop Ten 25′s fabulous pieces featured on Glo MSN this week. Have you seen this site? It’s full of beauty advice and top products, the latest and greatest fashions and of course great write ups on all things design! The botanical inspired post shows off the latest and greatest to look forward to as Spring approaches.


Happy President’s Day. Seeing our flag displayed up and down our neighborhood street today made me happy! I shared a few of Mari Robeson’s interior drawings on the blog last week and now I’m obsessed with them. Today, she posted a President’s Day themed post and included a piece from Shop Ten 25. I love seeing how The Shop’s pieces are being used in out there, Thank you again Mari for including The Shop in your fabulous drawings!!!

Today I’m excited to be guest blogging for Tobi Fairley! I love her idea of creating “29 days of love” featuring here favorite accessories, design must haves and people that inspire. I have gathered two fabulous Nantucket inspired looks that are sure to inspire you. Head over to Tobi’s Blog and take a look.
Here is a sneak peek…

A great piece of artwork goes a long way when designing a room. The selection of a piece of artwork is highly personal and completely subjective but undeniably an important element in any room.
For the past several months, I’ve included the artwork of Mary Lee in the shop and I am thrilled to finally feature her in a Weekend Window post! Not only do I offer Mary’s work in the shop but I have commissioned her for multiple client projects through Studio Ten 25 as well. I can tell you that without a doubt that she is a joy to work with and a stunning artist!! Her style is abstract, organic, thoughtful, and energetic. I love using her pieces as a jolt of energy and life in rooms that are very neutral and uncluttered. Take the few pieces below for an example… Keeping your upholstery and accessories simple and monochromatic will give your artwork all the more impact! If you prefer a more layered look, try hanging one of these pieces on a striking tone-on-tone wallpaper… you’ll be surprised at the difference it makes!
Have a wonderful weekend!!

I love seeing idea boards or inspiration boards. The overall look of a room and the pieces that make it come together always come across perfectly. I was surprised to see these fabulous drawings from Mari Robeson’s blog this week and wanted to share.
I love pink and of course this Valentine’s Day inspired room screams love. She also used the White Lacquer Chest from Shop Ten 25. I think it is the perfect compliment to the soft and girly room that she has created. Head over to Mari’s blog to see the rest of the inspiration for this room.

I love the simplicity of this drawing! The bright red chair and lacquered side table are too cute! I can see this piece framed and hanging in my office, it would be a great way to bring in a pop of color!

Today is going to be another busy day around The Studio. I’m happy that Melanie Johnson and I will be inside for this project photo shoot…this cold rainy day sure is iky. Today we are photographing one of my bachelor pad projects and I spent most of the weekend putting the finishing touches on the home! Here is a sneak peek…I can’t wait to see Melanie’s images! I promise to share more later. Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

I’m being totally sappy with today’s “Weekend Window” post but I just couldn’t help myself! It’s no secret that I love the color pink and Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to take full advantage of that obsession!! In my opinion, Valentine’s Day isn’t just about pretty flowers and boxes of chocolates. I like to think it’s also about being festive and loving the moment you’re in! Red and pink decor are just part of the fun.
I recently added a fresh new batch of red and pink accent pillows to the shop and, as you can see from today’s collage, they’re absolutely adorable for anytime of the year.
Type in the words red and pink to see the entire collection of items. Happy shopping and love to you all!!
We have been in the final stages of a design project the past few weeks and I wanted to share a sneak peek. We have been busy accessorizing and trying to get this last layer of the design process complete. The clients popped in while we were setting things up and it was fun to see their faces as things were placed. I love the turquoise and orange accents throughout, they really brighten up the home. Here are a few of my favorite spaces, I usually have a favorite room but this time I can’t decide. Do you have a favorite?

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST…THE MASTER BEDROOM

Yesterday was a crazy busy day around the Studio. We photographed a client’s eclectic glam home all day and by the time I got home and unpacked, I was out of energy (check the blog tomorrow for a few sneak peeks). I sat down with my skinny cow ice cream sandwich and began to catch up on my favorite blog reads. LOWER OAK LAWN is one of my favorite local blogs and it’s fun to see what the movers and shakers around Dallas. So, imagine my happiness when I found my name on the 16-must follow Pinterest users! I am honored to be included in a list that includes many friends and fabulous bloggers. Head on over and check the list out. But I must warn you, once you get started pinning it’s hard to stop!

A good friend of mine finally remodeled her master bathroom. So, I wanted to share the before & after pictures that she sent me this weekend. I love a good before and after, don’t you?
BEFORE: She has been living with that funky corner tub and 80′s wallpaper for quite some time and it was really time for a change. We talked about color, materials and what to do about that tub. At first she thought that leaving the tub would cut cost, but in the long rug she decided to go for it.


And there it goes…one awkward corner tub outta there!

AFTER: A sleek and monochromatic bath room…and a fabulous chandelier to top it all off! I love that she used the same tile on the floor and as the wainscoting. It makes the small space feel more open and spa like. The claw foot tub is also a better use of space and instantly updates the bathroom.
