A Place for Everything: Beautiful Ways to Style Your Table

October 13th, 2014

For ages we have been coming together around a table to eat, drink and be merry. As our culture has evolved, so has the art of setting the table for entertaining. In the medieval times of kings, queens and knights, where someone sat in relation to the salt cellar on the table indicated social standing, and people brought their own spoons and knives to dinner.

October 8th, 2014

I’m always on the lookout for creative ways to sneak fun color into a client’s home.

13 Great Ways to Say Yes to Plaid

October 7th, 2014

When I hear “plaid,” my mind immediately conjures up L.L. Bean flannel shirts, Scottish tartan kilts and very traditional rooms. Plaid patterns adorn dark libraries full of leather-bound books, offices that smell of rich mahogany, hunting cabins, overstuffed sofas in country estates where cocktail hour occurs promptly at 6:00 every evening … you get the idea.

At Home With Art: Suspended Sculptures Heighten the Possibilities

October 6th, 2014

If you’ve been struggling to work your purple wall color ...

Rugs Find Their Place on the Wall

October 4th, 2014

There are many reasons to hang a rug on the wall — including the need for large art, preservation (rare rugs are for places where you do not dare to tread) and texture (there’s nothing two dimensional about a rug).

Refining the Rustic in a Log Home

October 3rd, 2014

While this ski-in, ski-out home in Steamboat, Colorado, was a great buy and had spectacular views, the owners were not particularly keen on the rustic log cabin look. Interior designer Lisa Kanning worked with them to tone down the heavy logs and make the space feel more contemporary.
