A Major Clean Up

As interior designers, we tend to accumulate a lot of stuff in the office. Whether it's tiles, spec books, inventory, or fabric, it all tends to pile up. We were drowning in fabric samples and paperwork, so it was time for a major clean up. We have always organized our fabrics into different boxes, but they were all exploding at the seams and just stacked one on top of the other. Here's how we spent a recent rainy day, and the final result courtesy of our new shelving unit.

Beautiful Pieces in Unexpected Places

Sometimes we stumble across great things in the most unexpected places. Take a look at what we have found!

Brass Table Lamp - Anthropologie

Brass Towel Ring - Urban Outfitters

Brass Floor Lamp - Urban Outfitters

Wire Magazine Rack - Urban Outfitters

Fabric of the Moment - Twill Textiles, Gooseye

We hate that it's been a while since we posted, but honestly things have been absolutely crazy! We are so thankful to be so busy, but sometimes we wish we had a little time to catch our breath.

This week and next week are extremely crazy, but nevertheless we miss blogging, so here it goes. This might even call for a new series, so here we go, "Fabric of the Moment."

At the office, we have a little half wall were we drape all of our favorite fabric memos of the moment. They stay there for a while so we can drool over them, try and place them in upcoming projects, and just get lost staring at them. One of our favorite fabrics that we are using right now though, we have found similar versions of in several places. Take a look below.

Twill Textiles - Gooseye, Frogbelly - The original love.

Antique French Linens - Twill must have based their modern weave
on an old one. We found these after the original!

Unsure of the manufacturer, but a printed version of the weave. Love!

Books for Spring

I'm pretty sure that all creatives have a love for books, and it seems like there are never enough. We use our books as a constant source for inspiration and problem solving, and love the pleasure of acquiring new ones. Here are some of our favorite books which are perfect for spring!

Bring The Outdoors In - Shane Powers

Things We Love - Kate Spade

Florence Broadhurst - Helen O'neill

Piece of the Moment - Block Dining Table

We absolutely love Baker pieces, and are often trying to find the right homes for them. Luckily, we found the perfect home for a pair of Thomas Pheasant Block Dining Tables. We cannot wait to see these in person, but I'm pretty sure our jaws are going to hit the floor. Click here for the specs.

Scott's Finds - March 2013

One of the things we love about Scott's Antique Market, is that we never know just what we are going to find. Usually, we find unexpected gems that we can't leave without, and this past trip was no exception. Take a look at what we found.

A Pair of Antique Iron Lanterns - If only we had  a home for these!

Dishware Made in Belgium - We brought home a selection of pieces.
Watch out for them in our upcoming installs.

Kravet Couture New Direction in Blanc - 7 yards for the price of 1!

Mid-Century Sofa w/ Chrome Frame - We just loved him, so we had to share!

Scott's Finds - February 2013

Here are some of our Scott's finds from earlier this month. Better late than never, right?!

This little guy made us laugh, but he sure didn't come home!

Campaign Chest - You better believe this one came home!
