      <image:title>Blog - Why Your Contractor Isn’t a Designer (and Why You Need Both) - In this particular project, we selected the faucet system before construction even began so our Corley Building Company team could confirm it would work with the home’s existing 1980s plumbing. It turned out—it wasn’t compatible! But because we addressed it early, we were able to collaborate with the plumber, find a solution, and keep the project moving forward—all before the homeowner ever had to worry. Now imagine if that faucet had been ordered at the last minute: the plumber arrives for installation, the parts don’t fit, and suddenly there are costly delays and unexpected expenses. Thoughtful planning upfront prevents those headaches later—and that’s exactly why we’re so intentional about every decision from the start.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Elevated Autumn: Styling a Luxe Coffee Table &amp;amp; Mantel - I worked on this room on Sunday, and I was intentional about building a foundation that can last all the way through Thanksgiving. I wanted something warm and layered, but not so specific that I’d have to completely redo it in a few weeks. The garland, the coffee table accents, and the overall color palette all give me that rich autumn feel while staying flexible. Up next? Creepy skulls, witches, and ghosts that I can layer in for October. I love that the room has a timeless fall backbone, so the Halloween details will feel like playful accents rather than a full redesign.</image:title>

      <image:caption>In our Atlanta home, this room didn’t need a lot of fuss because the star of the show was…can you guess? The window! The height and beautiful arch plus painted trim makes it stunning. Any other decor would make it seem cluttered and compete with the beauty of that window.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Case For Mismatching When It Comes To Design - Let's start off with this beautiful dining room from Katie Davis Design. First, let's imagine that I were to tell a client who wanted a lot of color that we should use turquoise chairs with a baby blue ceiling, green and yellow wallpaper, a gold lamp, red flowers in blue vases, and dark wood. They would think that I was insane! Katie is an incredible designer though, and she pulled it off.  There is so much interest and warmth in this room, and it's bursting with happiness all over the place.  In other words, it works.  It's beautiful and magnificently charming. Trust the process.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - The Case For Mismatching When It Comes To Design - This client wants a neutral room that is soft and relaxing, and I tell the client we should plop an orange couch in the middle of it. Can you imagine? BUT HERE ME OUT! Any color can become a neutral if surrounded by the right colors, textures and patterns though, and this room looks very neutral, calming, and collected. It's sort of amazing, isn't it? Trust the process.</image:title>

      <image:caption>How about modern, pink chairs in a vintage designed room? See why you might think your designer is going nuts? Nothing in this room really matches, yet it works. It's a statement room that is beautifully done mixing both vintage and modern pieces.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - The Case For Mismatching When It Comes To Design - Here’s another example of how any color can become a neutral if in the right setting. The blue couch is just what this room needs to give it some depth and interest. We are leaning far away from beige and gray homes, and this one gets it right.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Why (And How) I Mix Vintage And Modern Pieces - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>I fell in love with this tapestry, and I found one similar on Amazon for a third of the price! You can click here to take a look at it. I think when people see something like this tapestry they think it might look "grandma," so they back away from something like this. BUT, and there is a big BUT, you can make it look incredible and timeless when it's mixed with modern pieces. Most of this room is modern, but that one vintage tapestry keeps it from becoming too modern. When you travel too far in one direction (vintage or modern) you start to age your decor, and that's why mixing is so important. Mixing the different styles also gives us freedom to choose that "grandma" ottoman or tapestry or whatever it is because when we know that we will put a modern piece next to it, then it will never look like our great aunt's sweater or our grandfather's favorite blanket. Let's take a look at another example:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - One Of The Worst Window Design Mistakes (Don’t come at me!) - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>First up-roman shades. I love these just about anywhere, and you can pull them down far enough to grant some privacy, and they still add so much charm and warmth to a space. Better than blinds? Absolutely yes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - One Of The Worst Window Design Mistakes (Don’t come at me!) - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Next-cafe curtains. I have grown to really love these. They instantly add charm to any space, and they even look good closed. Plus, when they are closed they still allow light to come through, so that’s a win-win.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - One Of The Worst Window Design Mistakes (Don’t come at me!) - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>We can’t forget the wonders of drapes. Drapes elevate a space just like lighting does. We say that lighting is the jewelry of the room, and drapes are the clothes of the room. They bring texture and warmth to a space like nobody’s business. A room is just not the same without them, and these sheer drapes also provide privacy and light, so who needs blinds? Not me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - One Of The Worst Window Design Mistakes (Don’t come at me!) - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Last but not least, we can’t forget the use of both a roman shade and drapes. There is nothing quite like this to elevate a space, and they offer all the privacy you need when closed. Also, who said drapes don’t look great closed? Definitely not me.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is Sherwin Williams Pure White. Both the cabinets and walls are painted this color, so it should give you a great idea of what it can do for a space. It instantly gives a clean, fresh feeling without a hint of yellow in sight.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>What is the focal point of this room? You probably guessed the rug and ottoman, and you are correct! Although this room is not finished, it still feels like it has an anchor to it. The ottoman and rug are holding the fort down for us.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I put the dog in here as the focal point-JUST KIDDING! This room is my office, and the credenza is definitely the focal point. I didn't want the desk to be the focal point/anchor because I really don’t love this desk, but it works for now. The attention is pulled from the desk to the credenza, art, and lamps-it’s a trick of the eye (and sorry for the menacing stare of Major)!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The focal point from this angle of the den is the rug. Notice that everything else tends to be a neutral color with minimal pattern (planning on changing this a bit), but for now the rug stands out because of the pattern and color. It anchors the room!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Less Is Best: Why Negative Design Space Is Important - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Keep odd numbers in mind because that allows for some negative space. I really love styling in threes and fives because I know I will have some empty space left over, and it won’t look too cluttered. This picture has three pieces-floral arrangement, candle, and a lamp.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Less Is Best: Why Negative Design Space Is Important - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>On these shelves there sits some empty space. I intentionally left space here and there, and I made sure the decor didn’t line up from one shelf to another because then it gets to be too much matching and perfection. This may not seem like a huge change, but when there is decor clutter everywhere, it has the opposite effect that you want and feels overwhelming.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This wardrobe cabinet from Hannah Antiques was on sale for $500. I almost bought it, but I couldn’t think of a great place to put it right now. Wardrobe cabinets are extremely versatile. Repeat after me-they do not have to be used for wardrobes! I thought about using this one as a pantry in our kitchen because we don’t have a great pantry space right now, and it would add interest and warmth to an all white kitchen. I might go back and see if it’s still there.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is a 22 karat tea set that I never knew I needed. The picture doesn’t do it justice, and for only $100 you absolutely can’t beat the price. I couldn’t stop staring at it.

She had many more chandeliers, but I couldn’t get a great picture of them. I had never seen any of them before, so it was a breath of fresh air. They are huge, unique, and all beautiful. The materials were what made these so glorious-very unique!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ever since I saw Nate Berkus with an all black oil painting, I have wanted one. The way he styled it was ingenious. He put a large vase with beautiful, colorful flowers in front of it, and they looked like they were part of the art. I couldn’t believe Trisha’s had one, and it was a great size too.</image:caption>
