Cantoni in Midtown

Cantoni- my new FAV place!!

They have a stunning collection of modern furnishings. This weekend I was there meeting a client, and fell in love. Everywhere you turn are the coolest furnishings with the neatest accessories. They have locations all over the country: Dallas, Houston, LA, Irvine & Atlanta. Check them out! I will definitely be going back.

Sidenote: I love posting about fun, unique furniture shops because I am discovering hidden treasures all over Atlanta. I want to share these great places with you in case you are looking for something similar or if you can find some inspiration!

Westside Design District

Happy Friday!!

As I was out shopping for a client, I stumbled upon a cute little furniture store on the Westside, Direct Furniture Atlanta. They offer contemporary, mid-century modern and transitional furniture. Their pieces are unique from local artisans & very reasonably priced. They work with designers and I was able to find just the right side table for my client. I will definitely be going back on Saturday!

Client Update- Design Plan

I am back from such a great time in NYC this weekend & back to work!! I have been working on putting together the furnishings, fabrics, lighting, flooring and existing side table on paper. This design plan allows my client to see the design details of the space & get a feel for how things are coming together. We are still working on a new side table, artwork and pillows. 

Weekend trip to NYC!

Happy Thursday! This post isn't really 'interior design' related, but more inspirational! I will be flying out to NYC for the weekend in just a few short hours & I'm staying at the Hilton Times Square. Yay! I will be snapping pics left & right and posting soon. I am hoping to capture a few great design inspirations while I'm there. I will be back to blogging on Monday. But in the meantime our weekend plans:

Times Square

Broadway- Rock of Ages

Central Park

Train to Philly

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Contemporary Comfy!

Happy Friday! I am back to blogging on a regular basis after being away on our beach vaca! Here is an update on what's going on at C. Joyner Interiors.

Client Profile: Cute couple, married 40 years. They live in a condo in Buckhead with their 2 cats. They are very contemporary comfy! We are working on turning their formal sitting room into a comfy, entertainment space for great conversations. Check out a sneak peak into what's going on so far...

What's new in rugs this Summer?

Introducing Tremor... A new rug product from Merida Meridian coming this Summer. It has an organic sense of movement and subtle pops of color. This pattern is an elegant take on the classic Ombre pattern. Wool & linen. Very cool for the summer. Trend Alert! These are some of the NEW things we are seeing in rugs!

Shout Out

Happy Wednesday!! I have been SO busy this week getting ready for the beach & working on client projects, I haven't been doing my blogging due dilegence. I have been meaning to post this lovely 'Shout Out' from one of my fabulous clients, but the days keep getting away from me. C. Joyner Interiors was featured, a few days ago, so check it out. Thanks Nicole!

Boy Meets Girl: Merging Styles

     It's a Sunday night and I am watching my boyfriend pack up his things to fly out in the morning for the work week. I should probably wait & blog later, but I'm so excited about this blog... I couldn't wait. Speaking of the bf, I have been working with a wonderful couple the past few months and I wanted to share our progress so far. They have been such a pleasure to work with & I love seeing all the changes week by week.

     A few years ago, as a designer with Ethan Allen, I designed Hunter's living room. At the time, I transformed a drab & bland space into a swank bachelor pad using a cognac leather sectional, sage green walls, textural fabrics, rattan dining chairs, charcoal black furniture and metallic accessories. And now... it is on it's way to feeling more like a home for both Hunter & Nicole. We've added colorful fabrics, neat lighting, a fresh wall color, a lattice patterned dining room rug, framed photography & fun accessories. Check it out so far! I can't wait to post more pics :)

High Point Market 2012

I am back from High Point, NC and I loved my experience! I was there for a short 2 days, but we packed in each day to the max in order to see as much as possible. Here is just a sneak peek of some of the home furnishings that caught my eye. There were so many great lines of accessories, lighting, artwork, rugs and furniture. Hope you enjoy!

Shades of Gray

Ok, I was meaning to start a 6 day Color Story post today, but I got a little off track. So, I will get to that next week instead. This weekend I painted my bedroom, and because I am so excited about the progress.... I had to share!! I will definitely be posting more pictures as soon as I add everything back into the room.



Ok, there is still LOTS to do, but these are my new BM, Chelsea Gray walls. It's actually Chelsea Gray, lightened 25%, but this picture was taken at night, so it looks darker.

This is a more realistic picture of what the walls actually look like. Loving it!!
