If you’ve followed us for long, you’ve probably seen us post about the travel posters we collect depicting places we’ve been. The vast majority of our travel prints come from a local Nashville business that we love - Anderson Design Group. They are a family business, local to Nashville, and have a team mentality. With over 1800 posters, calendars, books, postcards, and more, ADG truly makes beautiful art, and we loved having a conversation with them about their business!

A few weeks ago, we recorded a LIVE Q&A episode on Facebook and Instagram Live, answering YOUR questions about design basics. You can check out the video on our Facebook Page, or listen to the audio-only version on the podcast!

This is the final installment of our Design Basics Series, and it’s one of our favorite topics - ART!

We are offering six vintage digital art prints to begin with. Be sure to check them out at...

Today we’re talking about something that most anyone who is into interior design loves to talk about - accessories! Accessories are a big part of what makes YOUR home feel like YOUR style. Whether that’s books, containers, art, greenery, or fun decorative objects, accessories make a huge statement in your home. As usual, Chandler shares a few of her “rules of thumb” about accessories on this week’s episode.

Textiles are a part of home design that can often be overlooked but are incredibly important. There isn’t a simpler way to establish your design style in your home than with textiles.

This is the 3rd episode in our Design Basics Series. Like most people, we had a shoestring budget when we were just out of college and freshly married. As we’ve grown our business and worked with talented carpenter like Kyle Levy of Broken Compass Woodworking (remember episode 8?), our appreciation for the fine craftsmanship of quality furniture has really grown. We hope that this episode helps you think through your own home and how you can best invest in pieces that will last.

This is the second episode of our Design Basics Series where we are talking about the basics of designing your home. Last week we tackled lighting.

This is the first episode of our Design Basics Series. In this series we will talk about paint colors, picking furniture and layouts, textiles, art, and accessories, but our first episode of the series is on lighting. Lighting makes a huge difference in your home, but not everyone knows how large an impact simple lighting changes can make. As you’ll hear, the key to lighting is layering, and there are a lot of different ways to layer the lighting in your home.

The internet is full of beautifully-styled interiors and dreamy looking homes for us to be inspired by.
