Welcome Them In
The decor in any home's entry presents the first impression of our sense of style. A table with the right lamp is generally accepted as great ambiance. However, this table was relocated to a more appropriate scaled space, which made way for a new setting.
We brought a round table with iron legs to the entry space to speak to the iron details in the staircase and door trim. We then placed a much larger lamp and positioned the perfect red chair in front of larger scale art that we borrowed from another room. A beautiful silk orchid design was the perfect softener to the area and completed the inviting look.
We re purposed our client's entry table by putting it behind her sectional in the family room where it lent separation from the kitchen space. Our client's additional accessories topped the demi-lune table to add to the well lived room.
By introducing one or two new items and arranging pieces our client already had, we made a friendly, inviting place to welcome guests in.

Dave & Beth's Eco-Friendly Zoo Wedding
Your wedding doesn't have to be a zoo, unless of course it's at the zoo! Dave and Beth's eco-friendly wedding took place at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, and featured gorgeous arrangements of sustainable flowers and green plants.
The ceremony took place in the Garden of the Senses under the zoo's Skyfari. Yellow roses and green hydrangeas enhanced the chuppah and each aisle chair is adorned with baby's breath.
To finish off the night guests enjoyed a cocktail hour and reception in the Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium. The cocktail tables featured arrangements of baby's breath, while the reception tables held succulent gardens that the guests took home at the end of the night to plant and care for in their own gardens.
The bride and bridesmaid's bouquets were composed of succulents, hydrangeas, hypericum berries, ranunculus, craspedia (billy balls), and hanging amaranthus.

Room by Room: Home Office
Every bookshelf needs a soft element as well as texture changes from rough to shiny.
The main ingredients of shelf décor are color, texture, and scale. Simple larger items are easy on the eyes.

Room by Room: Coffee Table
Coffee tables need three big things to complete a story. Books are always a favorite of mine as at least one of the elements.

Room by Room: Fireplace
Mantle candlesticks and vase designs can bring balance to an asymmetrical fireplace. A tray on the ottoman brings softness and function.
