If you follow me on Instagram you saw my announcement that my fall pillow collection released early and is up on Wayfair! I am really excited about these additions to the current collection as they are PERFECT for fall decorating on a budget! I know a lot of the velvet ones have sold out already but they ARE restocking ASAP so put your email in to get notification when they are back in and ready to ship! Dimenisons are missing online right so the square pillows are 22″ (about 20″ when stuffed) and the lumbar is 14″ x 24″ (slightly smaller when stuffed also).

Loving this rich orange for fall… it’s the perfect shade- not too “burnt” and not too bright.

I still can’t believe the level of detail on these pillows for the price. The velvet has linen applique border (looks So expensive) and the more graphic one has two layers of applique trim.

Agean Key Collection: I mean, these look like $200 pillows for $48 a pop for the large squares! I am OBSESSED with them. (Again, they are coming back in stock so just sign up for notifications).

This grouping is particularly pretty- the Agean Key, Pavilion velvet lumbar, Ikat Stripe and the thick, woven Angier diamond.

Again, in a smaller grouping. I’d do the diamond and velvet on a sofa and the lumbar on a chair.

The morel colorway is awesome- grey-brown that really mixes well with the orange and fig but also is great paired with neutrals like linen and stone.

The Pavilion Collection is velvet cut and appliqued onto linen blend pillows.

The Tangier Collection– a thickly woven diamond pattern with tons of texture. Easy to mix with tons of other patterns.

The Herringbone is another thick woven that is fabulous of mixing with florals or solids.

SHOP THE COLLECTION!

I cannot believe how fast the 4th snuck up on us!  We’re venturing off to Maine for it and I’m trying to get myself prepared packing wise- here are some goodies I’ve had my eye on perfect for celebrating summer.  From classic stripes and gingham to perfect white sundresses and sandals. Click on the images for links!

I’m really proud and excited to show you guys our new digs! Ever since I started my business I dreamed of having a “shop” with pretty little topiaries out front and this may be as close as I get!!!  I don’t have the bandwidth to do actual retail, but the flexibility of this space allows me to display some items I do have and create pop-up shop concepts with brands and artists I love (and stuff I myself have designed!) So without further delay, here it is!

The space is below street level but actually gets decent light! I found it to be a good fit because we don’t need foot traffic but I did want to be in a busier location with the ability to be found easily by clients (and potential clients), PLUS the rent was about half or less than a street-level shop.  So we have a big wall of glass at the front with a stone retaining wall outside (it could be worse!) It’s actually kinda cool looking!  I wanted the space to be serene and a great mix of traditional and modern with a pop of color.

We had to completely gut the space, but left the exposed beam ceiling and brick walls.  I had my painter, Peter from Adelfia Painting, spray the entire place top to bottom with Sherwin Williams Greek Villa and it is the perfect white- not too bright, not too creamy. I absolutely love it. He also painted the metal frames of my windows Sherwin’s Iron Ore to make them looks like old iron frames.  For flooring I found this amazing, tough wearing vinyl plank from Lowes that had that pale oak coloring I love.  It gave me the perfect neutral, light backdrop I was hoping for with lots of texture.

People ask me often “how do you do all that is on your plate?” And the answer is- I don’t know and sometimes, I fail miserably at it! Like today- I thought I would have time to post WHILE photographing our new office BUT I am currently busy holding up hardware for a shot because I did not have time to install it yet.  Basically, I’m a hot mess. Where do all the hours in my day go?  #whereserin #peekaboo #photoshopmagic

I’ll post this afternoon or tomorrow morning instead- promise :)

Life has been a little crazy as of late, and its left me with zero time this morning to blog (also I’m on a train right now and feeling a little woozy from looking at the screen). I’m sorry guys, I’ve gotta use a “get out of jail free” card today for a big post.  I’ll be back Wednesday, promise. :)

Thanks,  EG

P.S. Since I’m having a “Calgon take me away” moment, I’ll leave you with these images of Darryl Carter’s master bathroom which is downright insane.

(Because now I see why ALL showers need marble horse statues in them….duh.)
