Vegas Baby

I had the privilege to go to Las Vegas for a furniture show. I know why companies are moving so many events to Las Vegas, including one of the largest furniture markets available to attend. The design and imagination is incredible. It is true inspiring to me. Every inch of every space has been thought out. The colors are vivid and bold, light fixtures over scaled and immaculate. As a designer, its one of the coolest places to visit.

Below is the Parasol bar. You sit on plush red upholstery. The cocktail waitresses bring you tomato potato chips (that's hard to say) but they are delicious to eat. The ceilings are stenciled and illuminated to showcase beautiful chandeliers. Nestled by thick rich striped draperies you feel so separated from the hustle around you. I believe every home can have a touch of glamour and this look can be recreated in many places, at a price that is in most budgets!

Check out this statue, WOW. I love the human form first and the idea of mother nature intertwining with the human body seems so sexy to me. Surrounded by red, when in this space you feel power, love, endless emotions that you yearn to keep feeling.
Think about adding a harlequin wall to your home. Stencils can be created in 2-D or 3-D effects. You can add decorative tacks to each intersection. Think swarovski crystals on the intersections in pink for a little girls "princess" room.

When you come down this escalator the ceiling is full of different shape parasols the walls are tiled in intricate mosaic patterns, as well as the floors. Also on the ceiling are appliques of an array of flowers that lead your eye to the next mystical and amazing space.

This was one of my favorite chandeliers. Wrapped in silk fabric mixed with metal accents, illuminated by glass decor. So fine!

And then... a whole entire space decorated like a chandelier! Everywhere you look its dipping in glass beads. I literally ate lunch inside a chandelier.

Last but not least... how I spent my afternoon before I had to get on the plane. Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton you know just how to make a girl happy!

Remember what happens in Vegas... stays in Vegas ;)

Off Shopping we go

Deborah and I hit up a quick trip to Market. We went with the mindset of not buying too much just finding some really good fillers for the showroom. Boy oh boy, we shopped until we literally dropped. I have been attending markets for the past 12 years and I think this market was one of the best I have been to. Everything was awesome. The feeling at market was positive and exciting. We found so many fantastic things and we are so excited to share a few of the pictures with you. Items have already started shipping so swing in and see all the new designs.

Entertainment Center custom made for your space. Pick your finish and size. One of the finishes you can pick from is actual pages from the Bible veneered into a stunning finish.

Wouldn't you feel like a princess in this bed? Its huge!

We took on a new line of heavy wrought iron designs. The company specializes in over scaled and magnificent home decor. This is just a taste of one of the items we purchased for kitchen islands.

Chandeliers are my obsession right now. We purchase many unique and unusual chandeliers for our showroom. Our goal is to have them hanging in every vignette. If you are looking for a not your everyday chandelier, Brown Interiors is the place to be.

Artwork. Yes please! Tons of big never seen before pieces are flooding our walls.

Any entry bench to live for. Antique wood planks, burlap upholstery and metal wheels. I can see this piece in any ones home.
Turquoise is such a rich color and it looks even richer when on printed crocodile leather. Paired with a black leather seat and wood finish. The back of the chair has red, turquoise and cream flame stitching. Popped by silver nail head studs. Ahhhhh.
Step out on the wild side and touch this ultra soft zebra occasional chair. Perfect in an entry, study or family room. This fantastic chair prices out under $900!!

We both fell in love with this shabby chic breakfast table. Distressed wood top with teal church pew legs. We mixed and matched chairs to work with this table creating an original setting. Can't wait to have this little group on the showroom floor.

My team is still smiling at the end of the day.... guess I hadn't worn them out at this point.

LOVE BIG DESIGNS

These two sisters have it going on! I love giving shout outs to women out there making it. They create handmade original canvas art, that is in my opinion very cute. While at market we stepped over into the 'cash n carry' section and found them cranking out canvases; and people were snatching them up as fast as they could make them. Even through all the hussle of market the sisters stopped and made us a personal sign for our shopping center. Its an inside joke for us, but still fun to share.

Sally married Jack!

We have a personal celebration to share with you today. Jean's daughter Sally got married to Jack this past weekend. It was an intimate celebration in Decatur, TX at a small Baptist Church where the attendence sign said 26! Sally and Jack are both finishing their education at Texas A&M and then will be moving to Greenwood where they will make their home. We wish them much love and happiness.

Meet Sally and Jack

Our Jean and her husband Art, parents to the bride.

Deborah and Jody so happy for them.

Stunning alter decor provided by Brown Interiors. Side note this piece looks great on entry tables and dining room tables as well.

REMODEL UPDATE!

We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience but Brown Interiors will be closed Friday January 5th and Saturday January 6th for remodeling. Check back soon for new pictures of the shop!

Updating a staircase?

Easy Do-It-Yourself way to update a staircase.

I am always looking for new and original ideas to make your home, just that your home. I came across a website to share with you. Each riser is made out of 1/4 -inch-thick maple, the pieces are cut to fit and then can be nailed or glued to your stairs. If you have old carpet, scuffed up wood or just want to up date......think of the possibilities!
