Do you ever see something in a magazine, and think “I wish I could have that”? or “I wish my house looked like that”? Well, look no further, you can have that picture in a magazine. You have to make it your own. Tear that inspiration out and find peices that are similar, they dont have to be exact. Not only that, but you can do it for a fraction of the cost, with a little bit of imagination and creativity.

Take for example this amazing dining room from Elle Decor Magazine. This is inside Keri Russels Hollywood home. It is stunning and take for example what I have pulled together. Its simple and has the same attributes of her amazing dining room. That amazing space you have aspired to have and have seen in a magazine, can be yours. Come on in and ask for my help making it a reality.

The designers here at Eheart have fallen in love with two new lines from Schnadig. River Run which is all about leather and nail heads and Cobblestone that is all about reclaimed wood and white washed finishes. They are both stunning and price point wise, you cant beat them. Schnadig has amazing pieces with great character. Its fabulous that they offer a line for every type of person and style. Come on in and talk to one of our designers about Schnadig and why it could be a great fit for your home and lifestyle.

Horses are remarkable animals, with their amazing strengths, and gentle character. Being able to use them in design is something that I love to introduce when the design allows for it. The horse symbolizes these 6 things:

• Power
• Grace
• Beauty
• Nobility
• Strength
• Freedom

They are powerful animals and they are a powerful statement in any interior application.

You might have an innate, unpleasant reaction to brass finishes on plumbing, hardware and lighting. But what about brushed gold? We’re THRILLED to see it on the design horizon, and we’re even more thrilled to be featuring a Kohler collection in our new showroom (opening soon!)

Get bold. Go gold.

Here are a couple of rooms where we see this color scheme in the works:
