Tips For A Fruitful Indoor Garden
Spring has officially sprung and if you need us, we'll be in our garden! But not all of us are lucky enough to have the space for a lush garden.

But not to worry, we have some tips for how you can still enjoy your home grown herbs and produce without stepping foot into the great outdoors.

72 hours in Charleston
We did it! We got the heck out of town for a much needed change of scenery. We took the whole family to beautiful Downtown Charleston for some sun, beach, gardens and all around a good time. This was our first time hitting this picturesque southern city and we will for sure be going back sans kids so we can experiences all the night life this Holy City has to offer. But while we were there, we did get to experience some beautiful scenery, sandy coastlines, yummy food and of course great shopping.Here are our must see spots in Downtown Charleston!
What We're Working On Right Now
Before COVID, we were cranking out client installations left and right. But now that the world has slowed down, that goes for the design world as well. If any of you have tried ordering furniture in the last year or so, you'd know that it takes about a year or so to actually ship out. Same goes for us designers. Thankfully for us, our clients are the best and understand the hold up is out of our hands and that once products are available to us, we will give them the home of their dreams. But in the meantime, we just have to drool over our mood boards. So we thought it'd be fun to give you guys an inside look into a kitchen remodel we are working on currently and how it looks from a client perspective to work with us!

What We're Loving From The New Studio McGee Collection At Target
It's no secret that designers are constantly inspiring peers with their work and designs. One of our all-time favorite designers are the geniuses behind Studio McGee and McGee and Co. In case you have not heard of them, Studio McGee was founded by a husband and wife team, Shea and Syd McGee. They worked their tails off and grew to the point where they have a massive design team, clients all across the country, their own retail stores, a series on Netflix, and now an ongoing collection at our second home, Target. Their Spring collection dropped earlier this week, and while lots of items are sold out already online, they're still trickling into stores as we speak. We've also heard that some items will be restocked online. We're sharing what we're loving, and will hopefully be adding to our shopping carts from the newest collection!
