Not The Norm

October 21, 2014

I have mentioned before how deceiving homes can be. They can be built so beautifully, so exquisitely, and yet lack so much on the interior side. I am a firm believer that every space can be beautiful, but I often find that not every beautifully built space lives up to that potential. It is one

A Lovely Atlantan

October 20, 2014

It is often said that Atlanta is just like Dallas, but with a lot more trees. At the end of the week I am heading to Atlanta, so I am choosing to feature gorgeous Georgia homes on the blog all week. When I think of Atlanta, I automatically think of the beautiful boxwood house decorated by Miles

Industrial Views

October 17, 2014

While I don’t ever foresee myself having industrial windows, I do appreciate them and the aesthetic that they bring to a space. Who wouldn’t want to walk into a room of a large wall of windows with striking frames? They are architecturally significant all on their own accord. In my opinion, the key is to mix

Details in Dallas

October 16, 2014

Apologies for my absence yesterday, I have a bit much going on (the word over-extended comes to mind). Honestly, it feels like a lot is going on all around me. If you don’t live under a rock, you will know that Ebola is a hot topic in Dallas and around the world.  If you follow

N Y Chic

October 14, 2014

Do you ever have grand plans for a trip? Restaurants you must go to and places you must see? I think when you travel somewhere you can get “eyes bigger than your stomach,” and not only for fabulous food. I was constantly on the go and unable to take as many chic in NYC pictures

A NYC Townhouse With A Twist

October 8, 2014

Continuing with my NYC trend, I wanted to feature one of my favorite townhouses that was built in the 1870’s and designed by Jeffrey Bilhuber. Bilhuber is one of my favorite designers due to his creative elegance and playful approach to decor. He arranges his furniture traditionally, but adds patterns and colors that are extremely current. His

Urban Gardens

October 7, 2014

I am excited to announce that I will be going to New York City at the end of this week! It has been some time since I have been to Manhattan and I look forward to sharing my favorite design spots with you all (up to the minute updates on my instagram @thepottedboxwood). In the spirit of

Mirror Mirror

October 6, 2014

When I was a little girl, my grandmother had mirrored walls in her kitchen. I would spend hours just staring and playing in front of the mirrors (In my defense, I was an only child….). There is just something so mesmerizing about mirrors that keep people looking in them and for them. Mirrors are the

Ridder Me This

October 3, 2014

Katie Ridder knows how to make every room camera ready. Her years spent working at House & Garden and House Beautiful prepped her for an incredibly successful career as an interior designer. Her style is sophisticated and comfortable with punches of bold color, vivid patterns, and welcoming warmth. Her use of color and pattern is
