Hi guys!
We've been busy this week with home styling sessions, rearranging the shop and coming down from our adrenaline rush from the Alliday Show. Need a break from the crazy holiday season? We could too! Take a gander at some pretty design content we found for you this week.
We like how she made these frames! Good DIY. Also, another DIY from a fellow Oklahoman - a holiday wreath!
Read MoreWe are working out little hearts out moving furniture and preparing the shop for the Alliday Show which is happening tonight and tomorrow! Come by and see us and pick up some local gifts, support your neighbors and have a fun, festive time. Even though, we've been huffing and puffing rearranging furniture all week that didn't stop us from browsing the web for our favorite design content. Take a load off and enjoy!
We're in love with the sunny yellow bed in this bedroom and just looking around this pretty bedroom is a calming experience.
Read MoreHey hey friends! Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week? That also means our big Black Friday and Small Business Saturday sale is next week too! Everything (except our Gus* Modern pieces) will be 25% off! We only have sales like this two times a year, so don't miss out. Ok, enough of that. Now let's look at some pretty things from around the web.
We hosted some local bloggers recently, and another local Ashley wrote the nicest post about it. AND her photos of the event are so lovely. Thanks Ash!
Read MoreWe are four and a half years into this life adventure of small business owning, and we've grown very passionate about carrying locally made and handmade goods in our shop, as well as cheering on our fellow small businesses. We recently gathered some of these Tulsans to set fall tables together. A nice project for making something really beautiful–look at these gorgeous photos!–but an even more important endeavor to show what a table set with locally gathered goods represents–the time, heart, creativity, friendships, passion, hopes, and families of people you see each day. These scenes are the heartbeat of our city, the vibrancy of its people.
Read MoreThings are buzzing over here at the shop. We are making plans for Alliday, our local maker's holiday market–mark those calendars for December 8 and 9. There will be NO entry fee this year, so that's exciting. Palmer has been busy making her home feel like fall. Daly has been pondering the meaning of a minimal space and an incomplete space (I smell a blog post topic), and she's been adding some layers to her bedroom and daughter's playroom. That's it about us–hope you enjoy the pretty design things below that we found around the web for you.

At the moment of writing this, our dear friends Sarah and Adam Heatherington's Lortondale home is up for sale! We've had it on our list to take photos for a home tour, so we ran over there as soon as we heard our time was dwindling. We are so happy to share this thoughtful home with you.
We always say our clients are stylish people, but this has never been more the case than when we worked with local blogger and house renovator Emily Netz. Emily and her husband Jeff recently renovated their 1920s Tulsa home (which you can see and read about here) and Emily designed and furnished nearly every space except for her boys' room. When it came to this room, Emily felt stuck on how to create the space she had imagined in her head and wanted an extra pair (or two) of eyes to help bring it to life. We were more than happy to help!
Well, I can't believe it. Our kitchen is actually done. Done, I say! It's been so long, I'm ashamed for you to look back to see the date of the "before" kitchen post.
Okay. It was April 30th.
So that means the kitchen's been about six months in the making. Now to be completely fair, our kitchen has been functional since mid July, but the "finishing touches" took nearly as long as the bulk of the demo/installation. But whatever. It was our first renovation and we went at it without a general contractor and it's done now, so who cares if it took six months? Who's even counting, right? (I can say that now that it's over, because I did care. I was the crazy woman counting!).
The difference between minimal and unfinished decorating
I've been lying in bed thinking about this quite a lot over the past year. My life ritual is to swing from one extreme to another, then gently wander my way into middle ground. I did this with boyfriends. I did this with work. I'm doing this with my bedroom decorating, duh. So my once packed bedroom became quite a blank canvas this past year. And it's from this place, I have been contemplating the difference between minimal design and something not quite finished.
