Happy first full week of fall ya'll! It FINALLY feels more like it's supposed to and we couldn't be happier. We also couldn't be happier about an autumn-ish collaboration we've been working on this week with a group of awesome local creatives. Can't wait to share, but until then, enjoy these design fodder from around the interwebs!
We Palmer's fall home tour coming up this Sunday, but for now, here is a one we can really connect with.
Read MoreWe first met Melissa George as a customer buying succulents at our shop. We soon learned that we shared more than just a love of succulents when she told us she quit her professional day job to pursue a creative career. Melissa now runs a successful home interiors + organization blog, Polished Habitat, and even teaches others how to get into the blogging world. We recently met up with Melissa and enjoyed touring her home, seeing DIY projects we'd read about in person and talking with her about her business and home. Read our Q&A with Melissa below.
Read MoreYou guys, today is the first day of fall! Can you believe it? We can't because here in Oklahoma it still feels like summer. Thanks Oklahoma. Despite the hot temperatures, Palmer is getting into the autumn decorating spirit while Daly isn't (too overwhelming she says, which is a respectable stance). Also, a shout out to little Caroline who turns three today. Happy Birthday little girl! Now onto some of our favorite design finds from around the web this week.
Check out this mountain home tour. Can you find the chair we sighed over?
Read MoreUpholstery repair is an art form that I recently dabbled in with Janie, from our Retro Den upholstery department.
Read MoreCheers to a week of gorgeous weather, a girl named Ashley Daly celebrating another year on this earth, and to beautiful decorating imagery from around our beloved internet. Check out all the pretty below.
Y'all, let's celebrate ourselves by checking out the best decor trend from the year you were born. Thanks Lonny Mag!
This goes out to all the green lovers out there.

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.
