Sally Steponkus
I apologize from the outset on the randomness of this post, but I've been distracted by work and planning a bachelorette party the last few weeks and have been remiss in making a few "thank you's". First off, thanks to everyone for the overwhelming response to the credenza re-do. It's so gratifying to hear such a positive response after putting in so much of my spare time and effort into spiffing it up. [Update: I've gotten a lot of questions about the wallpaper in this entryway, so I decided to go straight to the source and e-mail Steponkus Designs directly. Both Sally and Sally's design associate Heather replied and let me know that it's the Moroccan grasscloth from Phillip Jeffries' Voyage Collection. I don't know about you, but it's a new favorite for me.]
I'd also like to say thank you to Jessica Nell Graves (graphic designer and blogger behind The Love List) for including me in her newest project: The Love List Library, which is a wonderful compilation of a top-notch group of design bloggers' favorite books, movies and music. This is a great resource if you're looking for gifts for the stylish women in your life -- or even just a little new inspiration for yourself. Y
Another thank you goes out to Sarah over at Pewter + Sage for giving me the "Sunshine Award". In the spirit of paying it forward, I'd like to pass this award on to 5 "new to me" blogs that I've recently gotten hooked on:
And last, but certainly not least, back in September I did a guest post over at A 'Lil Welsh Rarebit on turning Christy's office into a guest room. Well, a few weeks ago Christy has actually turned one of my mood boards into reality (with a few much needed tweaks to work for "real life") and it looks absolutely fantastic.
I'll be back tomorrow with an update on my family room. With the Imperial Trellis pillows finished and coffee and side tables in place, it's come a long way since last fall.
Vieux Interiors – On The Move
Houston now has several great shopping destinations for antiques and decor – the Bissonnet-Kirby area is one, another is Lower West Alabama. There is also the Westheimer area, the Heights, and Ferndale. Each destination is home to many wonderful shops - after all, competition brings more customers. Lately though, the area around Upper West Alabama is the hottest destination, garnering lots of attention and traffic. It is teeming with antique and decor stores such as Indulge, Thompson-Hanson, 2620, Chateau Domingue, Pilie, and The Gray Door. Within just a few blocks along this stretch of Upper West Alabama, you can satisfy every need for the home – antiques, landscaping, bath, bedroom, architectural elements, furniture, and you can even satisfy your appetite at the trendy Tiny Boxwoods.
The latest neighbor to move in is Vieux Interiors. Last January, Vieux finally pulled up stakes from their former, God-forsaken address to move to 3701 West Alabama. I’m teasing about their former location, but honestly, I could NEVER find it!!! It was so isolated and out of the way, that I’m thrilled Vieux is now inside the loop!!! I dropped by the other day to say hi and check out their new shop. The store is large and bright with windows and doors that run along the front and back entrances. The merchandise is a wonderful collection of old and new - antiques mixed in the mid century designs and even contemporary pieces. There are also lots of accessories, things with a small enough price tag to make shopping guilt free. As usual, the staff is super friendly – DeWayne Formby might just be the absolute nicest person in the business.
The store is large, but nicely organized into smaller vignettes. This gray painted furniture section was one of my favorites.
