While I hate to see the summer season ending, I do appreciate the colors of autumn.  While running today I couldn't help but stop and take in the color and simple beauty this autumn day has to offer.  I feel blessed to live in a town with this view!  Enjoy your day!

Tri Delta Sorority

We were so excited to work with the wonderful ladies of Tri Delta and their lovely house.  We had fun creating  a new TV room with just as much character as the girls.  They already had wonderful North Carolina art which gave us a great palate to work with.  I hope the girls and you like it as much as my daughter. I have a before so you can see the difference.

Warehouse

In case you have never had time to visit our Studio and Warehouse, then you are in luck.  We recently completed our 'Spring Cleaning' of the Warehouse !  There is a wonderful selection of artwork, furniture and many exciting lamps.  We love to accessorize any space and the Warehouse has an incredible selection of accessory items.  There is enough beautiful fabric to sort through that you could get lost for hours !  Find the time to come and see us - and visit the Warehouse.

COLOR me HAPPY!!

Anyone who knows me knows I love color!  We enjoy it everyday in nature, hopefully our homes and now more than ever our food.  Share you fun photos that inspire you and enjoy these.

High Point furniture market

If I had to select a theme for the spring furniture market it would definitely be color.  I was thrilled and felt energized by all the color and fun transitional styling.  Color was everywhere in shades of pink, tangerine, green, and yellow.  The best surprise for us at M.L. Designs is BLUE, it was the star of the market, in all shades and textures.  Here are a few pictures, enjoy the color!!!

Home Roam Fun

We were delighted to have a home featured in the Junior League of Durham and Orange Counties Home Roam Tour.  This years Tour was held in the beautiful residential community of Governors Club.  While living in Hong Kong Diane and Joe Bastian built their home in 2000.  We have enjoyed working with Diane and Joe through the years and everyone loves being in their home.  The Bastian's kitchen is a 'must see' with countertops crafted from 6 foot poured concrete slabs and 5 Pewabic tiles from Michigan, a complete working pantry and commercial stove.  The kitchen is a warm and wonderful gathering place for both small and large dinner parties.  We hope you had a chance to join the Tour and we look forward to next years event.
