Find unique items for your home

As a designer I love to find unique and interesting pieces to use for clients, family, friends and myself! We have all heard about design styles – pottery Barn style, country, modern, transitional, traditional, French country and so on. Using unique pieces can make your style and your home stand out! One of the best places to find reasonably priced and unique items is at antique malls. Antique malls have a variety of dealers who rent a space in a larger retail space. This allows for a wide variety of items to be found in the one store. One of the best in the Atlanta area is The Queen of Hearts. I would be remiss to not be upfront that I do have a have a space in the Alpharetta store and I am still amazed at the wonderful and unique products I see (and some times purchase!!) every time I update my space. The prices are very reasonable as well. So next time you are ready for a quick boost to your home check out an antique mall….maybe I will see you there!!

Photos on Canvas

So today I ordered a photo on canvas...... Which got me thinking...... I do not use typical artwork in my own home and I love to find unique items and unique ways to use them. This is such a great way to use photos you love and there are so many ways to use this art form. You could also use this format for old family photos, current family photos, pets, kids, the beach, the mountains, honeymoon, travel, they can use any picture!!! It can be done in color, sepia or black and white. Custom sizes can be made, colored edges or trim, and editing can be provided as well. With all of the choices everyone can find options they will love. Just search online to find many companies who provide this service at reasonable prices. Personally my picture is of my three dogs and I can't wait to see how it turns out!! If I can help you with your own personal art or other design dilemmas, please contact me!!
