Tired of shopping at the same places over and over

Tired of shopping at the same places over and over again for your furniture and home decor?

Until I started designing more and more spaces for clients, I found myself in the same rut. I wanted pieces that were interesting and unique - so I did some searching and have found a few amazing retail shops where anyone (not just designers) can find beautiful pieces for their home.

Here are some of my favorite unique places to find interesting pieces that will elevate your space:
1. Had to include @boxwoodavenue.mercantile for the antiques!
2. @galerie_half has to be my top pick, just one special piece will completely transform your home.
3. @gardeshop is an amazing spot with beautiful furniture and cozy textiles.
4. @nickeykehoe not just for furniture but for the quirky accessories too!
5. @panoplieshop for the amazing accessories that bring it all together, I especially love their mirrors!
6. @trnknyc has some wonderful furniture and amazing lighting!
7. @roseuniacke is simply amazing for those ultra special furniture pieces and lighting.

Some of my other favorites are @chateausonoma, @elsie_green, @foundco.shop, @bigdaddysantiques, @lawsonfenning, @box_road, and @enebyhome!

Instagram vs reality! …Or maybe a little bit of

Instagram vs reality! …Or maybe a little bit of both sides of my reality. 😉 Sometimes it’s pretty houses and antiques and other times it’s cleaning the love shack and pony walks. A lot of the time on the same day and same outfit🙋🏼‍♀️. Wouldn’t trade it!

Wishing you a happy thanksgiving and holiday season, beyond thankful for you all. As we are all sharing our gratitude, I love seeing everyone’s stories and posts! It brings me so much joy! I am truly so grateful for you all and allowing me (and the rest of the boxwood team) the opportunity to share my sweeties 🐐 design ideas, recipes, and love of antiques! I wake up each day with excitement and look forward to the daily adventure. Thankful doesn’t cut it! 💗

A friendly reminder we have 20% off all weekend long at @boxwoodavenue.mercantile - and purchases over $500 receive a complimentary 30-minute design session with a @boxwoodavenue.interiors designer! Happy shopping! Xx

Hosting during the holidays this year? This is one

Hosting during the holidays this year? This is one of my favorite ways to make the table feel festive, and it couldn’t be more simple!

Try making infused water with fresh herbs, berries, and citrus! Cranberries & rosemary is one of my favorites, and lemon & thyme is a close second!

Tip: Try using frozen cranberries to keep the water cool!

Share this with your favorite hostess with the mostest to try at your next get-together!

Some of the design trends I am excited for looking

Some of the design trends I am excited for looking into 2023, what are some of yours?

1. Slab Backsplashes: nothing new here really, we’ve been seeing this for awhile. Still loving it and I think it will continue!

2. Delft Tiles: I’m seeing more and more old world style pattern tile, specifically delft tile. I love this “trend”, although this is more of a resurfacing of a traditional style.

3. Moody Paint Colors: I’m so happy to see rich, saturated colors everywhere! Specifically dark red and brown 😍👏 it’s a beautiful “trend”, yet again - something more traditional resurfacing.

4. Creamy Walls: We’re seeing less and less stark white, and more creamy walls. I love this trend, and my current favorite color is Alabaster by SW.

5. Contrasting Trim: you’ve probably seen this by now, but this is wonderful for more than just the “look”, it hides nicks and dings beautifully. Try Farrow & Ball’s for the perfect off-white shade.

6. Stone Sinks: I love seeing these beautiful vintage or marble stone sinks in powder bathrooms. It’s the perfect way to add charm in the smaller space. Look at @oliveateliers or @chairishco to source these.

7. Greige Cabinetry: This is a “trend” that’s been around for awhile and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. In fact, if anything - I’m seeing more saturated hues. White kitchens will always be around, but I do love the beautiful painted cabinetry we’re seeing!

8. Vintage Furniture: Nothing “new” or “trendy” about this one! Not only is this the most sustainable option, but it’s the most unique too. Remember, you can always reupholster pieces - so when looking at something vintage, look at the lines and construction.

9. Tiled Hoods: Wasn’t sure how I felt about this one, but seeing it pop up more and more, I’m loving it. I suggest options for something that is high quality (think @heathceramics or @fireclaytile), rather than zellige or a zellige lookalike.

Design inspiration from @plainenglishdesign, @handelsmannkhaw, and @atelier10.8 - all incredible design accounts you should certainly follow for amazing ideas!
