Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! I hope you all had a beautiful holiday with those you love most. If you're like me, you are all enjoying some time off, visiting with family, over-eating, and spending lots of time on the sofa watching movies (or, eh, online shopping).<br />
<br />
My personal family tradition is to decorate my house for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. We're all home and it just feels like a good day to pull out the decorations and enjoy being together. :) The <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank">High Street Market </a>studio, on the other hand, is a different story. I held out as long as possible with the Christmas decorations in the
studio-- I try not to overshadow Thanksgiving, but it's very difficult in
this business <i>(and Christmas seems to creep it's way into the year earlier and earlier-- I think I spotted Christmas decor before Halloween this year-- what the heck is happening???). </i> If you follow the store on Instagram (find us <a href="https://www.instagram.com/highstreetmarket/" target="_blank">@highstreetmarket</a>) you'll know that about a week ago, I gave in and decorated the entire High Street Market studio for the Christmas Season. We posted some behind the scenes videos on InstaStories, but the gist of it is this: 200 feet of cedar garland, red berries, magnolia branches, and plaid stockings. Lots of jolly goodness. We are officially in the holiday spirit over there.<br />
<br />
Given that fact that I brought home half the nursery in evergreen, and our team was eager to get the studio in the holiday spirit, we came up with three different holiday looks that will hopefully inspire YOU to deck the halls of your own home. And, whether your decorating mantra is "more is more" or you prefer a more minimalist approach <i>(or, you just want to change things up from last year!)</i> I think there's something here for everybody. I'm calling these looks "The New Trad", "The Modern Rustic", and "The Minimalist". :) <br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, there's "The New Trad"...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Yk_j_FiHTE/WDuehzxMXPI/AAAAAAAAR8Q/a0gpXbG2BbAVZxF55R1_e9rhp_yUuxZOwCLcB/s1600/736x1104-newtrad-revised.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0Yk_j_FiHTE/WDuehzxMXPI/AAAAAAAAR8Q/a0gpXbG2BbAVZxF55R1_e9rhp_yUuxZOwCLcB/s1600/736x1104-newtrad-revised.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"The New Trad" loves a classic Christmas, but you aren't stuffy and you want to avoid being predictable. I love this fresh spin on a classic look. We paired an antique Federalist mirror with fresh greenery, hits of brass, and plenty of red plaid <i>(a classic).</i> To start, double up on the garland, going back and forth (in this case, more actually <i>is </i>more-- we used about 25 feet). Wrap the garland with twinkle lights and finish with pine cones, tucked here and there. We had a vintage pair of brass reindeer that looked pretty badass flanking the mirror <i>(we couldn't pass that up)</i>, but you can get the look with any shiny accent. Try using a pair of small brass planters with red Poinsettia, or even tall glass hurricanes with candles. Finish with a traditional set of fireplace accessories and your favorite red plaid stockings <i>(<a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/search?q=stocking" target="_blank">these</a> are from our store and we are obsessed).</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G8--UzTo_zM/WD2ju-Wr0jI/AAAAAAAAR9I/L8W42knQgDodDJuQdQpRLxJ-Tg_8CBNXgCLcB/s1600/matelgifv4.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G8--UzTo_zM/WD2ju-Wr0jI/AAAAAAAAR9I/L8W42knQgDodDJuQdQpRLxJ-Tg_8CBNXgCLcB/s640/matelgifv4.gif" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(here's the whole process, step by step!) :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next is "The Minimalist"...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I4mIl6nJ1PI/WDueo2FKG6I/AAAAAAAAR8U/ELOs2cBx5Kk1v10U_KHeYRJ4JNF1hpF4gCLcB/s1600/736x1104-minimalist-revised2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I4mIl6nJ1PI/WDueo2FKG6I/AAAAAAAAR8U/ELOs2cBx5Kk1v10U_KHeYRJ4JNF1hpF4gCLcB/s1600/736x1104-minimalist-revised2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
"The Minimalist" loves simplicity and hates clutter. That can be tricky when you're decorating for the holidays, but we think we achieved the perfect balance. I have to tell you that this look is GORGEOUS in person <i>(the camera really doesn't do it justice).</i> A natural evergreen wreath is minimally decorated with a 3" white bow. I think the oversized scale of the ribbon is chic, but you could easily drop the bow and go au naturale, if you prefer. We used white glass hurricanes as lanterns on the mantle. To add interest, we incorporated pine cones and silver ball ornaments. Instead of garland, we used a simple ribbon with hanging glass ornaments. The whole look is very light and clean, while still feeling dressy and done.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, "The Modern Rustic"...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W6rdn1CZaBA/WDuexgzKBzI/AAAAAAAAR8Y/n-vWC7WmkksbDanGEOEgy1aVgztDK73vwCLcB/s1600/736x1104-rustic-revised.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W6rdn1CZaBA/WDuexgzKBzI/AAAAAAAAR8Y/n-vWC7WmkksbDanGEOEgy1aVgztDK73vwCLcB/s1600/736x1104-rustic-revised.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
"The Modern Rustic" is easy going and a little homespun. You keep things simple but you're a little edgy/urban. I actually really like this look for a city apartment or industrial space <i>(it works, right?).</i> To decorate the mantle, we stayed away from traditional greenery and went with a combination of large leaves and small leaves-- in this case, beautiful magnolia and eucalyptus. I love the mix of scale and texture. Instead of wrapping the twinkle lights, we casually swagged them. Nothing needs to be perfect, the messier the better in some cases. We added interest with white shed antlers paired with a vintage wall-mounted rack. Keep the color scheme minimal. We added a small Pointsettia in a modern planter and I think that is enough. A jute basket filled with cozy knit blankets finishes off the look.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
So, what's your favorite style? I started this exercise loving "The New Trad" but finished without a true favorite. I hope this helps inspire you to decorate your home for the holidays! Even if you don't have a fireplace mantle, find a console table or chest of drawers and decorate that! Simple and fun.<br />

I thought I would share a little "Before & After" today, since we just completed this photoshoot on Friday. :) And, because everyone loves a good "Before & After," here we go... This one is a good one!<br />
<br />
Our clients wanted to transform their un-used and neglected dining space adjacent to their kitchen. Since nearly every family meal was shared at the kitchen island <i>(or the formal dining room)</i>, this room became a wasted space. And, this modern family needed a comfortable spot to just sit and chill. A place off of the busy kitchen to enjoy a cup of coffee and "watch the snow fall" <i>(her words during our wintertime meeting, and such a lovely thought!).</i> Therefore, we set out to create a light and bright sunroom full of cozy upholstery, bleached wood finishes, and interesting texture. <br />
<br />

To add architectural interest to this room, we had our contractor install 4" wood planks on the ceiling and we painted them a bright white. The walls were painted Farrow & Ball "James White" <i>(my favorite go-to cream paint)</i>, and we used an enormous <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/products/wales-wool-flatweave-rug-grey" target="_blank">flat weave wool rug</a> to make the room feel bigger and brighter. Our sofa is slipcovered in a beautiful flax cotton/linen which is washable and very family friendly. We stayed away from the typical sunroom wicker furniture and brought in these<a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/blake-grey-wash-chair-with-fabric-cushion/s635929" target="_blank"> modern woven side chairs</a>. The deep seats and bright white cushions make the room feel fresh and summer-y. The coffee table has a simple shape and we LOVED the bleached wood herringbone top. </div>

We mixed in a variety of textures in monochromatic shades.

This dining room became a sunroom and it works. </div>

Find us at highstreetHome). </i>It's an old stone Colonial house that is getting a head-to-toe makeover, including an addition and a newly configured floorplan. A lot of exciting installations will be happening this summer, so stay tuned for loads of awesome before & after pictures.<br />
<br />
Our clients have great taste. So, when they showed us images from Brett Heyman's Connecticut home <i>(featured in <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/mark-cunningham-designed-heyman-connecticut-home-slideshow" target="_blank">Architectural Digest</a> and most recently on <a href="https://www.onekingslane.com/sales/68160?SSAID=687298&utm_medium=Affiliates&utm_source=Shareasale&utm_term=354787&utm_content=687298" target="_blank">One King's Lane</a>)</i>, we got really excited. Designed by super talented interior designer,<a href="http://markcunninghaminc.com/" target="_blank"> Mark Cunningham</a>, this awesome house has it all. Layers of texture and saturated color, modern art mixed with classic antiques-- these rooms are speaking our love language. Take a look...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
This past week/weekend, Dave and I both left town and went
on a buying trip for <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank">High Street Market</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
the first time I had EVER left my children, which was a crazy feeling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, they were in good hands with my
parents and, truthfully, it was soooo nice to get away (hello, SLEEP).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before kids (BK), we loved taking road
trips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Living on the East Coast allows
you to do fun things like that-- every couple of hours you’re in a new amazing
city. But, after kids (AK), traveling is an obvious challenge. So, getting on the road was really
invigorating and it brought back fun memories for both us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s hard to believe but Dave and I have been in this
business TOGETHER for almost eight years now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Over those years, we’ve made some really good relationships with antique
dealers and craftsmen all across the country.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> A lot of these folks specialize in "house clean outs" where they buy the contents of an estate and sell it off to people like us. So, we never know what kind of treasures they'll have available. Dave's been doing most of the buying (AK), so I was thrilled to tag along and shop. Also, we coordinated our trip to overlap with High Point Market and we were able to schedule a lot of awesome meetings down there. And, we SHOPPED. </div>

If we had a larger car, I would have purchased a couple of these gorgeous green dressers. The worn finishes were perfection. Honestly, I was a little surprised how interested I was in "distressed" pieces on this trip. Not my usual thing. But, for some reason, I was digging the worn out, farmy, countrified, rustic finds. Now, I just need a farmhouse to furnish... :)<br />

Today, I thought I would share a little "before & after" action. We bought these vintage chairs a long time ago and only recently pulled them out of storage. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Even in the "before" pics, you can see the fabulous lines and classic silhouette. The solid wood frames were painted black at some point in their lifetime. But, I have to say, the way the finish has worn and weathered over the years has created the most PERFECT look. I don't think we could have replicated this worn matte finish if we tried. Both chairs needed new filling, and the old yellow chenille left much to be desired. So, off to the upholsterer they went. <br />
<br />
In regards to upholstery, we chose a <a href="http://parlortextiles.com/idf_red" target="_blank">Parlor Textiles floral print </a>that we've used before. It's a hardy cotton blend that upholsters beautifully. Plus, it has a chic border that we knew would look tremendous on the arm.<br />

We had a mini installation at a client's home last week. So, I thought I would share a quick "before & after" post today. Because, everyone loves a little "before & after"...<br />
<br />
One of our longtime clients wanted to transform the breakfast room off their kitchen. We envisioned a sleek space with LOADS of seating. A place that felt comfortable enough for casual breakfasts, yet tailored enough for semi-formal dinners. The style of the room had to coordinate with the vibe that was happening in the rest of the house. So, we kept the colors simple: different shades of grey, cream and white, with a dark contrast of ebony wood. <br />
<br />
The breakfast room itself features windows on three sides and a vaulted ceiling. So it's about the most cheerful place you can imagine. In the winter, I can imagine sitting here and sipping coffee while the snow falls... In the summer, it's the perfect place to sit with open windows and a warm breeze. :)<br />

We selected a heathered grey upholstery fabric that would wear well for this busy family. The finish on the custom table would be a weathered ebony wood. Double x-base pedestals would anchor the table and create visual interest.<br />

Such a gorgeous space! Even though this shot is virtually unstyled<i> (and "professionally" taken with my iPhone)</i>, you can see that this breakfast room design is complete. It suits this young hip family and feels right with the rest of the house. That modern light fixture from <a href="https://www.rhmodern.com/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod6430291&categoryId=cat7140185" target="_blank">RH Modern</a> adds just the right amount of sparkle without taking anything away from the amazing view outdoors. The <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/collections/rugs-textiles/products/heathered-sisal-rug" target="_blank">heathered sisal rug</a> hides EVERYTHING and it brings such beautiful texture and warmth to the room. I love how this space turned out. Our first installation of 2016-- not a bad way to start the year. :)<br />

<br />
Happy New Year! I am back on the blog after taking a nice looooong 8 month hiatus. And, if you've followed along over the years, you know that I love a NEW YEAR. Not only does it feel like a fresh start <i>(typical goal setting, clean slate, etc.)</i>, it's also such a nice time to get sappy and reflect on life. So, what better time to resume writing and updating the blog. I've missed having a place to share design projects, inspiration, current home renovations <i>(there are so many)</i>, and other fun tidbits of the Internet rabbit hole. While Instagram feels like the new blog <i>(do you feel that way? so many of my favorite bloggers have dropped their blogs and gone to Instagram)</i>, I feel like I still need a place to go and write about my favorite things, current projects, DIYs, etc. So, I'm back to blogging. <br />
<br />
In the past 7 months, a lot has happened. First off, I had a baby
girl. Her name is June Marie and she is a precious precious little
thing. Her big brother William (who is now 2!) adores her. Dave and I
are loving our little family of four and enjoying all the things that
come with it. So much love there. :) <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />Other stuff that is happening: High Street Market is growing and expanding. It's hard to believe that this blog started a whopping 7 years ago. Back then, <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank">High Street Market</a> was a little Etsy business that Dave and I were managing in our free time. It started with a love of design and fascination with antique and vintage pieces. We shopped until we dropped<i> (in some cases, literally),</i> posted our finds and sold them to chic customers around the world. Fast forward to 2016... our website has grown, we have our own product line and our own studio space, and we have a list of goals we want to accomplish this year. Our 1890s home renovation is still "in progress" <i>(always)</i> and we are parenting two little kiddos. So, lots of things. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Another thing happening this year: my design business is changing a bit. Kelly G. Robson Design is becoming High Street HOME DESIGN. I'm excited about this for so many reasons. It means that we are hiring more people, adding designers to our team, and offering more services to our customers and clients <i>(interior design, furnishings, construction specification, and bid management)</i>. We'll launch our website this year and continue to take on more projects <i>(in the Philadelphia area and beyond). </i>I look forward to sharing a lot of those updates here. <br />

<br />
<br />
I'm also thinking that 2016 is the year for a SERIOUS blog makeover. This page needs a bit of a facelift, to say the least. Stay tuned for that.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then, let's link up on the interwebs -- </div>

Since finishing this project, the client has become a very close friend of mine. And every time I visit, I feel like she needs to kick me out because I want to stay forever. Every room is comfortable and welcoming, while still feeling polished and put together. It was important that the furniture be functional for a young family. Yet, it needed to be sleek enough to entertain. I'm very happy with the way the space turned out-- it reflects the style of the family that lives there. And even years later, it still looks terrific when you walk through the door. <br />
<br />
Photographing the completed spaces was LONG overdue. But after a very busy day of shooting, we came back to the office with some great shots. Since everyone loves a good "before & after," I thought I would share some of the pictures with you today...<br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
living room, after.</div>
<br />
The living room had a unique configuration that presented a challenging layout. But, when we placed the television over the fireplace, we were able to balance the space, add plenty of unique seating, and create a more organized flow throughout the room. The pair of ottomans double as extra seats when entertaining. The Baker parlor chairs (which the client already owned) complement the pair of antique Jean-Michel Frank chairs that we found in a local antique shop (we had the caning restored and they are still some of my favorite vintage finds to date). The leopard upholstery mixed with Peter Dunham "fig leaf" is great. And, I love the mix of unlacquered brass...<br />

And as of last night, the new look is LIVE! Finally! I hope you guys like it as much as we do. The new layout is cleaner and brighter and easier to navigate. We've incorporated a ton of new features to make shopping a whole lot more fun. And, our mobile shopping experience is easier too (which was so important!). <br />
<br />
To celebrate the big reveal, we're hosting a huge sale-- online<i> and</i> in store!! Take <b>20% OFF</b> all orders starting today 4/17 and ending at midnight on Monday 4/20. If you follow us regularly, you know we don't really host sales very often (only during the holidays, mostly). So, this is kind of a big deal for us. This weekend's sale is STOREWIDE and that includes furniture (although, it excludes lighting). Just use code: <b>NEWLOOK</b><br />

Like I mentioned yesterday, the <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank">online store</a> is currently getting nipped and tucked, and she's starting to look pretty good. :) What do you think? It's still technically "under construction" but the overall look is bigger, brighter, and more organized. The navigation is easier, the pictures are better, and the new platform will allow us to perform better for our customers (think new promotions and sales). There are a ton of new features (that we've worked so hard on incorporating)... I can't wait to launch this baby this month. It's been a lot of late nights and overtime for work for us. So, we're pretty excited about it.<br />
<br />
Here's a screen shot-- things might change between now and the actual launch, but I'm loving the progress so far.<br />

We've been really busy in<a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank"> the store</a> this last month. So many new products have arrived for spring, and we are prepping for two exciting events happening in April. :) First and foremost, we are in the midst of totally redesigning our online store. It's been waaaaaay too long since the site had a facelift, so we've been working hard to incorporate some great new features <i>(hopefully, to make shopping a lot easier and more fun for our customers!)</i>. It's involved a lot of late nights, so I'm pretty excited about launching the new look <i>(yay!).</i> The second thing happening: we will be hosting some in-store events during the second half of the month. Lots of vintage sales and in-store sales. We'll have refreshments (wine) and a "Girls Day Out" event (sale, desserts, and more wine). It should be fun. So, stay tuned for news on that, and if you're in the area, please stop in and say hi!<br />
<br />
For now, here are some recent pics of the store and some of our new products...<br />

Do you feel like that too? March gets here and we are blessed with a handful of warm days, and all I can think about is gardening. I wish I could get out there and start digging up plants and putting down brick pavers, like I've done in years past... but, my enormously growing belly is telling me that strenuous gardening ain't gonna happen this year. With a baby due in May, I think the majority of my "gardening" may be regulated to Pinterest. We've done SO MUCH over the years, and our yard is still a disaster and nowhere near finished. I'm okay with that though. You can't do everything, I realize this. But, I would love to finish it someday before I die. <br />
<br />
For now, here are some gardening ideas that are totally inspiring me this year-- and maybe they will inspire you too. Please indulge me...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JkxmSEjwLWQ/VQsOs1HTZTI/AAAAAAAARUs/1B1vf3Gfag8/s1600/4acc71050aa160548dd29e8fc333af5a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JkxmSEjwLWQ/VQsOs1HTZTI/AAAAAAAARUs/1B1vf3Gfag8/s1600/4acc71050aa160548dd29e8fc333af5a.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
This precious picket fence has my heart a flutter. A few years ago, I'm not sure I would have swayed this way. But, time has changed me. Our backyard is pretty big, so I would love to enclose half of it between the carriage house and the backdoor. Not for privacy, but something to contain the children and maybe a dog someday<i> (did I just say "dog"? These days, I can hardly keep my head on straight and I'm thinking about a dog? Yes, let's get a dog.).</i> This simple yet classic picket fence is my inspiration. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8uJ_aM6Iqsg/VQsUK36V8hI/AAAAAAAARVE/Ag1NMz8dQg4/s1600/6fb84950992b7926cd73fc639be36604.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8uJ_aM6Iqsg/VQsUK36V8hI/AAAAAAAARVE/Ag1NMz8dQg4/s1600/6fb84950992b7926cd73fc639be36604.jpg" height="640" width="424" /></a></div>
To go with my new picket fence, I'll take this lovely gate and arbor, thanks. :) Is this not idyllic? I can imagine parking my car in the carriage house, and then walking through this gate to the backdoor. That would be lovely.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vYTRiQgWx6M/VQsZSm1UySI/AAAAAAAARVg/alRCEWcfm5A/s1600/1f85ccdb08f4ee86a91899cc9cb70496.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vYTRiQgWx6M/VQsZSm1UySI/AAAAAAAARVg/alRCEWcfm5A/s1600/1f85ccdb08f4ee86a91899cc9cb70496.jpg" height="640" width="470" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would also settle for something like this. :)</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dI4VzzmV9-s/VQsOsplA_OI/AAAAAAAARUo/9dtCmj6CK9Q/s1600/b2eb6ee20e6caac34d43fba0d1e4cb35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dI4VzzmV9-s/VQsOsplA_OI/AAAAAAAARUo/9dtCmj6CK9Q/s1600/b2eb6ee20e6caac34d43fba0d1e4cb35.jpg" height="640" width="512" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If I get my fence and my gate (and my arbor), I'll need a new walkway from the carriage house to the back door. So, I think we'll need some brick. You might remember a few years back, we <a href="http://highstreetmarket.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-antique-brick-pathway.html" target="_blank">repaved our front walk</a> with reclaimed brick. I still adore the look of it and I want MORE. I spotted this chic pattern awhile back and have saved it as inspiration for future hardscaping. Isn't this great? Thank you, Ruthie Sommers.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-990o8CzGA-A/VQsWWfMz7bI/AAAAAAAARVQ/LiT4jjpRXB8/s1600/34d762db824a0aee8745a6704737412e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-990o8CzGA-A/VQsWWfMz7bI/AAAAAAAARVQ/LiT4jjpRXB8/s1600/34d762db824a0aee8745a6704737412e.jpg" height="640" width="500" /></a></div>
And, while we're at it, let's throw in a swimming pool. This picture has been my go-to for years now. I'm obsessed with it and would die to have anything that remotely resembles this someday. Love the complete privacy with those thick evergreens (I think that might be my favorite part)... and the rectangular pool, modern furniture, and potted plants. Wrapped it up and ship it to me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BhEhUQtpnZ4/VQsZSoMdOEI/AAAAAAAARVc/2haFEOjZTIg/s1600/f1f09b3b43c81317eca2431190fd177f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BhEhUQtpnZ4/VQsZSoMdOEI/AAAAAAAARVc/2haFEOjZTIg/s1600/f1f09b3b43c81317eca2431190fd177f.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Our <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/collections/candles" target="_blank">new candles</a> have arrived and they are divine! I only wish you could smell them through this blog because they really do smell fantastic. And, the packaging is awesome-- we've brought in polished copper tumblers, and mercury glass vessels... not to mention the classic blue candle pots and faceted glass. Over the last week, we've been testing out a few lines in the studio and the fragrances are so<i> calming</i>. I didn't expect that. So now, I like to have a candle burning whenever I'm at work. The smell just makes me happy. Isn't it funny how such a simple thing can affect your mood in that way? <br />
<br />
This past weekend, I photographed each new candle for the website and was so impressed by the quality. I know you will be too. <b>And, to celebrate the new line, we're offering everyone 20% off the entire collection now through March 17th! Just use the discount code SPRING20.</b><br />

Happy Friday! I hope you have lovely plans for this weekend. It's finally warming up here and it feels heavenly. :) <br />
<br />
We did a photoshoot in <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank">the store</a> this week, promoting our new <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/collections/home-decor/products/copper-moscow-mule-mug-20-oz" target="_blank">Moscow Mule Mugs</a> <i>(which are really fun to use)</i>, and I've attached the pictures from the newsletter below. We also shared our favorite Moscow Mule recipe with our email list. I thought I would share it here on the blog, too. Just in case any of you are interested in making one, try this recipe first-- it's my favorite. If you ask me, the Moscow Mule is a perfect springtime cocktail<i> (and it's easy to make into a "mocktail" for the non-drinkers or pregnant mamas, like me-- just substitute non-alcoholic ginger beer and add soda water). </i><br />
<br />
Have you ever had a Moscow Mule? I recommend chilling the mugs in the freezer for awhile before mixing up a batch. That will help you get the ultimate frosty glass. :) Cheers! <br />

After ordering--and returning--a whopping seven pairs online, I finally found these.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In case you are pregnant, or know someone who is pregnant, I thought I would pass this revelation along to you. I LOVE these <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/paige-denim-jimmy-jimmy-skinny-boyfriend-maternity-jeans-tawni-destruction/3747246" target="_blank">"Jimmy Jimmy" jeans from Paige Denim</a>. Stretchy and cute. I actually like the distressed look here. The best part is the expanding waistband and NO belly band. So, after the baby is born, I can throw on a belt and wear these like regular jeans<i> (this is the plan, and thoughtful justification for the price point). </i><br />

I've got a couple of new design projects on the horizon that are beachy and coastal-inspired. And, THANK GOD for that because, outside my office, my car is covered in ice. And, we're getting more snow tomorrow. So, dreaming and scheming about summertime is just what the doctor ordered over here.<br />
<br />
Here are the images that are covering my desktop this week. And, to me, they scream WARM WEATHER. I am so drawn to using mercury glass this year. But, in tiny doses (think bud vases, a chic table lamp, and mercury glass candles). Also, copper. The rosey cousin to brass. Are you guys liking this new trend? Again, I love copper in small doses-- perhaps a tiny table lamp, a collection of bowls, or hit of copper hardware. Both of these fresh metallics are coming to <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank">the store</a> this month-- I've been really jazzed about it. :) <br />
<br />
Also on my radar: anything that feels like it's been faded in the sun. Think heavy woven textures (like rope), sun faded colors (like misty blue, minty green, and washed out denim) and crisp whites. Always crisp whites.<br />
<br />

And, most importantly, stocking our store with really great spring items. Sourcing and designing new products for <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank">High Street Market</a> is honestly the best part of having a retail store. It's not easy, but when everything comes together, it's so rewarding and really fun. :) When selecting new pieces for our retail business, we are constantly thinking about our customer-- <i>What does our customer want or need for spring/summer? What is the price point? What inspires us and what can we create that's new and unique?</i> For spring and summer, we're thinking of classic woven textures, lightweight sun-faded fabrics, new metallics (like copper and mercury glass), and pieces that feel unfussy and lived in. That being said, we've got a lot of new goodies coming down the pipeline <i>(including some new candles that I'm fixated on)</i>... and today, we launched two new product lines.<br />
<br />
The first is a new woven line of trays and baskets <i>(I'm obsessed)</i>. The quality is top notch and the price point is great. Every single piece in the collection is hand woven. We went with two finishes-- a classic antique brown and a fresh, almost sun-faded white wash. We hope you like it as much as we do.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We've also launched a new line of springtime throw blankets. The price point is very affordable-- most blankets start at $46.00 each! They're handmade of 100% cotton, and very lightweight-- perfect for those cool springtime temperatures. Think porch lounging and sunset watching with a cozy blanket <i>(and maybe a glass of wine)</i>. We have a Diamond pattern and a Herringbone weave...<br />

We've added many new vintage pieces to<a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank"> the store</a> this week <i>(including a fabulous vintage table lamp, a 1928 silver tray from the Hotel Piccadilly in New York, and a fun set of 1950s Fred Press cocktail glasses in sunny yellow-- perfect for springtime cocktails!)</i>. Here is a peek at the new lot:</div>

Happy Friday to you. I hope you have lovely plans for this weekend (will you be watching the Super Bowl?). I will be spending some much needed time with family, and then Dave and I are headed to New York for the gift show. This mama is pretty excited about that.<br />
<br />
We had a really busy week at <a href="http://www.highstreetmarket.com/" target="_blank">work</a>, and I thought I would share some recent Instagram pics of the showroom-- we've changed up some of the display, and we've received some new vintage pieces that are pretty awesome...<br />

If you're looking for an amazing fabric (that looks like a treasured antique print- <i>really</i>), please take a look at <a href="http://www.fschumacher.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=51460" target="_blank">Schumacher's Lampas Chinois</a> (in "vert" especially). When an email with this fabric popped into my inbox last week, I immediately requested samples for my library. It's described as "sumptuous yet soothing" and I couldn't agree more. They suggest upholstering your walls with it! Or, buying yards and yards for glorious drapery. <i>Okay, okay, I love it! And, I have to have it! Give it to me. What's the retail price you say? Over $600 per yard? </i>That's when I deflated into sad puddle on my desk. Boo.<br />
<br />
It must be made with the finest threads in all the land. The most treasured pigments available. Because it really is awesome.<br />
<br />
