Fabric: All Things Aviary!
So I know that Lizzie has mentioned her love for animal themed fabric. However, as of late, my love for animal fabric, specifically birds, has crept in. I see a lot of clients come through that just LOVE any fabric that has birds featured. Some bird-themed fabrics from back in the day were pretty hideous, [...]

Nugget of the Week: Happy Birthday Meredith!
Yesterday we celebrated Meredith’s birthday! We had a yummy lunch from Threadgill’s followed by some super scrumptious cupcakes that Amanda made. Here’s what our little birthday luncheon looked like:
Another exciting nugget: this week we enjoyed talking to Justin Bieber on the phone!
No, not really. They were a series of prank calls, but we enjoyed laughing [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Jewel Tones
Color is one of the most talked about topics at Spruce. Deciding which colors look best on a certain piece of furniture, which combinations jive, which colors represent a certain style best, and the list goes on and on. When we make our own Spruce furniture, we are constantly trying to decide what colors we [...]

Fabric: Get a Silhouette!
Something that I have loved to see have a resurgence in popular design is the use of a silhouette. I remember going to Disney World as a girl and getting a custom silhouette made and framed. My sister and I thought they were the neatest thing, and loved that even our eyelashes were cut out! [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Lonny Magazine
So, something that has inspired me for a few months is truly a God-send. Since the death of Domino (I know, depression), there has been a void that has yet to be filled. The voice and aesthetic that Domino had as a magazine was pretty genius. It really made design accessible and something you could [...]

Fabric: All Things Floral
I know that it has been mentioned before that I adore flowers. As often as I spend my free time devouring design inspiration, I am also trying to soak up all that I can about flowers. If I could have fresh flowers in my home every week, I would die happy. I love their fragrance, [...]

Inspiration of the Week: Musicals!
So, I know that when I first introduced myself I mentioned that I like musicals. This is a bit of an understatement. When I used to travel to NYC quite a bit, I would pack in a show a night. I didn’t care if I had someone to go with, all I knew is that [...]

Fabric: How to pick it and keep it looking great!
So, one of the most common questions I receive when talking with clients who come into Spruce is,
“Now I have a blank (fill in with whatever human/animal you have that ruins your furniture), and how is this fabric gonna hold up to them?”
Since this seems to be such a hot topic when investing in a [...]
