form and function raleigh nc store — she’s a little upset we opened early and didn’t have a new frock

Haitian art made from paper mache of old french book pages

fishing lures and all things fishing for the fisherman or fisherwoman in your life

living room land etagere with all things golden

gnarly reused Napa grapevine turned tealight candleabra

sweet old spools outfitted with jute and new brass scissors; black coral under dome in front

boy’s land all decked out with maps and globes and pennants

spool daybed all decked out in new fabric…I almost took a nap there today:)

recycled glass floats and lab beakers as bud vases

table fashioned from recycled paper mache

Looks great, Carole. I hadn’t had a chance to look until today. Hope to get by before I go.

Thanks for your support last week. The store appears to be truly a masterpiece!

My name is Carole and I am a caring, efficient and passionate interior decorator. I help clients create stylish, functional homes that respect their past while designing for their future. After extensive research, I work tirelessly to blend clients’ existing and new decor into the overall design scheme. I love what I do.

My ideal for the design world in general (I can dream big, can’t I?): People will stop buying crap, refurbish and highlight their existing treasures and, if they absolutely need more stuff, buy only resale items (vintage, antique, consignment or the like). And if it must be new stuff, it will provide significant function, environmental sustainability or support our artists and thereby feed our soul. I am on a mission…care to join me?

My blog is a little bit decorating tips, a little bit travel, and a whole lotta love and design musings. Xo
