Coley Home Spotlight: Huff Harrington Design

Meet the creatives behind Huff Harrington Design! Recently featured in The Atlanta Home For The Holidays Show House, we adore their fresh yet traditional spaces. They masterfully blend the old with the new and we love following along to see what they're designing next. Read on to see how they styled their Coley Home piece in the show house. Tell us about yourselves & how you got to where you are today! Trudy was born and raised in Piqua, Ohio, though people are often surprised I’m not a born and bred Southern belle. I currently lead Huff Harrington Design as Lead Designer, where I bring a refined design sensibility, thoughtful approach, and a little optimism to every project. Before fully stepping into interiors, I honed my spacial design skills through l leadership roles with brands including Gap, Spanx, and Serena & Lily. Frequent trips to France – where I assist with international design projects and installations – have shaped my signature approach: blending old and new with a playful, unexpected twist. Outside the office, you’ll often find me strolling Chastain Park with my handsome Lab, Beau, or enjoying a lively dinner out with my husband, glass of bubbly in hand. Emma Caroline Lee has spent years with Huff Harrington honing her eye through countless design projects. Prior to that she tackled the world of luxury PR launching fine art, fashion and hospitality brands in Atlanta. While her heart lies with traditional themes she loves to create a mix and to elevate designs through fabrics and custom pieces, building a story around our clients’ existing furnishings. Her love of classic and traditional design is a perfect complement to the Huff Harrington mix of antique and modern. When she’s not designing, you can find her spending time with her adorable young family or traveling. One of the most meaningful parts of our work is connecting with clients. We take the time to really listen, understand their stories and the pieces they love, and translate their vision into spaces that feel personal, sophisticated, and always chic. You recently selected 2 Twin Claremont Beds - Charles with a fabulous brushed fringe. Walk us through the design process! One of the elements that grounded the design of the room from the very beginning was a fabulous imported antique settee we found in the South of France. Its sassy curves immediately set the tone, so it was important for us to find bed frames that echoed that curvy softness – the Charles did just that. As with any successful space, the devil is in the details. We had the most fun marrying the bed frames and settee through coordinating fabrics - ultimately choosing a stripe for the beds to bring in a tailored note. To soften the structured stripe - and of course adding a touch of unexpectedness - we finished the headboards with a brushed fringe trim from Samuel & Sons. Layered against the Farrow & Ball high-gloss walls, the subtle movement and texture was the perfect final touch, elevating the beds while tying the entire room together beautifully. The Claremont bed - Charles How would you describe your style? Classic at its core, with a deep reverence for both contemporary and antique influences. You have a design branch in both Atlanta and Paris. Do you often try to incorporate European influences throughout your design projects in the US? It truly works both ways – we’re constantly inspired by both sides of the pond. That said, there’s something especially compelling about incorporating a piece of French history into our state-side projects. A beautiful European antique has an effortless way of adding depth, soul and a bit of “crunch” when layered into a modern or traditional home. We always aim for a home that feels classic and lived-in. If you had to pick one, what is your favorite project to date? That’s a difficult question, as each project is deeply personal to each client. Knowing their story, understanding the heirlooms they cherish, and creating designs that reflect their lives make every project meaningful in its own way. What aspect of Parisian lifestyle do you adopt in your everyday life? I’ve always admired the ease of the French lifestyle – lingering over meals, choosing quality over quantity, and treating everyday rituals as small indulgences. And of course, there’s the skincare… a daily reminder that a good cream can, in fact, solve almost everything! What’s a wallpaper or fabric you are dying to use in a project? Tough question because there are so many that are on our radar but I recently stumbled across the most adorable wallpaper by Jordan Connelly that would be the perfect addition to a family vacation home. Favorite coffee table book? Well, at the moment , we are gushing over the most recent Atlanta Homes & Lifestyle magazine because Huff Harrington Design made the cover! What is your most requested design feature? ‘The Mix’ of new & old The mix – layering new with old to create spaces that feel collected, not decorated. It’s about balancing contemporary pieces with character-rich antiques to achieve spaces that are timeless, personal, and truly lived-in.

Coley Home Spotlight: Caroline Boykin

Meet Caroline! Based out of Raleigh, NC, Caroline creates the most incredible artwork, from intricate paintings to delicate sculptures. Read on to learn all about Caroline and how she styled her Coley Home pieces. Tell us about yourself and how you got to where you are today! Hey Coley Home! I am Caroline Reehl Boykin, a fine artist based in Raleigh, North Carolina and my work is inspired by the spirit of everyday life. For the past 15 years I have had the honor of creating artwork for clients all over the world. My paintings are filled with elements of nature, architecture, and form using many mediums. I find that unique color interactions within my paintings capture viewers and bring them into a conversation of life and movement. Through the use of porcelain, acrylic paint, and gold and silver leaf, I paint multi-dimensional works that transcend a subject and allow the viewer to decipher meaning. I have always loved to create. My childhood on the Alabama coast cultivated my enchantment with art and southern culture. Touches of this admiration for Southern hospitality and grandeur are seen today flowing through my paintings. While in college, a summer of studying figure drawing in Florence, Italy led me to the realization that being an artist was in my bones. I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!!) where I focused on ceramics, but I have always had a true passion for all mediums in art. Today I am blessed to have my studio right here in my home so that I can jump between businesswoman and momma easily. My husband, two girls, and bulldog, Blue, provide me with as much support as they do inspiration to my paintings! Caroline's Website How would you describe your artistic style in your own words? My work is rooted in the rituals of everyday life - morning light, the scent and shapes of flowers from our garden, my girls' infectious giggles, or an ice-cold martini my husband makes me after a long week. These moments are sacred rhythms woven into my paintings. I think my artistic style is a nice combination of Modern and Feminine. How do you approach mixing color and texture in your pieces? Color and texture are such important aspects of my work! In my Le Pointe collection, mixed color combinations are the foundation and the starting point of each painting. Once the squares of color are chosen for the painting, I then come back with more colors but in small marks to create a dance between the squares. When mixing the paint for these marks, I whip my paint to a frosting-like consistency to create little dots of texture. This mesmerizing texture creates the smallest shadows that move throughout the day as light moves across the painting. Caroline used a pair of Bongo Stools in COM (Customer's Own Material) to create the perfect accent pieces for her living room! Where do you personally look for inspiration? Everywhere! Small and simple moments inspire me most as of late. There is beauty surrounding us always, we just have to take the time to find it. This is what I want the viewer to feel when taking in my artwork. To admire the painting with an exhale and to get lost in a memory. I find myself within each scene of my Pout paintings. Do you have any tips for mixing art with furniture and decor in a room? My only tip is to purchase art that you love, and not just because it matches your couch! I find a home much more inviting and beautiful when it is filled with interesting art. What are your favorite areas to splurge when decorating your home, and favorite places to save? My favorite places to splurge and save are the same - antiques! Sometimes you find the save of the century in an antique chandelier or the biggest splurge in an antique Klimt sofa. Whether a splurge or a save, antiques are always necessary. Is there anything more fun than the thrill of the hunt? Most treasured piece in your home (besides your own art)? We have the cover of my great grandmother's bible framed and hung in our kitchen. My great grandmother Leavie, whom my oldest is named after, was born in the late 1800s and I inherited her bible which was so loved and used that it was held together by duct tape. We (very carefully!) took off the cover that is inscribed with her name and framed it in a gorgeous antique frame. It brings me so much joy to see it every day, a sweet reminder of my beloved family and what a matriarch looks like. What is your favorite spring or summer recipe? Food or cocktail! So many! We love to eat in my house! In the spring and summer, it’s anything made with in-season produce from our local Farmer's Market. We also love a skinny Piña Colada for a fun cocktail/mocktail around the pool. It's just blended coconut water, a little pineapple juice, pineapple chunks, and ice. When my girls aren't partaking, a splash of rum makes it even tastier! Thanks, Caroline!

Coley Home Spotlight: MG Style

Meet Mary Glenn of MG Style! Based in Alabama, MG is a fabulous tastemaker and mother of the cutest little boy. We love her twist on classic style and following along to see all her great finds! Read on to learn how MG styled her Coley Home pieces. Tell us about yourselves & how you got to where you are today! Mary Glenn McElveen is a premier stylist and closet curator, transforming women’s wardrobe into an elevated extension of her identity through her styling and lifestyle brand, MG Style. After studying Fashion Merchandising and Marketing, Mary Glenn parlayed her innate sense of style and taste into positions in interior design. But through her leisure and travels, Mary Glenn realized the modern woman’s need for clear direction when shopping and with it, MG Style was born. Mary Glenn has guided this mission by offering genuine feedback and practicality to her clients, with current links and dynamic basics, while never holding back an opportunity to encourage women to stand out in a crowd. Through curating closets and striking looks for her clients, she has also found enjoyment in sharing her findings and inspiration with her loyal social media following. Most evenings, after putting her son Harlan down, she is draped in loungewear with her husband, Brooks, scouring the internet for the next beautiful find. You recently selected (4) Hastings Chairs in Mont Blanc, Ivory with Nomad, Snow Contrasting Cushions for your living room. Walk us through the design process! I’ve loved flexing my interior design muscle—especially with the help of my friend Emily Ehrhardt of Emily Ehrhardt Interiors—to turn our house into a home. I chose the Hastings Chairs for our formal living room and love the way they surround the round coffee table. I can’t wait to sip my morning coffee and enjoy quiet, peaceful moments in this space for years to come. The Hastings Chair in Mont Blanc, Ivory with a Contrast Cushion and Back Pillow in Nomad, Snow. How would you describe your style? My home decor is a true extension of my personal style. Rooted in neutral tones, elevated textures and details that add just the right amount of interest. What are your favorite styling pieces to splurge on and favorite places to save? In fashion, I love to splurge on classic pieces that can be styled multiple ways and through all seasons. My favorite splurge is a unique Chanel flat always sourced through The Coveted. In home decor, I love to splurge on antique pieces that catch my eye. What is the most requested product from your followers? This is a hard one! I get a lot of styling questions from my followers and send links to my belts and other outfit polishing pieces daily. What’s one niche holiday decoration you can’t live without? I purchase a fresh, beautiful oversized wreath every year. It’s something timeless and instantly sets the tone for the season without feeling overdone but still elevated. We have to ask! What’s currently in your bag? Oh gosh, a full mix of things! I always have sunglasses, my wallet, a lipgloss and a few extra pacifiers in my bag to get me through the day. Favorite winter/cold weather recipe (dish or cocktail, your choice!) I am not the chef in my household but my husband makes these really yummy bacon wrapped dates that are always a hit!

Claremont Bed vs. Crown Bed

Your bedroom should be a sanctuary, and we believe that starts with your bed! We offer several styles of beds, but our most popular and customizable styles belong to the Crown Bed Collection and the Claremont Collection. Both offer similar headboard shapes and a platform bed frame, but there are some key differences between the two collections to note before making your purchase. Read on to determine which collection best fits your needs! The Crown Bed Need a custom look in a flash? The Crown Bed is our signature Bed-in-a-box! It features a 100% foam slipcovered headboard and a fully upholstered platform bed frame – no box spring needed. The foam headboard does not attach to the bed frame, but is supported between the flat wall, bed frame and mattress. Handcrafted in just 10 business days, the Crown Bed ships via UPS. Unwrap your dream bedroom in no time! Highly customizable, the Crown Bed is available in 7 unique shapes, over 80 fabrics, and 5 wooden leg finishes. Choose from King, Queen, and Twin XL sizes! Customize your bed with a contrast welt and wood leg finish. Shop the Crown Bed Grab a friend, and assemble the bed in no time! Since the Crown Headboard is 100% foam, it will arrive tightly compressed into a cylinder inside a Coley Home Box. The foam headboard will arrive in a protective white fabric cover, with your slipcover folded up inside a dust bag. No need to remove the white covering – your made-to-order slipcover will slide right over it. We encourage customers to open the package immediately to give time for the foam to expand back to its original shape. The longer the foam headboard is compressed and rolled, the longer it will take to take shape – this should take a few hours. Once the foam has fully expanded, you can apply the slipcover! Make sure that the seams match up with the edges of the foam, for best results. Don’t worry, the slipcover should be tight, keep tugging! Once you’ve pulled the slipcover over the foam, lay the foam flat and line up the bottom corners. You will see a zipper lining at the bottom of the cover. Keep in mind, we designed this to be very tight so that the end result will resemble an upholstered headboard! The Crown Bed Frame is a fully upholstered platform frame, so no need for a box spring! Another advantage of the Crown Bed is its versatility! Want to refresh your space? You can easily switch out the Crown Headboard slipcover! Extra Slipcovers Love the bed skirt look? Check out our Crown Bed Skirt! With a 16 inch drop length and a streamlined design, our bed skirt is compatible with most standard bed frames and pairs beautifully with our Crown Headboards – just be sure to measure! Please note that our bed skirt is not compatible with our Crown Bed Frames, or with bed frames that require headboard attachment. Shop the Bed Skirt The Claremont Bed Ground your bedroom in sophistication with the Claremont Bed. Our Claremont Bed features a fully upholstered headboard and platform bed frame - no boxspring needed! Handcrafted in 6-8 weeks, the Claremont Beds ship via freight carrier. Learn about our different shipping options here. The Claremont Bed is available in 7 unique shapes, over 80 fabrics, and 5 wooden leg finishes! Customize with a contrast welt or even contrast border for a bespoke feel. Choose from King, Queen, and Twin sizes. The headboard and bed frame are fully attached to each other, so they must be purchased together. Shop now

Holiday Hosting with Heather French

Thanksgiving is almost here, which means holiday hosting season is in full swing! Bring on the festive decor, the elaborate tablescapes, and decadent recipes. We chatted with one of our favorite designers, Heather French, about her gorgeous dining room and best holiday hosting tips. Tell us about yourself! Hi! My name is Heather French and I am the founder and principal designer of French and French Interiors. I run the firm alongside my husband, Matt French who is our Director of Business Development and Lead Product Designer. We’re based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico but take on both residential and commercial projects nationwide. We’ve been taking on more boutique commercial projects lately that we are absolutely loving and looking forward to more opportunities like this in the near future. How would you describe your design style? Classic and folky. I try to always focus on this fun, vibrant aspect of design where everything is layered, patterned and colorful. Hard to describe in a few words! I always listen to what the client has to say, what colors they’re interested in, what existing art they have to pull from, but a key focus for me is to always create spaces that make you feel comfortable and at ease. I like to consider this as the foundation to my design and then create interest with layered patterns, especially through different fabrics. You recently designed a gorgeous dining room featuring our Sophie Dining Chairs! Walk us through the design process of the chairs. This dining space is actually in my own home that we’re in the process of putting final touches on! We’re nearing the end of our remodel and the ultimate goal is to feature a floral wallpaper on the ceiling and then red built-in shelving surrounding the dining table. So, the design for the chair ultimately pulled from the ceiling wallpaper we’ll be bringing into this space. I wanted a pop of red, so we brought that in through the piping and in back fabric and decided to add an Indian inspired floral to pull the red theme from throughout the rest of the dining room. We finished it off with a blue cotton that’s really quite fun and beautiful. I think the fact that Coley Home offers so many custom upholstery options is great because you really don’t see that very often. To be able to have so many beautiful options available in house is just incredible. The Sophie Dining Chair in Frenchie, Rose Petal with an Italian Blend, Caribbean Blue Contrast Outback and Como, Rockstar Welt. Where are some of your favorite places to source table decor? Candles, tablecloths, napkins, china, etc. I like Mrs. Alice quite a bit, the cabbage plates are from her. And then, Kit Kemp is great for napkins and other table linens. And the rest of the plates are all Wedgwood. I love to mix and match. I’ll go on Etsy to source things like hand-painted candles and then play with florals and seasonal produce from the local market to top off a tablescape. Do you have a go-to formula for the perfect holiday table? Making it feel natural and homey, not too pretentious. You want people to really linger and hang out. Also, there is a difference between the table that you actually eat at vs. one styled to be enjoyed from a distance. So I have two different ways I like to style. If it’s just for decor - I make it a bit more flouncy, but if we’ll be eating at the table, it’s a lower floral and definitely lots of candles. Any tips to eliminate stress when preparing to host friends and family? Yes! I’m a big believer in hosting whether you’re ready for it or not. And I think these days, it’s actually quite rare to be invited over for dinner, people often just choose to go out. Over the past few years we’ve developed a Friday night crew where every Friday night we’re rotating at someone's house for dinner. Sometimes it’s a really beautiful, lovely dinner and sometimes it’s pizza or some other take-out. It’s more about getting together and less about the fancifulness of it all. If I can pull off something fully styled and home-cooked, I certainly do. I think it’s really special to eat off your nice china and share those moments but I think my biggest tip is to just do it. And if that means a pint of ice cream on the table and some pizza, everybody is thankful for that, no matter what. Favorite Thanksgiving recipe? My grandmother did these stuffed mushrooms that were simply incredible - lots of lemon and garlic, stuffed with Italian herbs and seasonings. And I’m gluten free now, so I’ve found a great gluten free version to continue the tradition in our home. Go-to dinner party playlist? Whatever Matt puts on!* *We asked Matt, he says “global synthy disco funk or big bass relentless rhythms… It depends though, really. ;)”

Born in South Africa, I enjoyed living in England before ultimately calling San Antonio, Texas home with my husband, Michael, and our three children. While attending Texas Christian University, I studied interior design while simultaneously beginning Nicola Bathie Jewelry. My worldly childhood and English heritage have undoubtedly had a hand in molding my style and designs to what they are today. You have lived in several different countries throughout your life – how has this influenced your design style? It has influenced the way I appreciate different styles. You recently added the Bryant Bumper Chaise sectional to your home. Walk us through the design process! I knew I wanted a pattern that would WOW but also wanted it to cohesively blend into the blissful room it was going in. Loved the Frenchie pattern and after deliberation on different colorways I ended up choosing Frenchie, Dove. You are in the middle of renovating your dream home! What are you most excited about? Living there! It is such a long time coming and I cannot wait for the interiors, I have been dreaming of them for the last 5 years.

Coley Home Spotlight: Alexandra Norwood

Meet Alexandra! Based in Nashville, TN, she was an Editor at Country Living Magazine before becoming an interior designer! We’re always inspired by her mastery of layered spaces filled with color and incredible prints! Tap to learn all about Alexandra! Tell us about yourself My husband and I live in Nashville with our 8 month old and within the last year completed the build of our house. I grew up in Virginia so am very inspired by classical architecture, collected interiors, and anything with a rich history. I firmly believe a home should tell the story of its owners and aspire to create that for each of my clients. How would you describe your design style? After having spent almost half a decade in the magazine industry before ultimately landing in interior design, I had been exposed to such a wide variety of styles, which has greatly influenced my personal aesthetic. My style is classic in nature but interpreted in a fresher way, always with the goal of creating timeless and approachable spaces. You recently designed the most beautiful nursery for your baby girl and used the Upholstered Hadley Swivel Glider! Walk us through the design process of the room. It all started with the wallpaper. I’ve had my eye on this Schumacher paper for years and when I found out I was having a baby girl I knew this was the perfect opportunity to use it. Since the paper is so geometric and orderly I needed something soft and more organic to balance it, so I pulled in a floral chintz using it as my main fabric. From there I honed in on the more obscure colors from the chintz like the mustard velvet and upholstered the glider in it to ground the room and just kept mixing patterns to keep it playful. The art you selected for the nursery is stunning. Where are some of your favorite places to source art? Art is such an important aspect to a home, and oftentimes it feels like this is where clients tend to stop. But, this is where your personality and preferences really get to shine. When at all possible I prefer to bring in an art consultant to help clients select meaningful pieces and one of my favorites is IG Art. However, if that’s not in the budget, Natural Curiosities is a great resource for a wide variety of prints and they offer them in oversized sizes which is great when you need a large piece but don’t want to break the bank. I also love Chairish. Your pattern play in the nursery is flawless! Any tips for mixing and matching patterns? Don’t be afraid to step out of the box a little bit. This is where you get the opportunity to make a space unique. Start with a common thread, like a particular shade of pink and build upon that. If you have a large scale print wallpaper then your drapery might need to be a tight block print or stripe, it’s all about visual balance. Go-to places for design inspiration? Travel, museums, historic homes, etc. Favorite coffee table book? The Big Book of Chic, Miles Redd is my design idol. Dream travel destination? Travel through Europe on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Favorite book or TV show at the moment? The Real Housewives of New York City.

Coley Home Spotlight: MaryRalph Bradley

Meet MaryRalph! Based in Malibu, California, MaryRalph is co-founder of the fabulous lifestyle brand, Daily Drills! MaryRalph is the pinnacle of effortlessly chic style and we love her positive energy! Read on to learn all about MaryRalph, how she's styled her beautiful home, and more! Tell us about yourself! My name is MaryRalph Bradley, originally from Austin, TX, currently living in Los Angeles with my husband Houston! I’m the co-founder and Creative Director of Daily Drills, a lifestyle brand that I run alongside my best friend. Outside of work, you can find me on long walks alongside the Palisades Bluffs, taking a cold plunge in the ocean, sipping on an Aperol Spritz, or laying low with friends and family. How would you describe your interior design style? I would say my style is coastal meets classic! My mom, Missy Lawson, is an interior designer so she has been my biggest influence when it comes to my taste in interiors! I loved growing up in the south, with the traditional architecture and styling. Now I live in Los Angeles, and I love the easy laid back casual beachy lifestyle southern California gives. I feel like my personal interior design style is a combination of these two worlds, so to me it's very "Home-y." You recently styled the Parker Dining Bundle in your new dining room. Walk us through the design process! I knew I wanted to refresh my dining room and add a bit of warmth and texture into the space. My previous chairs were a bit cold and I wanted something upholstered and simple. I love the classic elements an upholstered chair brings, and the coastal feel from the light linen fabric, so it seemed to be the perfect chair for my dining room! I love the effortless look of the chairs and the inviting conversational feeling they give by being armless. Not only do we love your breezy taste in interiors, we live for your OOTD’s! Where are some of your favorite places to shop? I feel like I have a very defined personal style, so it bleeds into my clothing and my home. I always laugh that I am “matching my house” -- I love a mix of classic and coastal in my wardrobe, too, so we are always matchy-matchy! Some of my current favorite places to shop are Daily Drills (My Brand), Jenni Kayne for cardigans, Doen for easy breezy pieces, ALV jewels for easy accessories, NAKD/Zara/Mango for trendy items, Sir the Label for Aussie staples, American Vintage for Knits, and Timeless Pearly for statement jewelry. Who/what are your main sources of inspiration? My mom is one of my biggest sources of Inspiration! I love her effortless and true-to-herself style she has always had. She is always classic, always cool, and always dressed! She has taught me everything I know! I also love getting inspiration from my own surroundings -- the wildflowers that grow in Southern California inspire my dinner party floral arrangement… the weather in LA inspires my pant selection for that day… the window display I passed on my morning walk inspires the idea for an art piece in my house… and the TikTok I just hearted inspires my dinner menu for the night! I’m constantly influenced by all of the little things throughout my day -- if you look for inspo, you’ll find it! Tell us all about Daily Drills! What’s your favorite piece that has dropped recently? Daily Drills (my brand!) is LA-based lifestyle brand designed to make getting dressed fun. In 2020, my best friend Kennedy Crichlow (Kenn) and I spotted a niche in the ever-growing leisure industry and set out to create clothes that do the work for you. From cozy loungewear to stylish workout gear and vacation-ready resort wear, Daily Drills has something for every occasion. Soon after selling out our first collection, Kenn and I quit our social media and marketing jobs to give our constantly growing social media audience what they wanted. What started as cardboard boxes of inventory stacked on my apartment balcony has grown into the easy-to-love, exciting-to-style, 7-figure apparel destination that is Daily Drills. You recently got married! If you had one piece of advice for future brides, what would it be? !!! It was the happiest day ever !!! I would say make it authentically YOU! Do things that make you happy that day, like a morning walk or your favorite lunch! If you hate getting ready for hours, don’t. If you love your hair waved, wave it! The whole day, not just the night, is supposed to be the best, so design your own perfect day. Favorite summertime cocktail? An Aperol Spritz…. CHEERS! Summer plans you’re most excited about? I have lots of fun weekends and trips ahead! I’ll be home for the 4th, because we love a Texas July 4th party, then am off to some weddings and parties for a few of our favorite people, heading back to Italy *and hopefully Paris* and will top it all off with a secret destination for my sister's bachelorette party! Favorite coffee table book at the moment? Love Surfing by . It was actually my Guest book at my wedding! We had all of our guests sign inside and now we have it sitting on our coffee table and love flipping through it for encouraging messages from all of our loved ones. Favorite book or TV show at the moment? Bob Goff Love Does is my fav book at the moment, and of all time !!!

Coley Home Spotlight: Sarah Tucker

Meet Sarah! Based in Palmetto, Florida, Sarah is an expert on style and travel - and we can't get enough! Read on to learn all about Sarah, how she's styled her incredible home, and more! Tell us about yourself! I'm a lifestyle and travel content creator out of Palmetto, Florida. While I love to travel, I also believe there's no place like home. You recently added the Bradley Return Loveseat Sectional in Ringo, Bay to your home. Walk us through the design process of the room! Our home was built in 1924, but our playroom was an addition added in the 70s. It lacked the charm of the rest of the house. People usually enter through the playroom too, so it was unfortunately the first impression. In 2019 we ripped out the paneled walls, had the old windows replaced, put french doors where a fireplace was, and had old cabinets removed where we replaced them with benches that open up to store toys. It has been a project! Honestly, it was great for the time of having a baby and a toddler. We had old leather couches in there that we never felt was all that comfortable. And I don't think it ever truly fit our aesthetic! Our kids are now 8 and 10, and are into all of the sports. This room used to be covered in toys, and now we gravitate toward board games and tv shows. I wanted to give us all a space that was comfortable, classic, and perfect for hosting friends. Having purchased Coley Home in the past, I knew the quality was going to be amazing. I knew it could hold up to my kids and all of their friends, and our Boston Terrier. I love that the Bradley Return Loveseat Sectional is one of the first things you see now when you walk into our home. It's proven to be so cozy! Your home is absolutely beautiful, and we loved reading all about it in Southern Living this Spring. If you could give one piece of advice for moving into a historic home, what would it be? Thank you!! Have patience, make sure you really love it, and don't mind a project! We love seeing glimpses of your sister, Molly Boyd, on your Instagram and your stylish collaborations! What are some of your favorite parts about working with your sister? I have so many! For one, we are always having fun! Family is such a big part of our life, and getting to work together is a dream. Molly has always had an incredible eye for style, and ability to execute it. I'm amazed by her thoughtfulness in design and in life in general. I love seeing her shine, and I love how she calls me her Kris Jenner. Haha! Favorite summer recipe: Watermelon, Feta, and Basil. Go-to places to find design inspiration? Instagram has so many favorites - Renee Cusano, Haverhill Home, Haven Sent, are just a few. I also love artists like Riley Sheehey, Teil Duncan, and Lulie Wallace. Bunny Mellon, James Farmer, and Mark D. Sikes are all incredible sources for design inspiration Favorite coffee table book at the moment? Deeda Blair - Food, Flowers and Fantasy. Dream travel destination? An African Safari Favorite book or TV show at the moment? Can't get enough of Ted Lasso

Coley Home Spotlight: Megan Ann Lore

Meet Megan! Based in Atlanta, Megan runs By Social Club creative agency and Match South with her husband. She also has the most beautiful taste, we love seeing her style picks and inspiration! Tell us about yourself! Hi! I’m Megan. I live in Atlanta with my husband. We own a Creative Studio and Marketing agency by day and I share my life on Instagram as I find the time :) I love all things food, style and home! You recently designed a bedroom using our Crown Bed in the Georgia shape. Walk us through the design process of the room! Both fortunately and unfortunately, our journey began with a significant water leak. However, this unexpected event provided us with an opportunity to renovate our bedroom. My vision for the space was to create a tranquil and serene environment. To achieve this, I decided to start with a neutral blue grasscloth wallpaper that features a subtle pattern. From there, I carefully curated the rest of the room's elements. Lately, I've developed a fondness for vibrant colors, so I wanted our bed to serve as a bold statement piece, injecting a burst of energy into the room. With this in mind, I opted for a bed design that would truly captivate the eye. The addition of a lavender welt on the bed adds a touch of unique character, enhancing its overall appeal. We are huge fans of Match South! Tell us how the idea came about, and do you have a match book photograph that is most sentimental to you? Thank you, it has been such a fun ride! I had the idea a few years back when we were going through my husband's grandparents home after they had passed away. They had some of the most iconic Atlanta establishments and some old vintage Sea Island. We wanted a way to preserve some of these sacred memories… Fast forward to 2020 we had a little more time with the world being shut down and that’s where Match South was born. We partnered with ATL Family Meal, a local organization helping hospitality workers with supplementing their income to enhance their quality of life by donating 50% of our profits. Since then Match South has grown into something we could never have imagined. We are expanding our product collection and have some exciting collaborations coming up soon! Three favorite accounts to follow on Instagram? @ballerinafarm - she inspires me to be better and to order less Doordash @samanthavarvel - a new follow to me! I love her style and her traveling with her kids make me think that I can one day do it all! @alixearle - i just can’t get enough… she reminds me of my college self! Favorite summer recipe? OMG my favorite summer recipe is Tomato Pie. The one from Southern Living is so beyond! Favorite coffee table book at the moment? I just got Steve this book! “Golf: The Ultimate Book” Dream travel destination? We are planning to go to Italy next year. I am in much need to pasta, pasta and more pasta. Favorite book or TV show at the moment? I just started Never Lie by Frieda McFadden! I love a good thriller or true crime special!

Coley Home Spotlight: Lilly Sisto

Meet Lilly! Based in New York, Lilly works in Fashion PR and is one of our favorite style mavens. We can’t get enough of her effortlessly chic taste and her savvy small space apartment design! Tap through to learn more about Lilly. Tell us about yourself! Hi! I am Lilly and I am 28 years old and live in New York City working full time in Fashion PR while also creating content and styling in my free time. You recently moved to a new apartment in NYC and selected the Crown Bed in Luxe Velvet, Shadow! Walk us through the design process. I was immediately drawn to this color and knew I wanted a velvet bed. I knew it would look good in any space I put it in and also that I will have it forever. I love that it is a mix between a dark grey and a bit of a brown. It is just the coolest color, and when you add bedding, the color really pops. It was so hard deciding on the shape of the headboard but went with one I know will never go out of style! Any space-saving techniques for small New York apartments? Oh my goodness- so many! I have really learned how to minimize and get rid of things you do not need. I also installed a clothing rack on the wall for more closet space- and yes I do keep shoes in my oven! Your style is absolutely effortless, and we are obsessed! Where are your favorite places to shop? I have recently been really drawn to only purchasing vintage or second hand items and I love looking online for this at places like the real real, depop, poshmark but in person there are great vintage stores in Brooklyn. In London and Paris especially, thats where I find the best pieces. My favorite vintage store in London is called Pandora's Dressing Agency. How did your time working in press and partnerships at LoveShackFancy influence your style in both interiors and fashion? Working at LoveShackFancy completely influenced my style because I would incorporate those pieces into my wardrobe and put the Lilly spin on it. Interiors especially because Rebecca has such an amazing eye for sourcing cool home items and especially for the stores and even our offices. Go-to places for design inspiration? Instagram and magazines! I love reading Arch Digest, House Beautiful and stumbling across different home accounts. Favorite restaurant in New York? Palm Beach? New York Cervos Kikis Palm Beach: Palm Beach Grill Buccan Dream travel destination? Japan! Favorite book or TV show at the moment? Tomorrow, Tomorrow and Tomorrow
