The holidays are fully upon us and, I don’t know about you, but I have a stack of gifts in the corner of my closet that need to be wrapped! One of my favorite parts of the holidays is the design aspect that comes into play when wrapping a gift. Whether you’re an intricate paper […]

Have you ever considered using Modern Metal as an insert for your cabinetry? Lexie Saine Design and Sabrina Alfin Interiors have recently specified these in their projects.  In fact, this is one of the most popular uses of our smaller panels. You’ve seen it done time and time again with glass, but you can do […]

What’s even more on my mind than a big meal is how inspiring fall and winter designs can be. This was a beautiful table display that took my breath away last week in a […]

You’ve seen Annie’s posts about her labs Archie and Hector who double as her family’s trusty companions and our studio guard dogs. Recently we met the newest member […]
