All Things Blue, Brass, & Jute – Shopping at Arhaus

by Malissa McLeod, in category Uncategorized

Hi Friends! It’s my favorite time of the year with the staging season in full swing. I love helping clients prepare their houses to go on the market – stretching all of my creative muscles to make what people already own look fabulous – my dream job. It’s amazing what kind of magic can happen when an expert steps in and repositions the furniture, rehangs the artwork, and places the decor.

That said, this week Arhaus reached out and asked me to switch gears and put together a dream room based on their beautiful collection. I jumped at the chance to build an imaginary room from the ground up.

To begin with, I’ve been obsessed with sectionals that incorporate ottomans instead of a chaise at one end. While I love to put my feet up for a movie, I also want the flexibility to pull that huge ottoman out and seat a few friends for a party. This made the Pavo Sectional a perfect choice.

I also knew right away that I wanted something cool and fresh as we head into spring. Time to put away the earth tones. Whites, blues, and jute felt like just the ticket.

September – Things I Love Right Now

by Malissa McLeod, in category Decorating

It’s after Labor Day but not quite Fall yet here in the South. While my mind keeps wandering to cozy textiles like Flokati rugs and velvet pillows, I’m still gravitating towards bright fresh colors. It was 95 degrees in Durham today! The perfect weather to shop from  air-conditioned comfort. Here are some things that have stopped me in my tracks.

little tiny house fantasy

by Malissa McLeod Interiors, in category Uncategorized

When I was little, there was a closet under the stairway. At the back of the closet, behind the coats and the vacuum cleaner, behind the wrapping paper and extra dishes, there was a little space just big enough for a seven year old girl. In that little space, I plugged in a lamp, cleared the floor, leaned a picture against the wall, and claimed it for my own.

I guess you could say I’ve always liked little spaces that contained only what I needed and nothing more. I often find myself day dreaming about tiny living in my grown up life. I wonder if the folks from Tumbleweed had little rooms under the stairs long ago?

Sitting with Style

by Malissa McLeod Interiors, in category Uncategorized

Hi Everyone!

It’s been a while since my last post but let’s not dwell on that and just dive right in, shall we?

I’ve been obsessed with dining room chairs lately! I’m shopping for a client who has a f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s  Saarinen-like tulip table paired with chairs she got 20 years ago for $40…(or maybe it was 40 years ago for $20?) The table looks like this one by Knoll:

Saarinen Table by Knoll

I told you. It’s fantastic!

I’ve had so much fun searching for possibilities (we’ve got a few on a short list at this point) and I’ve seen so many varieties (some that have nothing to do with the current project) that I thought I would post some pictures. And if by any chance you’ve been looking for new chairs yourself, I’d like to share the most important thing I’ve learned along the way:

Buy the chairs you love. Don’t obsess over matching table and chair sets or even matching chairs to each other if that’s your thing. Traditional table? Yes, you can pair it with modern chairs and vice versa. Modern home? Go for a rustic chair and see how inviting the seating area suddenly becomes.

In other words… ANYTHING GOES.
