Good morning everyone! I am over the moon to present this guest post with one of my absolute favorite blogs and two of my favorite bloggers, Mona and "Sister" (her real name is Talena but shes affectionately referred to as Sister) from Providence. Where to begin? Well for starters,they are business partners and sisters in their design firm and plain and simple have superb taste with a capital S. This talented pair of established and sought after designers, Mona and Sister love traditional design with a European influence. They have published work of a high caliber and when you see their work you will totally understand. They reside and practice in central Arkansas but in addition to their interior design business they also offer online design services as well, if you are interested in taking a look at their portfolio, click here. It's a royal treat!
I know when I visit their blog I should sit down prepared to take in whatever beauty they have in store that day, but rest assured its always something fabulous! They often generously share their projects on their blog and its always one worth checking out, I just love their asthetic. I was so happy they prepared a guest post to help me out as we continue to settle into the new house but when I laid eyes on what they prepared, I was truly floored, touched and so bowled over! Mona and Sister, thank you so much for this fabulous, major eye candy of a post! For those of you not familiar with the beautiful blog, Providence...you absolutely must stop over, you will thank me! Click here to visit them.
And you just know there is no way in the world that I am letting them get started without "showing off" a little on their behalf. Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it. And these delightful ladies "have it going on" big time. So here is a look at the marvelous Mona and Sister in action!
Mona in action......
And there the two are.....I just had to include this picture, I love it!
We have never met Tina...yet feel like we know her.
She puts so much of herself into her blog. We would all probably be shocked to realize the number of hours she has spent preparing posts and visiting friends...and at the same time she has also been able to create and build one of the most magnificent homes many of us have ever seen...that tells us a lot about her.
She's determined, yet warm and caring. She is meticulous when it comes to detail.. .. a traditionalist at heart but loves glamour. She is well traveled....prefers a classic elegant style. She's very feminine, loyal to her friends and has a good sense of humor. ...
We imagine her as a girlie girl with a lot of spunk and a definite personal style...
She's meticulously planned every single corner of her new home...it's very formal, but still warm. She's created not just a home but a lifestyle for her family and friends to enjoy
We can only imagine, BUT, when we do ... we see her home filled with...
Beautiful fresh flowers everywhere...
Fabulous Mirrors...
The very best in furnishings...Fabulous antiques and crusty old chairs....
Bookshelves filled with interesting antique leather books...Well worn textiles and tapestries...
Old Brass and gorgeous gold gilt...Vintage silver and beautiful china...
Everything personalized and a family crest...
We hope she adds a little whimsy and unexpected... like this fabulous oversized frame...
or beautiful mirror hung on the bookshelves...
Tina must have a wonderful space for her long hours at the computer where she dazzles us all with the details, and shares her heart and resources with many.
So here's to you Tina...May you, your family, and friends enjoy lots of love and laughter,
delicious meals and deep conversation,
joy and tears that go with both the good times and bad....all those things that give meaning to our lives, in your wonderful new home.
XO, The Sisters!
