The small things can make the biggest difference. Refreshing your everyday with little luxuries can make all the difference. These <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cdubaaisgw">sweet glasses from Urban Outfitters</a>(whaaa?) are on my wishlist. </div>

After taking some time off for the past couple years 2016 was a good year for me. I decided it was time to do my thing. I started my own design firm, Oak City Interiors. While the learning curve was steep, it was worth every second. I could not be more excited for 2017 and everything it has to offer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cannot wait to show you some projects from 2016 (if I ever get them photographed). I also plan on offering a shopping section once I get a website to show current inventory at my office. I am trying to focus on one of kind pieces and a few classic stock items that you do not see everywhere. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am going to try my best to update the blog, but I do not have a great track record. I am having a really hard time finding anything on the Internet worth sharing these days. In the meantime, you can follow along on Insta @oakcityinteriors. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to go ahead and do it. It was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw these <a href="http://www.zarahome.com/us/botanical-design-pink-earthenware-tableware/botanical-design-pink-earthenware-tableware-c0p300047697.html">botanical dinner plates</a> from Zara Home. It is as close as I will ever get and you can put it in the dishwasher or microwave. You can drop it and not shed a tear. It also cost $7.90, which would be reasonable for an even an unattractive plate. You have about a 20 minute window before they sell out. Best wishes!</div>

I do not like tile. Can we stop using it? It is expensive and cold. Too shiny. I can tolerate something small on the bathroom floor because I am practical. Other than that, I just do not see the point. Oh, and showers of course. Speaking of showers, I miss shower curtains. Mainly because they hide tile. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2017, let's make a pact. Less tile, more this (see below)</div>

My super stylish and witty friend was featured on <a href="http://www.isuwannee.com/2016/03/the-real-raleigh-charlotte-smith.html">The Real Raleigh</a> last week. Charlotte's house is a treasure chest. Every piece comes with a story. Her effortless style is truly authentic, just like her. </div>

She recently opened up a store in Raleigh, <a href="http://www.unioncampcollective.com/">Union Camp Collective</a>. While Charlotte's style is impossible to replicate, she has something for everyone! </div>

We moved back in July and since that time we have not made a lot of changes to our new house. I <a href="http://horchata-jessieleigh.blogspot.com/2014/06/non-negotiable.html">stalked this house for a year and half</a> before we ended up going under contract. I knew that the first thing I wanted to do was paint it white. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my defense, I do love brick. Just very specific types of brick. Usually located in historic neighborhoods I cannot afford. This is the <a href="http://horchata-jessieleigh.blogspot.com/2013/07/painted-brick-houses-before-and-after.html">second house we painted</a> and I do not regret it for a second. </div>

After seeing <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/mario-buatta-patricia-altschul-charleston-south-carolina-home-slideshow#4">Patricia Altschul's</a> grand entry I started my own collection of vintage silhouettes. I needed something to hunt and I cannot fit another ginger jar in this house. </div>

My friend, Rachel introduced me to <a href="http://www.catherinejonesstudio.com/">Catherine Booker Jones</a>. I was immediately drawn to the urn groupings. They remind me of silhouettes and will stand the test of time. If you are local, <a href="http://annewagoner.com/">Anne Wagoner Interiors</a> is hosting <a href="http://www.catherinejonesstudio.com/">Catherine</a> on August 12th. </div>

This is my first blog post of 2016. I was pretty sure the blog was dead, until we started talking about starting a renovation. I ended up quitting my job unexpectedly when William was born. 2015 was all about being a Mom, while it was the best year of my life I was not very inspired. In the past couple months I have started taking on clients and finally decorating our house. I do not know what it is, but I am feeling like it is 2010 and I just discovered design blogs. Everything feels exciting and fresh.<br />
<br />
With all of this newfound excitement comes mania. Anyone who loves design probably knows the feeling. I cannot shut my brain off. I move things around our house on a daily basis. I make lists and lists of things to do. I make imaginary mood boards. Luckily, I have been able to get out some of my craziness on clients. There is still a lot left, so here I am.<br />

I am feeling a little nostalgic this morning.

This was such a special place and we had so many memories. I am not going to lie, remembering functioning appliances might be what is making me feel weepy. </div>

My friend Jessica gave me this <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/75cm2isgw">Bougie candle</a> as a housewarming gift and I am addicted. I love some expensive candles. No really, if someone offered me a Range Rover or 2,800 $30 candles... I am taking the candles. Little luxuries people. I am always trying new ones and this is the best one I have found in a long, long time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eBGRtKQApUs/VctFViyCQII/AAAAAAAAMpQ/mOPoE6akD24/s1600/unnamed-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eBGRtKQApUs/VctFViyCQII/AAAAAAAAMpQ/mOPoE6akD24/s640/unnamed-1.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it doesn't hurt when you are done you can use it to store things. Who knew q-tips could look so good. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever wondered how to clean out your old candles?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1)Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2) Cover a baking sheet in tin foil. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3) Stick your candle in upside down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4) Leave in the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the wick drops. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I highly recommend keeping an eye on it and scooping it out pretty quickly after the wick drops)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5) Let it cool and then wash it out with soapy water. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

We have been in our house for a little over a month now. I feel like we have been doing tons of work, but not really seeing the results. Air conditioners and cutting down trees really have a way of sucking all of the fun out of a new house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The list of projects for this house is a mile long and it can feel pretty overwhelming. The first thing on my list is working on the <a href="http://horchata-jessieleigh.blogspot.com/2013/03/10-ways-to-add-curb-appeal.html">curb appeal</a>. At this point, we just really need some instant gratification. I have gone back and forth about painting the brick. Our <a href="http://horchata-jessieleigh.blogspot.com/2013/07/painted-brick-houses-before-and-after.html">old house</a> was a no brainer. The <a href="http://horchata-jessieleigh.blogspot.com/2015/06/update-new-house.html">new house</a> has been a different story. I do not hate the brick at all and there is no going back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since my last post we have made a major life change. We left our little ranch that we put our blood, sweat and tears into for another fixer upper. I went back through my posts and <a href="http://horchata-jessieleigh.blogspot.com/2014/06/non-negotiable.html">saw this I wrote back in June. </a> It was about the house we ended up buying. After I wrote this post, the house went on the market. It sat for a while. In the meantime, we went under contract on two other houses that ended up not working out. This house was always in the back of my head. </div>

There is a lot of good. I am a sucker for a Williamsburg colonial. I see dormers and dentil molding- I melt. It is on a cul-de-sac in a great school district. Most importantly, it really feels like home to us. </div>
