Pulp Custom: Fly Mural

We just had to pop in and show off a sneak peel of this amazing mural that our design assistant painted in her free time for one of our Pulp clients! You may also remember, the amazing painting she did for our Thrift Studio installation??

We can’t wait to show you the rest of the space when it’s complete…

But, for now… big hats off to the super talented Heather Morrow, artist extraordinare! If you’re in Dallas and needs something amazing painted, let us know and we’ll connect you.

 

Decorative Hardware for Everyday Furniture

 

Carolina and I are now contributing to the new site, MegBiram.com. You may remember Meg from her popular blog, Mimi+Meg, or from a recent PULP Design Duel (in which both ladies later teamed up to create, To & From Magazine).

Read our first post on MegBiram.com! We’re showing how to make your space more unique using hardware to update everyday pieces.

 

We also featured our brand new Pulp Home starburst pull, available now on pre-order!

 

Enjoy!!

 

(And, stay tuned…. we’ll be doing a giveaway tomorrow for a little something special from PulpHome.com)

The Perfect Elopement: Our Contributor Millermae Gets Hitched!

You know our new fashion contributor (and good friend), Millermae? Well, I think it’s pretty evident in her bridal portraits, by Dallas photographer Heather Hawkins, why we love her…. All her choices were flawless!

She wore a covetable Monique Lhuillier gown from Neiman Marcus. The florals were from our friends at Bows and Arrows. Her shoes were Badgley Mischka. And, her jewelry choices were personal with a custom ring and her Grandmother’s earrings.

We are so happy for our dear friend who met the love of her life and tied the knot in a personal way. They ran away (with their family’s blessing, of course) to Big Sur’s Post Ranch Inn on (and in memory of) her late-dad’s birthday.

You can see the rest of her bridal portraits on HeatherHawkinsPhoto.com.

And, Mrs. Millermae, you still have me drooling over your honeymoon instagrams

Congrats, you two!

postcards from Dallas…

I just returned from another trip back to Pulp’s motherland, Dallas, to receive an award for our company. We decided to extend the trip to a more than week-long stay so we could celebrate the holiday with family. It was really great to spend some time there, see old friends, enjoy family, and attend some client meetings that I’ve been missing. After a much needed break for our entire team, I’m back with a quick photo-recap of our time away…

 

01: Got to ride a brand new plane on it’s first non-test flight! // 02: Attended a Pulp Design Studios presentation for our new restaurant client. // 03: Benefit to having a restaurant client… You get to dine while presenting. // 04: Later than night, Carolina and I had some pre-award gala drinks. // 05: Carolina and I were presented the Rising Star in Interior Design award from Fashion Group International. We were stunned and grateful for the huge production they put on. // 06: Our new office addition. // 07: Went to see the long anticipated finale to the Twilight Series the following morning… A not-so-guilty pleasure of mine! // 08: Cooking up my favorite Grown-Up Mac & Cheese recipe for Thanksgiving. // 09: Post-feast snuggles on Turkey Day, surrounded by family. // 10: Seeing cousins bond, like cousins do… The best. // 11: Got into the holiday spirit after seeing Santa before we left for the airport. A great way to get ourselves pumped for our first holiday season in Seattle.

 

How was your Thanksgiving break??

On The Install: A Modern Art-Centric Abode

Some of our Pulp Design Studios clients need everything (plus the kitchen sink) to furnish their home. It can be incredibly fun to have a blank canvas to design with… But, there are also some clients who have impecable taste, love to collect, and want to bring us in to elevate their style. We help them bring it all together in a way that takes their space to the next level of beauty and function. That’s where this client comes in…

We love how this client’s modern home is coming along!

So, what type are you??

Do you have everything you need and just need to pull it together? Or, do you want to just start from scratch?
