Yep, it's that time of year again! Can you believe it? No...but seriously, can you? The holiday season is upon us once again, and I hope you're all just as excited as us here at GHID! Being that Thanksgiving is next week, we decided to share a few pointers on how to best dress your table-top this holiday season, along with a few gorgeous tablescapes photos (a few of which are GHID designed). Here goes... 1. Tablescaping is not just for one particular style of decor. I've heard it said that "the approach you take to [design] your grouping should be in sync with your [existing] style...

Boston, part two...*ACTION. For our clients living room, they wanted more of a casual, sophisticated look - an aesthetic that drew them to GHID. Living and great room spaces are really the hub of every home, a place where a bowl of ice cream and popcorn while watching a movie shouldn't be feared, but welcomed and in the end, expected. And GHID expects that...that's why - just like this Boston project - when we design spaces such as this, we make sure to utilize the most durable, practical textiles and frames for those 'uh-oh' moments...

Teal & Purple were my favorite colors when I was a little girl...my first bike was purple, and I'm almost sure I had a pair of hot pink and teal LA Gears.  Like most things in life, these two colors are coming full circle, and are en vogue once again.

I can't believe October is almost over.  Hasn't the weather been amazing? For all of us native Oregonians, I know I speak for all of us when I say the sun was an added blessing this month.

We here at Garrison Hullinger Interior Design LOVE LINEN.  We don't know if it's because we live in the pacific northwest and have that infamous natural appreciation for all things rustic? Or is it the sense of coziness you get walking into a linen clad room?  Maybe it's a mix of both?  (Did we mention that it comes in pretty much in any color imaginable!)  Primarily we love linen because it is what it is.  It's supremely organic and comes in a wide variety of prints (although, pinstripes might be our favorite). It is soft, textural, and works with any look, whether contemporary or traditional....
