Christmas 1914

December 17, 2018January 16, 2019 saavydesignsauburn2

While helping family members go through my deceased aunt’s belongings, my mother found a piece of filet crochet that said Christmas 1914.  She wasn’t positive which family member made it but still had it framed and gave it to me for Christmas.  It has gone on my wall every year since. The year 2014 was… Continue reading Christmas 1914

Tag-A-Longs

November 5, 2018December 12, 2019 saavydesignsauburn2

Tag-A-Longs I never met a Girl Scout cookie I didn’t like.  Samoas are my personal favorite, but Tag-A-Longs are in the running for second.  Cookies aren’t the only favorite with that name.  Kasmir has a Tag-A-Longs collection of fabrics containing several customer favorites. Why are Kasmir Tag-A-Longs so well liked? The patterns are smaller.  If… Continue reading Tag-A-Longs

The Rug Problem…Solved!

September 24, 2018December 12, 2019 saavydesignsauburn2

We had a problem.  Most folks have wood floors, and wood floors need rugs.  Rugs do so much.  They anchor a space, create conversation areas, help with noise, and feel good to bare feet.  Our problem was, we couldn't find the rugs we recommended.  What did we do?  We began searching for a vendor with… Continue reading The Rug Problem…Solved!

All Moved In

August 24, 2018October 12, 2018 saavydesignsauburn2

By Vonda Gordon, Design Assistant Three days, two colleges, two dorms...we were exhausted…physically, mentally, emotionally…I confess, I cried…more than once. But that is all another story.  The story here is mostly in pictures.  My girl’s room didn’t turn out like we planned.  There were bump outs for ductwork, electrical, etc. that made us create a… Continue reading All Moved In

Dorm Décor

July 6, 2018October 12, 2018 saavydesignsauburn2

by Vonda Gordon, Design Assistant When I was expecting my twins, I discovered two firmly entrenched nursery decorating camps.  One group created beautiful, magazine-worthy rooms.  The others had very practical, austere spaces.  Both were totally in love with their little ones and neither were a good fit for me.  I wanted a room that looked… Continue reading Dorm Décor

The House We Didn’t Decorate

April 16, 2018October 12, 2018 saavydesignsauburn2

By: Vonda Gordon, Design Assistant A couple of years ago we met with the nicest young couple who had just moved to Auburn from out of state.  They had a baby girl and a lot of hand-me-down apartment furniture.  It was time to upgrade to a grown-up look. We discovered their likes, dislikes, ideas and… Continue reading The House We Didn’t Decorate

by Vonda Gordon, Design Assistant Sometimes you have so many choices, you just can’t decide.  That happens all the time with fabric.  Here are some tips to help you.

I Didn’t Know

February 16, 2018October 12, 2018 saavydesignsauburn2

What do we… Continue reading I Didn’t Know

Granny’s Chair

January 10, 2018October 12, 2018 saavydesignsauburn2

by Vonda Gordon, Design Assistant Like so many people, family members give us furniture we would never choose for ourselves.  Our most recent acquisition is an Early American chair from the 1960’s or 70’s.  It came from my husband’s grandmother.  We received the matching loveseat when we got married.  My husband remembered sitting on that… Continue reading Granny’s Chair
