These items are always circulating in the market and can come in very good condition. You can mix and match styles, even venturing into conference tables if you require a large setup. Dining chairs are relatively easy to refinish with painting, staining, changing the seat cover fabric or adding chair cushions. I found this beautiful set made of real mahogany. I love the claw feet details on the table and chairs. https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/ruth-amp-brians-cozy-primary-bedroom-merbr monthly 0.5 2024-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/1740498349950-6577E5MQ0M8J29UQ2UEW/IMG_8516.PNG Journal -

Deeply veined marbles are seen more in kitchens as a slab backsplash or as a fireplace mantle. Porcelain tiles that look like marble are an affordable and durable option for bathrooms. Travertine and marble tiles are sophisticated options for flooring. You can create beautiful geometric designs with stone tiles in your foyer and main bathroom for a timeless look. You can also add stone decor pieces in your home like sculptures, busts, bookends, jars and pedestals. Because they come from nature, stone decor add both stability and softness in your spaces. I look forward to working more with stone tables of all kinds - dining, coffee side tables as well as tools. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/1743970676723-DSSPVYVT791KL7XQ9ETB/unsplash-image-bmNkn10ST2s.jpg Journal - 2023 Home Trends to Inspire You - Going antiquing Antiquing and thrifting have become hugely popular nowadays. The need for affordable, quality and readily available furniture has driven folks to garage and estate sales, thrift stores and an ever growing digital treasure trove of pre-loved pieces. From sites like 1stDibs, Chairish and One Kings Lane to sellers on Etsy, FaceBook Marketplace and Instagram, there’s more options than ever before for finding pre-loved pieces. This includes hardware, and fixtures like lighting and fireplace mantles! These items add charm and character to your home and you can expect them to continue to stand the test of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/1743970535238-1AN2NJE0Z0KELD3UASYO/unsplash-image-QUM12j93PPc.jpg Journal - 2023 Home Trends to Inspire You - Going dark and moody Dark and moody colors have been trending for quite some time. They have a way of making your art, greenery and furniture pop while accentuating rich textiles like velvet and silk. You can go dark in any space as long as you have carefully considered natural and artificial light sources. This trend goes well with the monochromatic trend. Painting walls, trim and doors the same dark color can give your space effortless coziness and sophistication. The elements are kept cohesive by sticking to a minimal color story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/1743970915980-WQLS8GHAU3B0TZV35DYB/unsplash-image-BPPHG7OWf5s.jpg Journal - 2023 Home Trends to Inspire You - Going for the fifth wall I believe the ceiling, or 5th wall is just as important as the four walls in a space. A well designed ceiling helps ground your space or elevate it depending on the need. It’s an opportunity to add expertly crafted trim work, vaulting, wallpaper or a color that complements the walls. The placement and style of your lighting help guide your options with designing your ceiling. By designing your fifth wall, you help the eye travel seamlessly throughout your space. https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/our-winter-wedding-nt4fx monthly 0.5 2025-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/1740498350486-9WWYB2TUXVZ5QENJMLTQ/A7207233.JPG Journal - Our dark and romantic winter wedding - Feeling regal The bride poses outside the church, just after the ceremony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/1740498350632-VZIF9JUHOE5ACH3V2B6X/CardDesign.jpeg Journal - Our dark and romantic winter wedding - Invitations Our invitations matched our free wedding website thanks to Zola. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/1740498350613-1K7WPSJROPD8IG839MTK/Brian+Steinmetz1.jpeg Journal - Our dark and romantic winter wedding - The groom We knew this was the jacket and matched it with the groomsmen's ties and pocket squares.

We had a mix of rock-and-roll, hip-hop, R&B (of course!), and some traditional African beats. With such an eclectic guest list, the DJ had his hands full! For dessert, we wanted to provide the many kids with a variety of cupcake options, as you can see here. The kids loved it and many adults also had one with their after-dinner tea and coffee. The cake itself was melt-in-your-mouth gooey-delish chocolate orange mousse with jam filling. After cake and coffee, it was time to feel all the feelings when the Best Man and Maid of Honor gave their speeches. After that, the Bride tossed her bouquet and it was time for another round of dancing! https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Vermont monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Design monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Local+guide monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Favorite+Things monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Health monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Real+Estate monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Moving monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Lifestyle monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Recipes monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Seller%27s+Guide monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Selling+your+home monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/category/Nature+Inspired monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/Vermont monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/new+home monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/pro+tip monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/Ruth%27s+favorite+things monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/green+space monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/tips monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/botanical monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/Winter monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/buying+guide monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/home+furnishings monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/thrifted+living monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/Lifestyle monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/home+buying monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/favorite+things monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/moving monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/new+apartment monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/7+Tips+%26+Tricks+for+an+Easy+Move monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/thrift+home+decor monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/biophilic+design monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/move monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/dwellness monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/nature monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/real+estate monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/tricks monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/your+move monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/For+Sale+by+Owner monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/Recipes monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/furnishing+your+home monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/journal/tag/FSBO monthly 0.5 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/the-dwellness-channel daily 0.75 2025-05-01 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/about daily 0.75 2025-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/78da9a27-c7c4-4d05-9bda-c7110111b19f/Ruth+Profile.jpg https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/thank-you daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67bde58c894b1f0b62ae75ac/35b3a943-01ee-4e57-9007-52838329d575/Steinmetz+interiors+logo+resized.png https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2025-04-06 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/home daily 1.0 2025-09-11 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/services daily 0.75 2025-08-06 https://www.steinmetzinteriors.com/virtual-package daily 0.75 2025-09-19
