CANVAS INTERIORS LATELY: FEATHER YOUR NEST WITH OUR SUMMER SALE

The Canvas Interiors Summer Sale is in full swing and you can shop it from afar by going to our website 'clearance' section.  

Some are floor models (final sale), some overstock, some discontinued items.  A few of my personal favorites are on sale like the Rachel table (named after watching far too much E! TV where I noticed a certain celebrity stylist has this in her bedroom) and the Wilson bar cart (named after friends who do a flawless cocktail party).  

All of these goodies below are included in the sale so pop on over to the website or visit the Jacksonville, Altamonte Sprints or Winter Park (FL) locations if you see something you like. 

Feel free to email hello@canvasinteriors with any questions and our lovely design consultants will get back to you asap.  




SUMMER HOURS

Back in the day when I worked full time in ad-land, we had 'summer Fridays' and even 'summer hours'. Both involved a shorter work day. Which was funny because we worked til 10pm most other days.

I am definately putting myself on my own summer clock these days and I have to say it is rather nice. Sometimes slowing down makes more room for creativity. Hard to do when you are a deadline driven producer type. Uh huh. 

I'm playing with some fun and inspiring things like marketing for Canvas Interiors, helping a friend with some creative stuff and thinking about new paths for the blog. I'm working on some India Hicks event ideas for the store. Oddly, keeping summer hours is allowing me to have a few things going all at once.  I'm percolating and creating.  In bare feet I might add. 

Here is a quick peek at our trip to Harbour Island last week. Years of memories for us continue forward now for our littles. That is a beautiful thing. 


PS: upper right - that is a Goombay Smash in a Tervis which matches my India Hicks Flamingo tassel  perfectly don't you think? 




TAKE IT EASY

I am taking a little breather this week, slowing things down and spending time with family and friends. I'll be on Instagram if you want to follow along and see what I'm up to!

In the meantime if you feel like shopping, here are a few cover ups like the one above



CANVAS INTERIORS LATELY

We moved in to our new and 3rd location earlier this year and instantly fell in love with our surroundings. It all made sense. The light is gorgeous, the garage doors and unfinished nature of the space is just how we envisioned it pre-construction. If you tuned in a while back you may have seen some of these construction photos...


From that to present day has been an exciting ride.  I'm feeling a little nostalgic today so thought I would share. The image above was taken about a year ago.


We are feeling creative and inspired and can't wait to share more with you over the coming months.

CANVASSTYLE GET PACKING

As I mentioned last week, our trip to Harbour Island is right around the corner. You probably know by now that it is a place of happy times for us. Made happier by the people we have met along the way, including the ever so inspiring India Hicks. It is with pleasure that I join her in her new venture as an India Hicks Style Ambassador.  We feature her products in Canvas Interiors and have hosted a couple of fantastic parties filled with friends and of course wine. As we pack for our trip I am happily including quite a few IH goodies. 

My go to travel formula has always included a few maxi dresses. They have been my uniform (and you know how I like uniforms) for many a summer and they never fail me. I highly recommend finding one or two go-to dresses to beat the summer heat. Such an easy thing to throw on and breeze out the door.  

Here are a few of my favs (you all know about the 'magic dress by now') but here my friends is a snakeskin version! I am also loving the 'convertible' dress right now. Remember the Sundry one they don't make any more that I mourned? I found a suitable replacement below. 




Add some colorful bits (I am currently obsessed with my India Hicks Flamingo Agra Tassel as it is just the right amount of color commitment for me) and you have instant summer.  

And as the IH Love Token says, its time to 'get lost' in life's big adventure.  I'll be slowing down the posts for a couple of weeks but in the meantime I will be on Instagram so if you would like to find me and follow along in Harbour Island please do!  

I want to soak up every minute without deadlines. Which means leaving the computer state-side. Find me on Instagram here and to shop more of the India Hicks collection you can find me here


SHOPPING LIST:


snakeskin dress  |  white 'convertible' dress  |  black maxi (beach cover up but throw on a slip and it doubles for dinner out)

To learn more about India's new business venture visit her site, look around and explore the possibilities. I can promise you she is passionate, real and totally invested emotionally in what she is doing and I am inspired by here energy. 

Now time for a Goombay Smash. 




CANVAS INTERIORS LATELY: HARBOUR ISLAND COLLECTION

As you will see in the coming days I have Harbour Island on the brain. We are counting down to our departure and the familiar feeling of happy toes in that sand cannot get here soon enough.  In the meantime there is much work to be done. So I'm indulging my excitement about our trip by tying it together with our Canvas Interiors Harbour Island Collection.

From its inception our brand was born with a personality. We are not just a computer warehouse selling furniture.  We really do live and breath Canvas Interiors and have a strong desire to create a lasting brand.  We want you to be able to feel something when you shop with us. Thus our 'shop your style' was born. It was a way for us to add a filter for you that might make your shopping experience easier. A sense of story, a sense of place.  Maybe you can identify with a feeling or a memory when you look at our collections.  Hopefully it ignites a creative spark that helps you design your spaces.

Here is how to find the 'shop your style' collections: 


And to indulge my excitement I'm sharing a few goodies from our Harbour Island collection.  This collection is light and breezy.  It has a touch of tradition with an eclectic global mix.  

Add a giant votive of sand from your favorite beach and put it on our Casablanca coffee table for instant island style.  Add  bits of color with pillows and throws and you have it. Ahhhhhhh. 










CANVASSTYLE UNIFORM

It has been a whirlwind here chez K with the end of the school year screeching to a halt, birthdays, lacrosse tournaments and black tie affairs (thus the lack of posts). Some of these activities were doubled up on the same day, some were back to back days and nights running into days.  

My survival guide at times like this is a uniform. Must be my all girls school uniform upbringing but it works. Boring? Maybe. But sanity-preserving - absolutely.

The best example of this was getting from a hot as hell Lacrosse tournament to a Black Tie affair and getting dressed in 30 minutes (yes I showered).

Uniform 1: Lacrosse tournament





Presto change-o:


Uniform 2:  Black Tie shindig




I find if I keep it simple and stick to my tried and true style, anything is possible. 
Including dancing in heels. 


Deep Dive

I am finding with extra time at home I am becoming more of a shopping sleuth. I have shopped on Amazon forever, but never really for 'fa...
