PSI Design Mention in The Green Scene

studio — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:58:15 +0000

PSI was recently mentioned in The Inside Source’s featured story The Green Scene. Our ceiling tile wall series was featured as a great way to incorporate every day items into wall decor. Be sure to read the full story here. Thanks for the mention, Marni!

“I always like to mingle vintage or antique objects into a room, especially if they are everyday objects. They have a unique sense of character and charm that you just can’t get from new pieces. The key is to train your eye to find the extraordinary in the ordinary.”

- Adrian Truluck, principal designer, on incorporating vintage finds within her work.

PSI Mention in CHARLIE

Thanks for the mention from CHARLIE, Charleston’s go-to online source for progressive culture and happenings. In the Winter Warm Up article they suggest surviving the winter with a Pine Cone Hill throw available at PSI, and we couldn’t agree more. We loved all of the local suggestions…you’ll definitely want to read them all.

And The Winner Is…

The winner of the 2010 Bloomingdale’s Big Window Challenge has finally been announced, and we love the results…

1st Place: ELLE DECOR

The Modern Woman, designed by Eddie Ross for ELLE DECOR

2nd Place: Apartment Therapy

The Writer’s Romantic Supper, designed by Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan

3rd Place: Bloomingdale’s

The Urbane Traveler, designed by Eileen Joyce

Thanks to all of our readers who weighed in on their favorites for our reader poll. Here’s what you voted for…

3rd Place: Apartment Therapy

The bold wallpaper of this room isn’t for everyone, but the funky style of this Apartment Therapy design placed 2nd in the Big Window Challenge.

2nd Place: ELLE DECOR

You loved the bright colors and ornate coffee table, but the influx of “stuff” in the room turned some of you away. This design by Eddie Ross is a mix of classic and modern meant for a modern woman. An appealing interior to appreciate, but from your comments, some would rather admire from a distance.

And Our Reader Winner Is… Bloomingdale’s

Most of you said you could picture this design by Eileen Joyce in your home, and we had a feeling this would be the winner. The simple, stylish New York City inspired room looks comfortable and inviting, a room that most of you said you picture yourself living in.

Comment below to let us know what you think of the results!

The reasons to celebrate in 2010 keep coming. We’re delighted to have Allison join the PSI team as Studio Coordinator Intern. A recent graduate from Wake Forest and previous event-planning intern for local wedding planner Kristin Newman, Allison has a passion for interior design, impeccable taste and an urge to gain experience and knowledge within the industry. She’s been a wonderful addition thus far, and it never hurts to add a brunette into the mix.
