Artist We Love: Rachel Rogers
The stars aligned the day we discovered the work of San Francisco-based artist, Rachel Rogers. After ooh-ing and ahh-ing at her website portfolio, we were officially head over heels for her custom crests, stationery & invitations. Her whimsical & playful designs are simply irresistible – so it’s no surprise that her work has caught the eye […]

Color of the Moment: Yellow
We’re unabashedly obsessed with color & it seems we have a new favorite every week. Normally yellow isn’t something we gravitate to but lately we’ve been seeing it pop up in unexpected and chic ways. Like the cheery Presidio Heights breakfast nook designed by Palmer Weiss (see below) or the abundance of daffodils flooding the […]

Hurry Down the Chimney Tonight!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Who doesn’t LOVE the holidays? Sure they can be a tad stressful but in the end it’s all about spending time with family, relaxing, and of course decking the halls with all sorts of festive decor. One of my favorite parts is shopping for chic gifts for […]

Pantone 2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid
Well hello there, perfect shade of pretty pastel pinky-purple. Last week Pantone announced the 2014 Color of the Year and the award goes to (drumroll) “Radiant Orchid”! We weren’t sure anything could top last years malachite-esque green but this comes dangerously close. We’re absolutely loving the new “it” hue and can’t wait to start incorporating it […]

Playing Favorites: Our Must-Have Coffee Table Books
A design-loving gal can never have enough coffee table books. Not only are they a necessity when creating chic vignettes around your abode but they can also be quite informative and inspiring if you actually read them. All (4) of us at Hillary Thomas are major collectors and always trying to get our hands the […]

The Power of Pink
One color we can’t seem to stop thinking about lately (or designing with) is pink. Coral, hot pink, light pink, blush, fuschia, we can’t stop! (And we won’t stop…). We love it paired with kelly green for a Palm Beach chic vibe, or navy blue for a nautical look that’s a little naughty. You don’t need […]

We’re Loving: Watercolor Wallpaper
You know how designers always say “You can do wonders with a fresh coat of paint”? We think that a few fresh rolls of wallpaper can put your paint to shame any day. Honestly, is there anything better than a quirky and colorful wallpapered powder room? Say no more. While we’ll always love Scalamandre’s classic […]

Catalog Chic: The Best for Less
The “granny” side in us can’t help but get excited every time a fresh new catalog arrives in our office. We don’t even request them (swear!) but somehow the likes of Wisteria, Ballard Designs and Pottery Barn always find their way to our mail slot and we’re sure glad they do. More often than not we […]

My Go-To Hues
As a decorator, one thing I’m always getting asked is “What color is that?”. I hate to disappoint but I am not a walking paint fan (although that would be pretty snazzy!), and I don’t always have my Benjamin Moore sku numbers memorized to spew off at the drop of a straw hat. Like any […]

C’est La Vivian Ducas!
Vivian Ducas’ cheery watercolor patterns first caught our attention while perusing Spoonflower, a terribly addicting website which sells unique printed fabrics from hundreds of different artists. The colors, the patterns, the “imperfect perfection” of all her work was right up our alley! We quickly ordered dozens of swatches for our library and decided to reach […]
