Stylist Secrets | Anatomy of a Shelf
Whether we are creating displays in the shop, in the photo studio, or in our homes, we follow a few simple rules.
Our Love Affair with Chairs
For me, dining chairs have always been the quiet heroes of a room. A dining chair can signal a design era, and can be a small to medium sized investment that packs a lovely punch in a well-designed room.
Rituals | The Christmas Tree
The Elsie Green team all agrees that Black Friday shopping is a no-go. Instead we all use that day to do some volunteer work, then choose our trees.
Collectors at Heart | Vintage Silver
We think the secret to creating a good collection is in not just amassing something in volume, but in collecting individual pieces you appreciate for their unique qualities. Often we'll find one of the shop girls going through each christening cup in a large bin, admiring back stamps and monograms.
Elsie Green Must-Haves | The Moroccan Basket
It's no secret that Moroccan baskets are one of our favorite Elsie Green essentials. They're the absolute best. They're perfect for storing blankets or linens, laundry or picnics, just about...
Atelier Rae | A Conversation with Rae Dunn
Every day is different at Elsie Green. And some of our favorite days are when we are invited into a beautiful home to scout for a photo shoot or to consult on a design project.
Tree Trimming Basics
JP is the expert, but I've picked up some tricks for decorating the tree from my prop stylist friends over the years that help make the process go fairly smoothly.
Foraged Flora | Kelsey's Botanical Guide
Each of our Elsie Green team members has a hidden talent. Kelsey's is floral design. She effortlessly puts together pretty, loose and organic arrangements around the shop, and always knows which botanicals dry gracefully, and which are best to put up high in the shop because they're low maintenance.
Summer Sparkle | Decor for a Relaxed Season
Decor in the summer is all about sparkling mirrors, a spot to hang your swimsuit, a basket for your sandals, and a place to tuck your summer mementos.
Our Fall Botanical Guide
Fall branches and leaves. We love them. All of the Elsie Green shop girls have clippers and a sharp eye for a beautiful branch of fall leaves, apple branches, or fruiting olives.
