This year, in honor of WithIt’s 20^th anniversary, student educational scholarships were awarded to women studying to be a part of the design industry. One of these recipients was our youngest team member, Hannah Carlton. This June, she had the pleasure of being flown out to the WithIt 2017 Annual Professional Women’s Conference for the Home and Furnishings Industries, in Charleston, SC. Here she had the opportunity to listen to many keynote speakers, given by influential women in the industry. The impressive list included Eleanor Beaton, President and CEO of Impact & Influence for Women, Carol Sankar, author of The Confidence Factor For Women in Business, Lynne Jensen-Nelson, Conversion-omics Sales Training, and many more influential interior designers, decorators and home furnishing industry icons.

Have you caught the decorating bug? It’s always the same story. Once you start planning out a new project, you suddenly start to see elements in other rooms that you’d like to change too. Do you really have the time and ability to decorate more than one room at a time?

Every year HD Expo comes to Vegas, and we get to go! This hospitality design event brings the newest and greatest hospitality and commercial design products together. Just like we do during Las Vegas Market, we gathered together our favorite parts of the show.

Earlier this month, our entire team attended the groundbreaking of the Las Vegas Showcase House benefiting the Core Academy. It was so exciting to walk through the house and imagine what it will begin to transform into starting NOW! As a design team, it was also a privilege to interact with visitors who stopped by to see our plans for the master bedroom and master bath in Las Vegas’ historic Scotch 80s area.

Las Vegas Market boasts of wonderful events, happening parties and of course great design. We told you about our team’s favorite moments of LVMKT here, but we definitely need to elaborate on the amazing opportunity Lisa had to speak as part of the WithIt panel featuring social media celebrities at the Somerton Dwelling showroom at Las Vegas Market earlier this month. As a team, we’ve attended some pretty fantastic events hosted by The Media Matters – one being a farm to table dinner at the Woodard Furniture showroom along with elite editors from various publications during High Point Market last April.

Every six months the world’s most popular and upcoming design brands make the trip to Las Vegas to showcase the newest and greatest products. We’re so lucky to be right in the center of it all! Market was stunning (as usual!) with a plethora of new vendors, trends and stylish décor we can’t wait to show you! So we won’t… here are #TeamLED’s Top 10 Summer Market Moments!

We’re grateful we attended High Point Market in High Point, North Carolina last week! We hope that you can live vicariously through our team here at All Por Ju as we bring to you highlights of the trip and share some amazing vendors we spent some QT with.

We’ve talked a lot about color this year! From our Feng Shui tips on our Instagram #AskAPJ posts, to our forecast about trendsetting colors for the upcoming seasons. As usual, we got yo’ back APJ readers! We’re going to make it easy for you, here’s a refresher course:

Last month we introduced Mallory Dawn of Ice Cream and Cupcakes, the ultra talented multimedia artist. You can catch up HERE if you missed the interview. We’re always inspired by our Confident. Fearless. Inspired. guests and Mallory is no exception, so we’ve created a special space just for her. We imagine this is where she’d kick up her feet after a long and creative paint sesh… enjoy the coziness {PS we totally need the fur hammock too!} and be inspired by all of the feminine elements. When admiring her portfolio, we couldn’t help but notice the strong presence of  ladylike delicacy in her art, so why not embrace it with her Dream Space?! What do you think Mallory, could you see yourself relaxing here?
