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.

Another six months have passed since the last Market (can you believe that?!) and team LED braved the crowds and rainy downpour for Winter Market a few weeks ago. We’re bringing our ten favorite market moments to you! So sit back and enjoy from the comfort of your home or office, we’ll spare you the blisters of walking miles and miles to see everything.

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 are well into the new year now, would you say that you kicked it off with a nice, clean “blank” slate? As much as I plan ahead and make my lists, somehow I don’t ever feel like I can hit the ground running on January 1. From holiday hangovers {aka food comas} to refusing to take down festive decorations {no judging, my tree is still up}, the task of organizing your life {for me it’s the office} can be daunting. All I have to say is… GET IT TOGETHER! 🙃

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?

Last month we had the opportunity of guest blogging for Lexington Home Brands, a special company that we share many values with. Their passion lies in creating beautiful furnishings which not only serve as statement pieces, but have some pretty unique features if you ask us. If you can appreciate great design and never ending inspiration, you too will be a lover of Lexington’s creations.

Phew! High Point Market was another busy week in the design world. With 11.5 million square feet of showroom space, there was an unlimited amount of new things to see and be excited about. We’ve compressed those 11.5 million square feet into 10 of our market favorites, just for you.

What an exciting week it has been! First off, I had a  M A J O R  interview with a potential client… I should know their decision of working together by next week. Fingers crossed because this will be a fun one! Second, my new iPhone 6s arrived in a pretty little box this Friday morning (need I say more?)! And last but not least, the most exciting part of my week….. I was selected by HGTV as one of twelve finalists in the Big City Digs category of the ‪Fresh Faces‬ of Design competition! EEEEEK! I can’t even begin to explain the flood of happy emotions I’m experiencing.

For most of the country, temperatures have been dropping since late August. For us Las Vegans it’s still in the 80’s. Nonetheless, Fall is just around the corner… this coming Wednesday to be exact. With the change in seasons comes a natural shift in design. Here at APJ we have an idea of which trends should make their way into your home and those that will fade away with summer! Wanna know how? I wish I could say it’s because we’re psychic, but we’re not (boo!). It might have something to do with our huge appetite for design (hello my name is Lisa, I am addicted to Pinterest & Instagram), or possibly it’s because we attended the always popular seminar “Ahead of the Curve” during Las Vegas Market last month…
