Here it is - my curated list of gifts from The Pep Line for Christmas 2022!

Happy gift - giving!

In one of my very first Pep Talks, I discussed mixing design styles. With so much more inspiration coming at us daily (hello Instagram feed!), it is only naturally that we find ourselves attracted to varying styles. Seeing how other people style their homes encourages us to step out of our comfort zone and incorporate items we love rather than just trying to match decor. For me, I’ve always incorporated elements of traditional decor in my installs…and in my own personal home! Here are a few reasons why and a couple tips for trying it yourself!

Do you love all of The Pep Line products, but have no idea how to style them in your home? Do you have shelves, counters & tables that are sitting empty because you are terrified of ‘doing it all wrong’? Would you love for Shannon from Peppeard Design to show up at your doorstep with a car full of pillows, furniture, rugs, baskets, art, pottery & lamps? Then the Pep Van Styling Sessions are for you!

With the launch of the Pep Line, I couldn’t think of a better Pep Talk than pillows!  As a designer, I love throw pillows.  They can instantly change a room and not only serve as décor, but also functionality. However, with the abundant number of options on the market, it’s easy to become overwhelmed shopping for the perfect pillows.  Here are a couple rules of thumb I tend to shop by.

See what I did there…I didn’t even use that word (ahem, wallpaper).  I’ve learned better.  After years of raised eyebrows and hesitations, I’ve learned better.  Wallpaper has a bad rap, and truth be told, I get it.  I’ve been part of many remodels where we remove the 80’s fruit border from the kitchen or the burgundy with gold pin dot in the bathroom.  But let’s face facts…wallpaper has come a long way and it’s time to embrace it!
