Even though we're still a few months away from being ready to move into our new CurlyRed office, we've been dreaming of decor that compliments CurlyRed's style AND the beautiful historic architecture of the old Republican newspaper building. Perhaps a pinup-covered coffee table paired with some lux velvet curtains? A mid-century desk and a funky […]

We love the colors, sounds and smells of spring. And yet, since our CurlyRed office is located in the frozen tundra of Maryland—it's been snowing here today, yes, today—the 19th day of April. So to help us not want to throw something, we've created this Pinterest board of flowers, spring-inspired clothing and accessories, typefaces, an […]

We had moved into a truly spectacular home. It's in excellent condition and has so many interesting architectural elements and Victorian charm. We knew when we bought it that there were a few cosmetic changes we would want to make, but we’re handy folks and ready for the challenge. This winter we began our first […]

Is anyone else just in love with the Amazon series “Z: The Beginning of Everything”? Christina Ricci and David Hoflin (playing Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald) are both magical and compelling. It’s just so easy to get wrapped up in their lives: the fashion, the art deco style, the blissful words they wrote, the jazz […]

So you might be sick of hearing how awesome Hamilton is (it seems like everyone on the interwebs are bussing about this musical)—but seriously, it's so very good. And unlike most trending topics, Hamilton is worth all of the buzz. We haven't gotten a chance to see it on stage yet, but have listened to […]

We are overwhelmed with thankfulness this year (as we tend to be around this time). But there are so many things to be grateful for! Spending time and sharing meals with family is at the top of our list. At CurlyRed, we are working hard to finish up some projects and then heading off to […]

(Disclaimer: yes, we KNOW we haven't done a "Monthly Pinterest" since May—for those of you who were keeping track. Let's just say we've been hard at work/our brains are on summer vacation mode!) For us, August means two things: beaches and birthdays. CurlyRed's president and principal designer, Kendall, celebrates on the 23rd and her youngest […]

So as much as we love the Ravens, the Baltimore Orioles have always had a special place in our heart. Oh no, here at CurlyRed there are no “fair weather fans.” As nice as it is to have the O's playing so well after such a long dry spell, we've always enjoyed going to the […]
