Amy Pleasant at Marjorie Johnston & Co.

We are having a special event at Marjorie Johnston this week! Amy Pleasant is an artist from Birmingham who shows her work all over the country. Her works are simply enchanting!  The majority of her work centers around ink figures.  Each figure tells its own story or shares a series of events. Each work is more special than the next.  The work will be up for the next 2 weeks.  We can't wait to see you here! 

We have especially loved her inspiration board seen in the picture below.  When we first met with Amy in her studio, we fell in love with the inspiration board in her studio. We all instantly knew that this would be a wonderful thing to incorporate in the art show.  We love seeing how these figures translate into her bigger works.  

Check out the pictures of her work and our opening party below.

Katherine's Loving Lately

Hey y'all,

My name is Katherine, and I am the newest member of Marjorie Johnston & Co. I am a graduate of Mountain Brook High School and Vanderbilt University. At Vanderbilt, I studied English, Art History, and Design.  I was drawn to interior design because it combines several areas of life that I find intriguing-- art, design, people, and business.  Moreover, I am fascinated with design and the power to create. I am captured with the idea of transforming environments into spaces that reflect their inhabitants and purposes.  I have always loved homes because they are where we all learn, celebrate, rest, love, and grow. I hope that my love of home translates into my work as I work with you to create a space that reflects who you are. I believe your home should reflect those who live within it.  It should be your sanctuary and always make you peaceful.

All that said, I wanted to share what i'm loving lately for Fall.  Fall is the best season in my opinion, and I love all the products, foods, and activities associated with this time of year.  This Fall I've been focusing on layering textures and colors.  I am particularly drawn to deep burgundy, tan, grey, leather, wool, and metal. I love how these colors, textures, and weights play off of each other.  And last but not least, perhaps my favorite thing for Fall right now, is the white pumpkin.  Put these on your mantle, centerpiece, or porch and it instantly says "happy fall."

If you like any of these items or have any questions please contact me at Katherine@mhjinteriors.com  Items 1, 4, 5, 8, and 12 can all be purchased at Marjorie Johnston and Co.

Our 3 Year Anniversary!

Three years ago today, we opened our design shop, Marjorie Johnston & Co. and Jojo Home, at 2841 Culver road.  It has been a wonderful 3 years filled with so much joy for our team. We are so honored to have worked with so many of you and visited with you inside our shop. Thank you to all of you for your gracious support over the past three years... And we look with excitement to the years to come!!

Loving Lately-- Lighting

We recently discovered one of the coolest lighting companies EVER. Lighting is perhaps our favorite element of any room, but it is also one of the trickiest things to get right.  All the lights below are from a new company that we are smitten with. We love the different finishes of these lights as well as their unique shapes.  Please call 205-414-7860 or email katherine@mhjinteriors.com with any questions!

Fall Inspiration

FALL is here...

Fall might be Marjorie Johnston & Co.'s favorite season.  We are inspired by the coziness and the colors of Fall.  This Fall especially we love white, green, yellow, orange, brown, and purple & lots of textures.  This is casual living with beautiful Fall things. The crispness in the air has us itching to put on worn leather boots and large orange scarves. Below are just a few of the images that have inspired our Fall palette. 

Loving for fall:

Suede lug soled boots
