Also, I have a few on-site interior design projects for Poplin & Queen that require all my focus and attention. What does this mean for you? Pictures to [...]

Pleased to Introduce You to Poplin & Queen
Today we’re all on holiday. Lindsey and I are cel-e-brating our new little venture. As a treat we thought we’d reveal our new logo from Gadabout. We love Hanna, and think she did a truly amazing job. Without further adieu … Let me introduce you to our company, Poplin & Queen. We are officially a boutique [...]

A Coffee Table How To
