I'm a longtime follower and admirer of the Houston-based full service design firm, Oyster Creek Studios, and had the pleasure of working with founder Aryn Guillory to design our bedroom in our last house.

I've had both real and faux orchids, but I prefer a good faux orchid since they last forever and require zero care.
