I'm back!! Finally, I am getting to restock items in the shop after a very crazy and long year. I am thrilled to be back at it AND have secured space at Local Antiques & Modern for many of my vintage finds and textile treasures. Here is just a little peak at some of my newest finds! Much more to come soon:) 1920's Glass Top Chinoiserie Handpainted Coffee Table Complete (8 piece place setting) Thai Gold Buddha Flatware Set! And nothing is ever complete without a fresh pillo

Colorful Family Room Redo
Family rooms are a great space to add color, personality and bask in the cozy vibes that mean "family time". This makes me think of a past project for a wonderful family with a love of all the above:)... After spending a significant amount of time and money on the kitchen and living room remodel of their cape cod home, my client was left with a very neglected adjoining family room. The room was a dark paneled space with a very inefficient furniture layout. It had 0 storage

New Year, New Home Décor & Accessories in the Shop
Now that the new year has arrived and all the holiday decorations are being put away, I don't know about you, but I am feeling the house is looking a little bare. It is a great time to spruce things up with just a few new home decor items. Art, pillows and small accessories are easy ways to make a room feel fresh without breaking the bank. Here are a few new items in the shop that might do the trick. Newly framed vintage Degas prints in black and white add elegance and go

Adding Interest to Ceilings
One of the most forgotten elements in designing a room is often the ceiling. There are so many ways to elevate a room's interest when giving attention to the ceiling. Since moving in our current home, I had planned to add custom paint touches to our coved ceiling in the foyer, but could never make up my mind on exactly what I wanted to do and the brain time was honestly not there. Slowly, as my schedule allowed, I began to overhaul this room. I started with the walls and c

Colorful Family Room Redo
After spending a significant amount of time and money on the kitchen and living room remodel of their cape cod home, my client was left with a very neglected adjoining family room. The room was a dark paneled space with a very inefficient furniture layout. It had 0 storage for all the "stuff" we need at our disposal in a high use hangout room. We needed to keep the budget low and keep the whole thing a surprise for his wife, so we planned the entire redo for 1 very busy week

New Artisans to DI HOME
It has been a goal of mine to add elements to DI HOME from favorite artisans around the US. I have always been somewhat obssessed with handmade pottery and pretty much anything turquoise. So when I discovered these amazing sleek beauties, I was drawn to them like a dog hunting a chipmunk (a daily struggle at our house). Artist Joshua Gillespie meticulously creates each piece by hand in his Branson, MO studio. Of course I have been styling them all over the place since th

Decorating on a Budget
Growing up, my mother taught me to be very resourceful. We didn't have lots of money, so I was forced to learn to be creative with what I had, something I am very thankful for. From the age of about 11, I was decorating my room using pretty scarves as wall hangings or table covers and rearranging my furniture for a new floor plan. My parents always dragged us to antique stores and tours of historic homes which I never remember hating, I remember thinking these were "speci

Coming Soon to DI HOME
This past spring marked three years, THREE YEARS!!!, since the beginning of Durpetti Interiors. The season also began the opening of my online shop, DI HOME. I have had (and still do, at this point) a shop on Etsy for so many of the antique and vintage pieces that I am always collecting. DI HOME has been a great addition for me to add elements of my favorite textiles, custom pillows and now, artisan and handmade items that I love. One of the new additions coming very soon

Celebrating Culture in Design: A Mother's Day Tribute to an Amazing Woman
Some of my fondest memories growing up are of time spent with my grandmother hanging out on her front porch, watching Saturday morning Memphis wrestling, and eating home made banana pudding. Born to Native American (Cherokee) and French parents, she was a strong, independent and loving woman who could tell you stories from 50 years ago with every detail as if they happened yesterday. When it comes to my own personal design style, I have always found myself drawn to Native Am
