PULSE vol. 7

LeeAnn Cline • August 9, 2021

welcome to august, friends! i hope you are enjoying the summer! i've busy with
back to school shopping, designing rooms for clients using exciting pops of color
& beautiful textures from MHF, planning my sister-in-law's baby shower and as ALWAYS - finding the best new places in the treasure valley to share with you all! 

let's get this party started! in volume 7 we are covering SO many things! a playlist full of boot scootin' (& booty shakin') twang, an introduction to one of our amazing designers, a NEW WEBSITE, a new spot to chill on a hot august night, and MUCH MUCH MORE! sit back, RELAX & enjoy!

this is the gravel road to the house i grew up in. our 5,000 acre farm is near colfax, WA & sometimes i miss evening drives like these. music up, dust flying & the smell of fresh cut wheat. that's when i put on my country list!


my country list ranges from oldies to current hits. if you enjoy Alabama & Marty Stuart this is the list for you. More into Walker Hayes or Morgan Wallen - we got those, too!

I'D LOVE TO MEET YOU & OFFER DESIGN IDEAS TO HELP TRANSFORM YOUR SPACE! VISIT OUR SHOWROOM OFF STATE STREET IN EAGLE TO CHAT! CALL ME AT 208.939.2699 TO MAKE A ONE ON ONE APPOINTMENT!

if you guys have learned one thing from me over the past 7 months, i LOVE ROOFTOP gatherings. well, if you have driven in downtown boise lately, maybe you've noticed the ROOFTOP BAR signage on the Residence Inn Boise Downtown. would 100% recommend bopping up the elevator to the 3rd floor to check out "The Deck."

i was blown away with how fresh & original the cocktails sounded. i opted for the hibiscus mule & it was refreshing! there is also an extensive list of red & white wines, also tons of beer options! welp, if you are looking for the next place to get a charcuterie board, you know i'm the one to ask! this was an exceptional offering. pickled carrots! olives, tomatoes, pears, 4 cheeses & 3 meats! jalapeño honey brings it all together! enjoy! TONS of seating options. high tables, low tables, couches & more. there are two wonderful fireplaces to sit in front of in the fall. it's comfortable for families with kiddos as well! 


P A N C H O  -  aka our best selling art.

bring home a piece of Scottish livestock with this wall art. highland cow looks straight ahead with shaggy hair & prominent horns, creating a beautiful white negative space. sleek black frame creates a boundary and makes a statement in your home. we have him in stock, right now!


thank you so much to Kathleen M. for sharing these beautiful photos of her home!

welcome to the pulse! how is everyone? welcome to this month’s volume of the pulse, your go-to roundup of everything in the world of furniture, design, local boise tidbits & more. from new arrivals, to recipes to fonts - you’ll find it all here! i wanted to send a thought of gratitude for opening & loving my monthly blog. i know inboxes are overflowing these days & i truly appreciate you making space for the pulse in yours. let's talk about that pasta image in the header! alright, you all know how much i loved juniper & shared that they were closing a few volumes back. well, i finally got the courage to try the newest concept from STLG: rustica . (where juniper used to be) it’s beautiful, they left the old wood bar, and the pizza oven. we tried the burrata app (yum!) and i ordered the grande meatball! haha! yep there’s a huge meatball in there! it was great, and i can’t wait to try some of the pizzas!
