Annie’s 2022 gift guide highlights woman founded and owned businesses. There is something for everyone on your list, from skincare, to her favorite bags, to the person in your life who loves to entertain.
Last year we did a “Scary Good Design” Mood Board Monday on our Instagram and you all loved it. So we decided to round up some seriously amazing Halloween decor that is not only scary, spooky and creepy, but also chic.
This past year, like many people across the world, I decided to update my home office. I needed a functional space with storage for all of my products and samples, but I also needed a space I felt inspired in. For me, that means color. Surprised?
As you all know, our favorite nights are ones where Ryan and I just have friends over for good food and wine. So that is what we decided we wanted to do for our birthdays this year, except we decided to take it up a notch…
It’s time to discuss this year’s color trends! Our favorite design brands are claiming the 2022 Colors of the Year, this year is about providing a foundation to breathe, transition, and be versatile.
This list is just a few of the my favorite places to get gifts for my friends, family, and clients. I hope this list inspires you to buy your holiday gifts from local places this year! #SupportSmallBusinesses
This space was made for entertaining! It is just one part of a larger renovation project that seems to never stop, my own home! Annie’s Home Style blog series goes through how I am modernizing my old ranch style home in the Seminole Heights community.
It’s that time of the year again! When the color gods analyze what is happening in the design world (and the actual world) to set the tone for the rest of the year by announcing their colors of the year. This year, there were just so many color trends that I loved, I couldn’t contain my excitement, so I decided to just do one big blog post highlighting my favorite interior design color trends for 2021.
Fun fact about me: my love language is gift giving. So I decided to round up some of my go-to local places in the Tampa Bay area for gifts!
Okay guys, this was a big month. We had 5 Mood Board Mondays in August, and one of them featured our new 2020 home decor collection!
Summer is in full swing! So in the month of July, our mood boards were all about things that scream summer! We were inspired by summer cabins, colorful tile designs, South Florida, and some major tiki vibes!.
It’s that time again, we are archiving our Mood Board Monday’s from this past month, June 2020. This has been a month of listening, acknowledging our white privilege, learning about how systemic racism effects all aspects of our lives, and taking action.
One of the best parts of being in a creative field is being inspired by other designers. We love that we can find designs that speak to you all and share the amazing work that people within this creative community are producing. Each month we are going to archive our #MoodBoardMondays here, sharing the amazing artists, designers, and creatives who have been inspiring us this past month.
You have to make A LOT of choices when designing a home, and the choices I make as a designer are not only good for you, but also good for the environment.
As much as I hate to say terrazzo is “trending,” it’s true. Designers and builders are embracing this classic building material, but of course, modernizing it! We are now seeing larger chucks of stones, modern color combinations, and intricate tile cuts, delivering bolder designs.
Annie complies a list of home projects you can take on while “social distancing.” Projects include everything from cleaning and organizing to painting an old piece of furniture.
Ann Cox is an owner and head designer at Tampa based interior design studio, Ann Cox Design. This design blog goes through her personal home style and how she designed her modern boho bedroom. This primary bedroom is one part of a larger renovation project, modernizing an old ranch style home in the Seminole Heights community.
New year, new design trends. Pantone has defined 2020 as the year of Classic Blue. That’s right, Pantone’s Color of the Year is good old Classic Blue.
While I am still not ready to let go of the 2019 color, Living Coral, and was hoping 2020 would be the year of another fun and bright color, I can get on board with this timeless color.
A lot of people asked me why having an online shop was one of my 2019 goals, and while I have a few reasons why it makes sense for me and the Ann Cox Design brand, the most simple reason is you, the person reading this article.
If you guys have been following along on our Instagram, we have been trying to inspire you all to get out of your comfort zone and think about designing with dark colors. We work with a lot of clients and we know, it’s scary. We are here, once again, to try to convince you to take the leap and think about using a dark color in your next design project.
Pantone’s 2019 Color of the Year, Living Coral is popping up everywhere and I am loving it!
I have been building a Living Coral inspiration board on Pinterest, but wanted to do a round up of my absolute favorite design ideas here.
There is so much emotion that goes into every single detail in a nursery. Making sure the space is comfortable, safe, functional and calming for mom and baby. It is so important for me that I am aware and in tune to my client’s feelings during this very special time. I am lucky enough to have gotten a chance to be part of a few of these moments but one of my favorites is this “Where the Wild Things Are” inspired nursery.
I am deep in the Scamp design spiral right now. Cabinet choices, fixture choices, paint choices and countertop choices! I’m in the thick of it and all I keep thinking about is what photoshoot concept Ashlee and I will think up for this vintage cutie!
So, I did it! I bought a Scamp trailer! My little Marshmallow, Shrimp Scampi, Lady and the Scamp (still haven’t settled on a name yet) was born in 1983 at 16’ long. She is in bad shape right now but will be beautiful very soon! I’ve been having dreams of renovating a small camper, and somehow this one fell into my life.
Tchotchkes, doodads, and stuff: accessorizes are those things that we put up and collect dust, but in reality, are very necessary for designing the perfect space. Here are some simple tips that anyone can do to make sure your space is designed well and stays neat.
It is no surprise to any millennial that plants are in. The 2017 Pantone color of the year was Greenery and it had a big impact! Plants are great for designing spaces, whether outside or in, and plants go everywhere. Plants can evoke all of the feels and create different moods to help transform any space. They can also add pops of color, texture, and height. They are the most versatile accessory!
Flatlays are a great way to get the creative juices flowing. I love to test out different colors and patterns together to find the right combination of interests. I know I achieved the perfect combination when I can’t stop staring at it and I want the colors everywhere!
I'm so excited to be able to share my latest project! I had the pleasure of completely transforming a commercial space into a functional, modular, and absolutely beautiful office for a local accountant. This is one of my favorite types of projects because I really get to start with the basics; a concrete slab floor and white walls.
Something about the autumnal months makes you want to grab your softest throw blanket, turn on some mid-level lighting and watch a Nancy Meyers film. Which is what inspired this bog post. This is me jumping on the Nancy Meyers aesthetic trend but let’s make it the fall decor edition.
