Event Specialists Spotlight: Joell and Sam's Total Home for the Holiday

Modern Farmhouse Style

My natural, soulful, vintage-loving style is balanced by love for airy color palettes and clean lines, usually my end design ends up looking like modern farmhouse style.

How would you describe your personality?

Easy-going, positive, nostalgic, caregiving, talkative, super people person

The environment, the client and the event…

I tend to try and style according to the environment, the client, and the event. Then I bring in items that I LOVE and incorporate some fun and trendy elements.

Style with meaning and purpose

I love decorating with big statement items - antiques with a story and small personal items! I try to style with meaning and purpose so people can see who I am, and who they are, through my designs. I love to repurpose items, mix old with new, and think outside the box so the designs always stands out.

What are your favorite pieces in Total Event's inventory?

Not sure how you pick just one! Can I pick one from each category?

If you could only use one décor piece to transform a space, what would it be?

Our Wood Wall makes a big impact! Or the Hedge Wall.

Find your inspiration look, put it all on paper and plan ahead, order early and set up as early as you can!

Favorite Holiday Traditions?

Every year we do most holidays at my parents’ house, and I always spend the weeks prior shopping and going through all the décor to decorate the house for the season and the “Big Family Dinner”. We always change it up every year and come up with something fun!
