People are sick. People are dying. Our communities have come to a halt and the global economy is closer to death than it has been in decades (maybe ever). Our 401Ks look like we have barely contributed to them and many have lost their jobs or the business they worked so hard to build. Life as we know it has been turned upside down in a matter of weeks. 

You must be thinking... What a way to start a blog post?! But stick with me.

If you didn't notice... We added a new artist to our collection this month! Elizabeth McLaurin Elizabeth grew up in Houston as a child and moved to Fort Worth, Texas when she attended  Texas Christian University (TCU).

Elizabeth went on to major in art at TCU and became the artist she is today.     Elizabeth's parents were passionate about showing...

Kelly Pelfrey is releasing one of the most unique series we have seen this year: Daughters. Kelly was inspired by her own final weeks of pregnancy to create a series that represents the beauty of having a daughter. Aside from ultrasound blurs, new moms have no idea what their daughter will actually look like until she is born.  Kelly shares that she really doesn't know the child yet, it is all a mystery until her birthday... but there are truths that Kelly and all new moms can cling to: She is beautiful. Perfectly designed. She has been created for a purpose,...

If you have driven around Columbia recently and specifically on Roseberry Lane, you would have noticed a new apartment complex that stands out among the rest. The Roseberry is a new multifamily complex that Christenberry Collection was able to contribute to!

There are some really grand spaces, which creates the fresh air feel. The interiors are sophisticated, fun, and thoughtful in a way that you don’t typically see with an...
