ELEGANT EASE: A Myers Park home gets a fresh new identity ✨
When designer Marie Matthews transformed this 4,800-square-foot residence for clients relocating from Colorado, the goal was clear: create a sophisticated yet approachable retreat for a couple entering their empty-nester era. @mariematthewsinteriors

Layered lavenders, watery aquas, botanical wallpapers, velvet textures, and tailored details brought warmth and personality to the home while preserving its classic architecture. From the Morris & Co. entry wallpaper to the lavender grasscloth dining room and serene primary suite, every space was designed to feel both elevated and deeply livable.

“It feels very fresh and very Charlotte,” Matthews says — a home designed for entertaining, unwinding, and feeling rooted in a new city.

SISTER THREADS: Behind every piece from @twineandtwigstyle is a story of sisterhood, resilience, and turning nature into art. Charlotte sisters Elizabeth White and Jacquelyn Tugwell built their jewelry brand from a shared love of shells, travel, and collecting beauty from the world around them—while also supporting each other through life’s hardest moments, from cancer battles to family challenges. What began in 2013 as a creative outlet became a nationally loved brand now carried in 250 stores, proving their bond is just as strong as the pieces they create. ✨

PEARLS OF WISDOM SERIES ⚪️: Michelle Tunno-Buelow, CEO of Bella Tunno @bellatunno @michelletbuelow

“I’ve learned that not every problem deserves my emotional energy. Early on, every issue felt urgent and personal, like it required my full attention and stress level of a small crisis. Now I try to ask: Is this a real problem… or just a moment? Because if everything is a big deal, nothing is. If something felt uncomfortable or difficult, I used to assume I was off track. Now I know: hard often means you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be—learning, stretching, building something that doesn’t come easy. Easy is nice. Growth is usually not.”

A DAY IN THE LIFE: Charlotte’s Karly Barker—mom of four and founder of Courtside Kids—runs her life like her brand: flexible, fast-moving and built to keep up. What started in 2022 after her son asked for “cool” clothes is now a growing line for boys and girls in 100+ stores. Living steps from her kids’ school, her days blend work and home in a “beautiful kind of chaos.” @karlybarker @courtside.kids

5–7 A.M. WAKE, WORKOUT, QUIET TIME

The goal is always to wake up before my kids and make a 5:30 workout class at Studio Fire. On the days I can get that time—workout, a little scripture, a quiet minute to think—I’m a much better version of myself. But I’ve learned parenthood is all about flexibility. Some mornings, my toddler is up before the sun, and that becomes the start of the day. That’s okay too.

7–9:30 A.M. GET THE KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL

By 7:00, our house is busy with breakfast, missing socks and water bottles. My husband is hands-on in the morning, which makes a huge difference. The three big kids are out the door by 7:15, then it’s a quick reset—checking schedules, getting ready and preschool drop-off around 9. By 9:30 or 10:00, I’m officially in work mode.

10:00 A.M.–NOON DESIGN WORK

We now have two full-time and a handful of part-time employees in and out, so every day looks different—which I love. A big part of my day is product design and storytelling. We typically have a design meeting around 11, and we’re almost always working a year ahead. Right now, we’re designing Spring/Summer 2027.

We pull a lot of inspiration from Baxter Mill in Rock Hill, which is one of the largest textile archives in the country. We’ve turned vintage wallpaper into prints for our collections. @baxtermillarchive

12:30–2:30 P.M. PHOTOSHOOTS AND KID SCHEDULES

Afternoons are focused on marketing—social, email or ad strategy. This year, we’re testing a drop-a-month model, which means a lot more storytelling and content. We work closely with Proper House here in Charlotte; they really feel like an extension of our brand at this point. This is when we try to squeeze in photo shoots. Since our models are kids, schedules revolve around school and sports.

We now have two full-time and a handful of part-time employees in and out, so every day looks different—which I love. A big part of my day is product design and storytelling. We typically have a design meeting around 11, and we’re almost always working a year ahead. Right now, we’re designing Spring/Summer 2027.

We pull a lot of inspiration from Baxter Mill in Rock Hill, which is one of the largest textile archives in the country. We’ve turned vintage wallpaper into prints for our collections. @baxtermillarchive

12:30–2:30 P.M. PHOTOSHOOTS AND KID SCHEDULES

Afternoons are focused on marketing—social, email or ad strategy. This year, we’re testing a drop-a-month model, which means a lot more storytelling and content. We work closely with Proper House here in Charlotte; they really feel like an extension of our brand at this point. This is when we try to squeeze in photo shoots. Since our models are kids, schedules revolve around school and sports.

A DAY IN THE LIFE: Charlotte’s Karly Barker—mom of four and founder of Courtside Kids—runs her life like her brand: flexible, fast-moving and built to keep up. What started in 2022 after her son asked for “cool” clothes is now a growing line for boys and girls in 100+ stores. Living steps from her kids’ school, her days blend work and home in a “beautiful kind of chaos.” @karlybarker @courtside.kids

5–7 A.M. WAKE, WORKOUT, QUIET TIME

The goal is always to wake up before my kids and make a 5:30 workout class at Studio Fire. On the days I can get that time—workout, a little scripture, a quiet minute to think—I’m a much better version of myself. But I’ve learned parenthood is all about flexibility. Some mornings, my toddler is up before the sun, and that becomes the start of the day. That’s okay too.

7–9:30 A.M. GET THE KIDS READY FOR SCHOOL

By 7:00, our house is busy with breakfast, missing socks and water bottles. My husband is hands-on in the morning, which makes a huge difference. The three big kids are out the door by 7:15, then it’s a quick reset—checking schedules, getting ready and preschool drop-off around 9. By 9:30 or 10:00, I’m officially in work mode.

POP, POUR, PROSECCO 🥂: Everybody knows what a taqueria or a pizzeria is. A proseccheria is a take on the same idea—it’s a bar where prosecco flows. Plaza Midwood is now home to the country’s first. @bevproseccheria

Michelle Castelloe, the retail powerhouse behind Moxie Mercantile and Betty, opened Bev Proseccheria last November in a restored 1963 vintage Airstream. Guests can sip authentic Italian prosecco by the glass or bottle beneath string lights in the space between Moxie and Undercurrent Coffee on Commonwealth Avenue.

Castelloe has been a prosecco drinker for decades, but the idea for a proseccheria came to her about six years ago. Her best friend, also a fan of the bubbles, read an article in an in-flight magazine about Prosecco Road, Italy’s oldest designated wine route.

“She stuck it on her fridge, and we planned her 50th birthday in the Prosecco region,” Castelloe says. “We went to Prosecco Road and visited 10 or 12 vineyards. These tiny bars had outdoor seating with blankets in the winter. I thought, ‘We have to do this in the States.’”

In late 2024, on a trip to Maine, Castelloe visited a bar in an Airstream overlooking the ocean.

“I loved the Airstream vibe,” she says. “It was less of an investment to do an Airstream than to build or rent another location.”

After securing the permits and two vintage Airstreams (one serves the prosecco, the other seats 20 people and can be booked for events), Castelloe officially launched Bev Proseccheria. The name, like each of her brands, has a special meaning. Moxie was a word her grandfather used to describe her as a child, and Betty was named after the woman who sold her the building. Bev is short for Castelloe’s godmother, Beverly, and it doubles as a cheeky shorthand for “beverage.”

The menu features 12 proseccos, a non-alcoholic option and one Italian lager. Castelloe did several tastings (“That was so fun,” she says) before landing on the right lineup.
