holiday sparkle
This morning’s cover of the Wall Street Journal boasted a story about tinsel: the silvery strands strewn on Christmas Trees during the holiday season. I was surprised to read that tinsel, along with a number of popular holiday decorations, was invented by a Jewish man who didn’t even celebrate the holiday! According to the WSJ, tinsel is more popular than ever, in part because of its...
photo shoot
Today, we did a photo shoot at Hugh Wilson's 'home' near Paradise Valley, Montana. Hugh's 'home' is not your typical home, but then Hugh isn't your typical kind of guy. Hugh is an internationally recognized artist who primarily paints portraits. We created some custom designed pieces for him as well as offered some interior design and styling services. ...
Holiday decorating: keep it simple, light it up!
Have you ever driven past a home with an inflatable snow dome? The kind that spits up confetti over a plastic Santa, in his sleigh, flying over a plastic house with styro-foam snow on the roof?

However, she was not alone—she carried a pet carry...
great minds think alike
When it comes to design, there are all kinds of approaches and styles. Each person has their own personal taste and expression of creativity. We at Envi Design have our own design philosophy but how that manifests from one project to another has infinite potential. We love to bring our own experience and ideas to the table and embrace a client's personal interests, likes, and...
a massive thank you
Tis the season to be grateful and we just want to thank everyone who braved the cold to come out to the Downtown Living Loft Crawl. It was a HUGE success and a good time was had by all! We plan to make this a bi-annual event and get even more people acquainted with downtown and all the exciting projects happening. Check in with the Downtown Billings Association...
