Hello 👋🏽 We’re Christy & Susie. While many of you know us already, we wanted to take a moment to reintroduce ourselves and let you know we’re so grateful you’re here.  We each bring a little something different to the table and we believe that’s our secret sauce. We support each other, challenge one another, and ground each other in ways we can’t even put into words.  Our mission is pretty simple at The Scout Guide: we believe in supporting local businesses. We believe that your involvement with your community is important. And that the faces operating those businesses down the street from you are worth getting to know.  A little fun fact: we just launched a new website that we’re really proud of. We hope we have made it easier for you to discover travel resources, inspiring editorial pieces, and digital city guides that share our local favorites on where to stay, dine, and shop. You can start exploring our website at the link in our bio. If you’ve made it this far—which hopefully you have—we are so excited to continue sharing those businesses worth supporting, people worth meeting, and stories worth hearing with you. These incredible business owners are the backbone of our communities nationwide. Go follow them, buy their products, use their services, read about their history, and what sets them apart, say hello in person—just remember to LIVE.LOVE.LOCAL everywhere you go.  -C&S

Decorating with a monochromatic theme, utilizing one main hue with graded tones, has been trending for some time now. However, keeping to a restrained palette can be a challenge if you want to prevent the space from being too one note. Four Scouted designers offer their expertise on how to pull off this look that’s elegant and timeless and anything but boring. @jeremydclark | @tsgbirmingham 📷: @readmckendree @clothandkind | @tsgannarbor 📷: @mvp_detroit @lantzcollective | @tsgnaples 📷: @thehomeaesthetic  @shop___abode | @tsgasheville 📷: @ryantheedephotography #thescoutguide #interiordesign #designanddecor #toneontone #monochromaticroom #monochromaticspaces

One of life’s unexpected joys is receiving a beautiful, hand-written note in the mail, but let’s be real for a moment: More and more, the text message stands in for snail mail. At The Scout Guide, we believe in using beautiful stationery when possible, but we also recognize that’s not always the answer. Enter HiNOTE. Download @hinote.app and take your texting to the next level. Make sure to check out our HiNOTE x TSG collab and use the “LOCALS ONLY” template to share local happenings with friends and family! #thescoutguide #hinote #digitalstationery #tsgcollab
