"It’s important in a new build to bring in the old. In this case, a client’s grandmother’s sideboard was not in good condition. We lacquered it a deep olive green and added new hardware. You can still appreciate the lines and craftsmanship with the update. The dining room gets incredible light, and we wanted to make the room feel like a garden. The chartreuse wallpaper is the ideal backdrop." Laura Davis
"When a client loves color and is not afraid to try it on the walls, ceiling and layered in between – it sure is fun. It was key to build a cohesive color story throughout the entire house, where we selected a palette in various shades of pinks and greens. On the dining room chairs, a Harlequin fabric makes a nice surprise. There is nothing staged about her accessories – all collected." Whitney Joiner
“Our empty nester clients moved into a house designed in a French country style with grand rooms and very tall ceilings. We were able to create a space that reflected the integrity of the architecture. Antiques were the main character, mixed with contemporary pieces, modern art and updated accessories. Durability, livability and comfort were of utmost importance, especially for the two standard poodles in the family.” Ragan Magness
"A guest bedroom was recently painted an icy blue gray. We wanted some warmth, depth and personality. Schumacher’s Giove fabric was the starting point with its sophisticated snake pattern. As much as we love crispy white, serene bedding, this bed called for a more earthy base with strong colors and textures layered on top. The space is grounded by a deep taupe custom rug with a strong windowpane pattern." Karen Spinosa Seelig
