Growing up in the south, I've always loved the elegance of the old classic homes. The architecture and interiors inspired me even as a young child. I have many, many memories of being drug in and out of antique stores, old homes, and gardens by my mother, as well as grandmothers in South Carolina and Virginia. It's hard to be exposed to such things and not be influenced! I learned a lot about different periods and styles of furniture, classical proportion and symmetry, and the use of color. Over the years, I've realized I gravitate towards creating spaces that mix beautiful and sentimental family pieces with new and collected items in a fresh yet timeless fashion, mixing in a touch of whimsey for fun. Light filled rooms that integrate the outside surroundings are a personal favorite. I believe we shouldn't take our homes too seriously, but that they should be a reflection of our personality and interests. My passion is creating beautiful, harmonious spaces that help others see their homes in a new light.
