"Barbara Barry"

To Me... Barbara Barry is the Audrey Hepburn of Design. She is beautiful, classic, inspirational, graceful and extremely talented in her work! She is continuously surprising me with her poise and vast array of products and designs.

She has created everything from furniture, fragrances, textiles, wallpaper, kitchenware, tiles, and beyond. To name a few- she has designed for Henredon, Baker, Kravet, and Ann Sacks.
She is by far my absolute favorite Interior and Furniture Designer! I hope to one day step into her shoes...

 "I find beauty in the fine detail around me. I wish to design in a way that leads to a simple way of gracious living everyday"

-Barbara Barry

"Make choices based on your gut, not your head..."

"Glamour is not about money, it's more a quality of character..."

Emerald Green...

My favorite color has always been green...and when my latest client asked for an Emerald Green master suite; I couldn't have been more excited to pull together inspirational photos and get started! Here are some color palettes, furniture pieces, and accessories that kick-started our project!

"Sow a Seed"

"Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Galations 6:7 NKJV).

 In the time of need. Sow a seed.

I was doing my devotions this morning and wanted to reflect and share on the readings by Joel Osteen. As I know how hard it is as a farmer to wait patiently for his crops to grow- to faithfully harvest year after year with hopes for a fruitful and blessed return...

I enjoy taking that lesson and metaphor and applying it in other areas of my life.

Just as a farmer must plant some seeds if he hopes to reap the harvest, we, too, must plant some goods seeds in the fields of our families, careers, businesses, and personal relationships.

......

Today, plant seeds of goodness in someone else's life-

For when you give, you are preparing the way for God to meet your needs today and in the future.

"Give generously, for your gifts will return to you later. Divide your gifts among many, for in the days ahead you yourself may need much help" (Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 TLB).
