Rich, earthy browns, burnt umbers and smoky greys smolder then ignite with citrine yellows and luminous, liquid golds in our newest collection for @vervainfabrics . Here we’re pulling together new favorite fabrics, wallpapers and trims for a library we’re designing to shoot as an ad that will run next year…all inspired by the woodsy wonderland of our Virginia farm. Can’t believe how beautifully these new efforts with @colorguise and @shcashdesigns …my fabric and trim gurus at @fabricut…are turning out in the final run to the finish line. Debuting in Paris at @parisdecooff_home in January 2025. Stay tuned my friends! 🤎💛🩶 #designer #collection #beautiful #new #fabric #wallpaper #trimming #natural #beauty #inspiration #nature #inspired #interior #design #home #decor #life #style #color #love #gold #brown #yellow #grey #luxury #lifestyle #colorful #homedecor #interiordesign #photooftheday
A couple of images from last year’s Thanksgiving dinner in the barn that didn’t make the final cut in the new spread in beautiful @flowermagazine . We employed no “borrowed or blue” elements, but lots of “old and new” in our marriage of high and low tableware selections. Antique dinner plates are from a complete service we purchased years ago in France and once graced the tables at the Chateau de Chambord These are set atop brown Aptware chargers from @christine.jouval.aptware in Paris. Antique silver cutlery mingles family pieces with Elkhorn knives from @gorsuch . The glassware is a real mix, with @riedel_official wine goblets, languorous @donnakaran champagne flutes, colorful @potterybarn stemware and willow sheathed water glasses from @townduck …a favorite local shop in our village of Warrenton, VA. Antique, monogramed linen napkins were found in the Sur de la Sorgue street markets and dyed a deep brown. The high and the low, the rustic and the refined, the rarified and the really not…all find a place at our table in the barn. Mix it up to make it marvelous my friends. Make it special and make it your own. Cheers to a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration! 🍁🍷🍂 Flowers by Barbara Hamilton and photos by @erikkvalsvik . #happy #thanksgiving #beautiful #holiday #table #photo #fall #color #autumn #celebration #photography #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #country #lifestyle #love #rustic #elegance #luxury #lifestyle #homedecor #interiordesign #happiness #grateful #designer #interiors #photooftheday
Open the inspiring pages of the 2024 holiday issue of @flowermagazine to see how we celebrated Thanksgiving 2023 here at Elway Hall, our beloved home in the foothills of the Shenandoah mountains. We’d decided to shake up our holiday tradition of a formal table in the dining room and break bread in the rustic sanctuary of our century old barn…a favorite retreat here on the farm…close to the animals and gardens that provide the fall harvest and define our lifestyle in the Virginia piedmont. Our heartfelt thanks to the editors for capturing these memories so beautifully in this generous feature, on newsstands now. Flowers by our friend Barbara Hamilton. Images by the talented @erikkvalsvik . And family recipes available online! Happy Thanksgiving to one and all as we approach this treasured, all-American holiday of grace and gratitude. 🍁🦃🍂 #happy #thanksgiving #2024 #beautiful #autumn #holiday #celebration #old #barn #country #life #style #inspiration #fall #vibes #natural #beauty #home #decor #interior #design #flowers #designer #lifestyle #handsome #homedecor #pumpkin #love #interiordesign #photooftheday
Afternoon light dapples the leather bound seagrass runner of the family staircase in this hunt country mudroom. Our “Synapse” lighting for @iatestastudio holds court in the open well, simultaneously illuminating three levels of the house’s southern wing when night falls.

Close encounters of the fall kind! Dinah is looking forward to autumn, her favorite season…not too hot, not too cold, just right. And so preternaturally beautiful! Dogs know. Open up your doors and let fall flow inside! 🍁🐕🍂
Sunday morning coming down. Waking up with Georgia on my mind…and in my view. What a fantastic weekend of friendship, fun and fabulous food at bucolic @towerhousefarm . (And we must admit it was gratifying to see Ole Miss whip Georgia yesterday and to be sharing the experience with some other UM alumni…never happened once while I was in school!) Heartfelt thanks to Stephanie and Keith for a grounding getaway we won’t soon forget. #georgia #weekend #olemiss #football #love #beautiful #view #happy #place #special #friends #country #life #style #inspiration #home #farm #southern #lifestyle #happiness #quiet #sunday #morning #peace #contentment
Going green…a handsome, hunt country library designed for a fun family near Middleburg, VA. Languorous velvet portieres, luxe and luscious, gird studded corner bookshelves lined with woven hemp wallcovering from @stroheimfabrics . Love the cerused oak @liaigre_official desk from our fab friends at @therhugheslifestyle . Mix a stiff cocktail and start the weekend off right my friends…we could all use one this week.

Dinah greeted our guests yesterday during the comings and goings of the 137th annual @warrenton_hunt breakfast here at Elway Hall. We celebrate this lively group of friends and neighbors and love their appreciation of the beautiful Virginia piedmont and the equestrian traditions of our region. A habinger of fall and the holiday season, we welcome them and autumn on this sparkling November weekend. Cheers to all! 🍁🥃🍂 #fall #tradition #virginia #huntcountry #love #beautiful #autumn #day #lovely #smiles #happy #weekend #friends #neighbors #november #color #photography #interior #design #home #decor #life #style #entertaining #inspiration #lifestyle #interiordesign #food #cocktails #photooftheday
