Throwback Thursday…making an entrance! We designed this glam foyer with @dsdixonarchitect for an inspiring client/muse who did just that every time she entered a room. The dramatic stair railing Stan designed was so beautiful that we didn’t want to confuse the scene with patterned walls. Taking a cue from the railing’s sinuous gold vines and bronze handrail, we chose to dip the room in a gold/bronze metallic paint from @ralphlaurenhome . With such a quietly luxe backdrop, the staircase…and the lady descending…remains the indelible focus. 🤎 #golden #glam #interior #design #architecture #artful #collaboration #custom #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #photo #staircase #love #classic #glamour #interiordesign #photography #beautiful #homedecor #luxury #lifestyle #dark #color #gold #throwback #thursday #photooftheday
Site visit to a dreamy oceanfront project yesterday, where we checked progress on four levels of simple elegance in the making. Here, two guest baths in pale but pretty pastel tones…each a frothy confection of color. I left these rooms with a distinct deja vu of dyeing last week’s Easter eggs…though these finishes are a bit more pristine.

Spring and the Easter holiday are harbingers of growth, renewal and natural beauty. So it’s fitting to share these images taken this past week in a special home we’re restoring in a beautiful old community in Nashville, TN. Custom, hand painted Chinoiserie panels from @graciestudio were painstakingly measured and applied to the vaulted planes of this romantic primary bedroom, with care taken to leave the room’s canopy “sky” open and free of pattern. We love this room and cannot wait to install furnishings and drapery specially considered towards the ethereal effect of sleeping in a dreamy garden fantasy. Swipe far left to see the room just five days earlier. What a difference a day…or two…makes! Have a preternaturally beautiful week my friends! 🌱🦋🌿 #dream #bedroom #garden #fantasy #interior #design #new #work #progress #photo #custom #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #restful #color #natural #beauty #chinoiserie #love #designer #interiors #homedecor #interiordesign #photography #luxury #lifestyle #interiordesign #photooftheday
Old Wedgwood, new crystal and lots of fresh green (mostly edible) foliage…setting the Easter table at Elway Hall! We never set the same table twice and love to mix the rarified with the terribly common, much the same as our approach to the interiors we design. Swipe far left to turn the table! And have a wonderful spring holiday weekend! 🌱🐇🌿 #happy #easter #colorful #interior #design #old #house #new #holiday #weekend #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #photo #antique #china #love #luxury #lifestyle #spring #color #fresh #green #nofilter #photography #interiordesign #photooftheday
As we kiss the last of our spring daffodils goodbye this Good Friday morn, we say hello to the millions of redbud and dogwood blossoms dotting the awakening boughs of these perennially beautiful trees that flourish on hundreds of rolling acres of our Virginia farm. The older I get the more I appreciate the baroque beauty of leaning pylons and old stone walls that gird the entrance to Elway Hall off Elway Lane. Swipe left to see another redbud in bloom, this one standing next to the stacked stone walls that circumnavigate the pastoral fields of “Clovelly”…the lovely, 18th century farm of our neighbors and friends across the road at the foot of our driveway. You can see their magnificent stables in the distance. Whether coming or going, we can’t escape the natural beauty of spring in the Virginia piedmont on this Easter weekend. 🌸🌞🌸 #spring #flowers #natural #beauty #country #house #life #style #inspiration #photo #color #pink #green #yellow #blue #sky #nofilter #photography #flower #power #old #home #beautiful #view #new #season #happy #easter #weekend #photooftheday
Most of the time, this formal dining room is used as a working study/library/homework area for a busy family who needed this space adjacent to the library and mezzanine book annex nearby. (See previous post.) For formal dinners, holidays, etc., the eight 18th century Italian chairs purchased with the table are collected from the surrounding hall and gallery areas as side chairs, replacing the pair of benches seen here, which are pulled back to the window and wall areas until needed again. We love this quick change practicality as it suits this family’s lifestyle and daily needs. 🦋 #quick #change #interior #design #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #photo #flexible #designer #interiors #happy #family #new #work #space #fresh #look #interiordesign #architecture #thoughtful #homedecor #modern #mix #photography #luxury #lifestyle #photooftheday
