Designer Tuesday work day. We checked the progress of a dreamy cliffside residence hovering over the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Here, details of the “hers and his” baths for fabulous longtime clients and friends, en suite to the home’s primary bedroom. Lots of natural stone surfaces and @waterworks fixtures were selected. We think they’re coming along just fine.

An “all American” scene I witnessed I few days ago in Nantucket while installing a new project in a wonderful old place. Bright and breathtaking, brilliantly glorious and in a diverse melange of reds, whites and beautiful blues…this image represents the America I know, the country that shaped my values and beliefs. And this version of our national anthem voiced by the one and only @whitneyhouston stirs my patriotic emotions more than any other. I actually teared up while editing this song, as I did when I heard it live all those years ago. (I’m really old.) The quiet low and soul charging high notes she reaches in this performance remind me of our country itself. We’re informed by the lows and inspired by the highs in American history, and I believe, have a duty to uphold truth and fairness, to protect democracy and human decency…to note the lows and elevate the highs. God bless America! We certainly need this blessing more than ever. “God helps those who help themselves”. Not my words, but words I believe. It seems that we don’t deserve freedom if we aren’t brave. It’s up to us. Long may freedom ring “in the land of the free and the home of the brave”! Wishing everyone a happy, safe and thoughtful, Independence Day.

Rustic glamour! Summer living at its best in a dreamy Carolina mountain getaway we designed with @dsdixonarchitect for longtime clients with three very active young boys. Whitewashed, barn inspired interiors bow to the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains view. And the higher you climb, the cooler it gets. An ideal spot to celebrate the upcoming holiday weekend, we’d say.

Gihee and I were working in Charleston last week and invited some old friends to join us for lunch before catching our plane home….@kristinewbdi and her husband Sam. A treasured BDI family member for two decades, Kristine decided to retire, (She looks too young to retire, don’t you think?), and move with Sam to this beautiful and historic town. We still miss her every day. The consolation? They’re so happy there. Cheers to our lovely, forever friends! 🥂 #wonderful #people #forever #friends #work #family #interior #design #home #decor #life #style #inspiration #beautiful #ladies #office #lunch #love #delicious #food #interiordesign #lifestyle #reunion #photo #natural #beauties #lovely #memories #cocktails #photooftheday
