Mixing Old with New, Romantic and Timeless!

 

As an interior designer, fashion designer and product designer for over 2 decades, I have come to love, and appreciate all styles of house.  Not just their unique style, but the story behind what they are made of and the items that have somehow made their way inside.  My favorite are Farmhouses, Ranch Houses, Mountain Cabins and Country Homes in the mountains or at the shore. The walls, the barn, a light fixture, wood beams, doors, a kitchen. I always loved to mix old with new, rustic with contemporary, modern with vintage and rustic with shine. This eclectic mix soon became my signature style which I incorporate into my home, product and fashion designs. 

Don’t get me wrong, I do love new things, but remember new without old creates cold. When you add rustic texture it instantly creates warmth, character and feels like home.

I hope you like my style and visit us often…. whether it’s shimmering rhinestones on an old wood frame, cowboy boots with a ruffled dress or a crystal chandelier hanging over an old rustic table, for me it tells a story. Thanks for stopping by, from a country girl at heart….
