ROMANTIC MASTER SUITE

“I have the simplest of tastes. I am always satisfied with the very best!” - Oscar Wilde 

Serenity and Romance were the two key words my client shared when we began this suite of rooms. Choosing a palette of nature inspired blues and greens embodied serenity and a sense of escape from a hectic world. I often use these colors in spas, and it works perfectly for bedrooms as well.  As with all my designs, the story is everything thus the focus on organic motifs from the metal flowers forged by Tommy Mitchell, to the preserved botanicals from my garden prepared by Blackwell Botanicals. Also, the dogwood motif, Virginia’s state tree, for the marble floor in the bathroom and the wool and silk hand-knotted rug in the bedroom.  Celebrating nature meant everything to my clients who chose to live in the country. This space embodies my philosophy of the Art of The Mix (A book I’m presently writing) with art, antiques, family heirlooms, and bespoke furniture and rugs creating a timeless since of luxury and family.
