MARKHAM ROBERTS ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN INDIANA


Interior designer Markham Roberts uses patterns and colors to create this busy yet beautiful palette in this Fort Wayne, Indiana home.  Roberts admits that the designer must take chances with colors and textures until a perfect mix is achieved.  The art in this home is stunning, including Italian gouaches.

The kitchen, porch, and bedrooms are designed with an airy and calm palette. The library is warm, using plums, greens and textured walls.   ENJOY!








See you soon,
Teresa

KAY DOUGLASS ~ DESIGN ON LAKE RABUN

Kay Douglass and husband Jim sold their Rosemary Beach home and bought a 1920s home on Lake Rabun which is only two hours from their home in Atlanta. I am in love with the bright colors and dyed skin rugs used in this vacation home. ENJOY!

TOM DELAVAN ~ DESIGN IN EAST VILLAGE

Previously a contemporary art specialist at Sothebys and the editor at large for Domino magazine, interior designer Tom Delevan decided to go out on his own and decorate homes. Art and architecture serve as inspiration for his work, mixing modern and classic.

This East Village apartment has tall windows and beautiful art pieces, which allowed Delavan to use a neutral palette. ENJOY!

JOLENE BALLARD AND AMANDA MALSON ~ DESIGN IN HUNTINGTON BEACH

Jolene Ballard and Amanda Malson love vintage finds and recycled furnishing. The owners of Domicile Interior Design, Ballard and Malson salvage pieces from their own family's attic, estate sales and thrift store.  It appears that it has worked for them.  ENJOY!

SLOPPY JOES


Sloppy Joe


Popular throughout America as an easy way to stretch meat, this sandwich of ground beef and spicy tomato sauce is a classic.

SERVES 4

1 tbsp. canola oil
½ small yellow onion, finely chopped
¼ green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
8 oz. ground beef
1 cup canned tomato sauce
2 tsp. Worcestershire
1 tsp. chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Tabasco, to taste
4 hamburger buns, toasted

Heat oil in 12″ skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 6 minutes.

STAN TOPOL ~ INTERIOR DESIGN IN ATLANTA


Well, I am most likely enjoying the Royal Wedding as this is posted.  I have made tea sandwiches, lemon scones, and tea for a tiny party.  Hope that you get to watch and enjoy in your way.  It starts at 3:00 AM here, so most likely I haven't been to sleep yet.  NOW... on to business.

Stan Topol’s office in Atlanta is more beautiful than the homes of most.  His dedication to space transforms a beautiful room into a beautiful AND cozy room.

This Mississippi native learned from the mega talented design genius Billy Baldwin.  It doesn’t get any better than that! 

If you are a designer, this piece is a must read.  ENJOY!
