SUSAN JONES ~ DESIGN IN KANSAS

When Susan and Tom Jones started their look for a home, it had to be on a certain street in Mission Hills, Kansas. What they found was a Colonial on the block they desired, but they got more than they bargained for. The wiring in the house was condemned, so the Jones had to tear down the walls to the studs and start over.

After going into town to eat and shower for a year, the home was finally where Susan wanted it, and the decorating began. On a whim she chose paint colors and fabrics and turned their house into a beautiful home. So beautiful that friends started asking for advice, so Susan is now trying her hand at furniture design. ENJOY!

MICHAEL SMITH ~ SETTING THE BAR IN DESIGN

When interior designer Michael Smith is running things, you know that it will be stunning. He is all about mood and light and comfort. When you see a home that he has designed, it has that extra subtle wow factor to it, a job well done.

When the clients asked Smith to design their Upper East Side home, he moved in for a year while he was renovating his own apartment. The client wanted traditional, so Smith used some pieces from his collection for Baker. The lighting, the de Gournay wallpaper, the dark paneling, and the rugs set the tone for the perfect interior. ENJOY!

ELIZABETH TYLER KENNEDY ~ DESIGN ON THE RIVER

Ask interior designer Elizabeth Tyler Kennedy what she loves most about her home, and she will tell you that she loves the glow, the glow of the sun, the glow of the candles, and the glow of the light. And that is exactly what she has created in this beautiful home on the river in Georgia.

The antiques in this home are mostly family pieces, but Kennedy has added her own touch through accessories and art. The Old World look fits beautifully with the muted drab colors that were intentionally put here. Kennedy just likes it like that. I would have to agree with her. ENJOY!

ROBERT COUTURIER ~ DESIGN ON FIFTH AVENUE

When the financier’s wife said she wanted French, she meant French, so the couple brought in architect and interior designer Robert Couturier to renovate and design the almost 9,000-square-foot apartment. The clients visited Paris twice with the designer, not only getting ideas for their home, but also purchasing pieces of furniture, paneling, and flooring.

Couturier combined furnishings, art, and other pieces from the couple’s previous home with the French purchases, and also added new contemporary pieces. ENJOY!
