ERIKA POWELL ~ DESIGN IN SANTA ROSA BEACH

I want to thank you for your kind words.  I will miss my mother so much.  She enriched so many of our lives in her lifetime, and she lives on in those she touched.

***

Erika Powell, interior designer and owner of Urban Grace Interiors, designed this beautiful beachside home in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.  The clients didn't want the home to look beachy because they intend to retire here soon.

Powell was fortunate enough to start at the beginning and have input into the architectural drawings.  The results are stunning, and through Powell's use of antiques, new pieces, and gray and taupe tones the home is exactly what the clients desired.  ENJOY!

LISA STERNFELD ~ DESIGN ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD

Lisa Sternfeld, a graduate of Parsons School of Design and owner of LSID, has worked with designers such as Thomas O"Brien and Adam Tihany.  After several years of working on the business side of design, Sternfeld knew she wasn't doing what she was meant to do.  The rest is history.

When Sternfeld was asked to decorate a couple's second home on the beach in Martha's Vineyard, she jumped at the chance.  The husband and wife had differing tastes, but Sternfeld worked with the couple beautifully.  Her love of handcrafted pieces and elegance was equally shared by the clients.  The white gold gilded dining chairs are stunning and are my favorite, and the soft blue palette is beautiful.  ENJOY!

ROBERT PASSAL ~ DESIGN ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE

Interior designer and owner of Robert Passal Interior and Architectural Design, Robert Passal created a classic home with modern touches throughout for a couple on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Passal believes  that a designer should work closely with the client, making certain to decorate with their tastes and wishes in mind.  Passal also believes that trust is an element that must be present to make the designer-client relationship work.

The client wanted traditional with a modern and punchy feel.   I say that the goal was accomplished.  ENJOY!
















See you soon,
Teresa
