HOUSE TO HOME: LUXE GYPSY...IN MY HOME AND BEYOND

---

I LOVE this philosophy:
​
"Buy less, choose well and make it last."
​-Vivienne Westwood

---

REAL luxury!   Select carefully, invest in excellent quality, classic lines, beautiful and authentic pieces. Your treasures reflect you beautifully.  Love them longer, use them more, then pass them to your children, creating FAMILY TRADITIONS.
​
We respect nature as we are nurturing ourselves, investing in our innermost dreams by choosing furnishings and accessories for our home that defy trends but instead boldly share, at this most intimate level, exactly who we are in the world. This feels soothing and rewarding, an inside connection to life outside; an intimate relationship with oneself to be explored and developed over time. This expression of SELF is, in fact, a key ingredient in the relationship we develop with the natural world around us.

I incorporate personality throughout my home with pieces collected, curated and loved over time: my Luxe Gypsy cavalcade of fun and whimsy; memories and adventure. A gentle reminder of me everywhere;  magical crystals and splendid tidbits festoon and adorn; making a happy home where ever they perch. I keep an element of child like creativity constantly circulating through my life and certainly, my  home. 

Living authentically is the best measure of success. Create with casual abandon or studied, well informed detail. The way we choose to live fascinates and touches my heart.  We share the rich story of our lives with everyone who enters our world. Feel free to explore and declare, laugh and change, move into and out of everything. This gift of expression connects us all in ways we cannot imagine. I am honored and blessed to be part of our clients lives. Working together, new energy unfolds, new worlds are discovered and a house grows warmly into HOME.

St. Louis Homes & Lifestyle's Luxury Home Tour

We are pleased to be one of four Interior Design firms partnering with St. Louis Homes & Lifestyle Magazine. This is a unique opportunity for St. Louisans to tour four luxury homes built  by St. Louis' finest custom  home builders. Four home furnishings stores are partnered with each Interior Design team to furnish the Dining Room of these custom homes. We are THRILLED to have been selected to work with Bobby Slavin from Slavin Runyan Homes. His featured home 10 Sherwyn Lane, Creve Coeur, MO 63141 is a 5000+ square foot STUNNER! 

Working with Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, we will
​design an inspired Dining Room infused with distinctive pieces; our vision of a dramatic Luxe Gypsy Aesthetic. Below are some inspiration photos of that Luxe Gypsy vibe we are seeking for this space.

​​Local Artists 

​Our design will showcase works from two local artisans. Theresa Disney (on left), a well loved St. Louis art innovator is known for her uncanny use of vivid color. Each piece she creates has a story to tell!




​
​

​Sucheta Bhide, owner of The Resplendent Crow, is an innovator! We knew we had to have one of her Mid Century lacquered gems festooning our Dining Room. Sucheta finds vintage furnishings, lacquers them in vibrant color, then adorns them in one of a kind hardware. Her pieces are both glamorous and unique!

We will be turning this Mid Century sideboard into a glamorous piece by painting it in this BEAUTIFUL Benjamin Moore color, #650 Highlands Green, of course with a very high gloss, lacquered and amazing sheen!
