Tilton - Fenwick - Amazing Rise to the top!!!

  Hey Everyone,

     I have been away for a bit, but the mind is always working - taking notes on things that have caught my eye and noticing my fellow design colleagues and their fabulous works.  When I was involved with the Ronald McDonald House working for Meg Braff Designs, amongst the big names like Jamie Drake, Bunny Williams and Anthony Baratta were many fabulous designers as well.  In the mix were two young women that have taken a meteoric rise to the top and maybe it's because they are so darn cute that I am hooked!  Anne Maxwell Foster and Suysel dePedro Cunningham
 (aka -Tilton Fenwick) were amongst the design team that did all of the fabulous work at RMH, but its their personal/professional triumphs that are on my mind today.

     Tilton Fenwick have coined themselves as Boutique Designers and have worked with some of the best - Ashley Whitaker, Markham Roberts and Brockschmidt & Coleman.  Their style is clean and uncluttered, very livable which is important to me - they have a young fresh look to designing that is just so nice!  Along with their 2011 "Rising Stars to Interior Design" award they recently have developed a fabric and furniture line.  Keep your eyes on these two, they are far from done!

 Well Done Ladies!!!!!

Ruthie Sommers - House Beautiful March 2014

  Hey Everyone,

        Every now and again a picture will just grab my eye.  Maybe this one excites me because of the color palette.  Definitely in my wheelhouse.  This room is by Ruthie Sommers and is featured in this months House Beautiful, the entire spread is lovely but I enjoy the dining room the most.  I think the mixture of colors and textures is gorgeous and especially like the choice of chair fabric (Clarence House - Talcy Velvet).  Funny thing, I was just in Kravet about two weeks ago asking for textured velvets and here we are.  I also love the white console she is using under the very baroque mirror, mixing it up always makes a room so much more interesting to me. The pink Murano lamps are to die for, I would so love to have a room like this in my house!
