When Charleston-based real estate professional, designer, and mother of three Krystine Edwards began planning her kitchen, one factor was top of mind: incorporating her trademark sophisticated Southern style.
No city’s skyline conjures as much American energy and ingenuity, creativity and bravado as New York City. It inspires the whole world. You may not have noticed on your last visit that the spires of its cathedrals, the plazas of its museums and the cladding on its centers of commerce are in many cases natural stone, and more than likely, stone pulled from Polycor’s very own American quarries: Marble, granite, limestone, natural stones known for their incredible longevity. For architects constructing or restoring New York’s most iconic buildings, these natural stones are natural choices.
Holly Phillips is inspired by color. As an interior designer, and owner of The English Room in Charlotte, North Carolina, she is known for bold color, often through the use of layered accessories and contemporary art.
“Color makes me happy and I think it certainly can affect people’s moods. I can appreciate neutral designs, but need color in my life,” she says. Phillips likes to quote artist Georgia O’Keefe: “I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.”
