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.”
When Austin-based real estate agent Creede Fitch set out to design his kitchen he had two things in mind: style and function. He knew what he didn’t want (the omnipresent Carrara marble) but hadn’t yet figured out what material would properly fit the light, modern and streamlined look he was hoping to achieve.
It wasn’t a trip to the park or the prospect of a new toy that excited Brooke Wagner as a little girl.
