Orange you happy…
She grew up in Savannah and loves using her memories of the beach in her designs, which help her showcase tropical colors and effortless living.
Her interior design firm is located in Connecticut where she has lived for 25 years, but she recently decided to purchase a Pied-a-terre in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
Her formula for this apartment was to step away from her traditional formula and work with white lacquered walls, abstract artwork and a mix of high and low.
Her goal was to achieve symmetry, simplicity. and sophistication. I think you will agree that she hit all points and still kept true to her beachy roots.
My favorite parts has to be the use of orange and coral throughout the home, the amazing striped roman shades, the touch of zebra and of course the monogrammed pillow. (I would expect nothing less from a Southern lady)
Did you have any favorites?

You know I love me some orange ;)
Ohhhh thanks for posting! Her website is really awesome, definitely adding it to my favorites!
I love the bedroom and I need to see more! Love her style!!
i love the tans and natural fabrics with the orange. Never would have thought of that combo, but it looks great!
Oh - I have so many favorites,
I love white, china, and really good silver. I also love green with white.
But I think you know about that already.
For summer, white jeans, white teas ---

ORANGE! My favorite color! You can do NO wrong in any room if you use orange in my book :)
ha i did an orange-centric post yesterday and even used the "orange you glad" joke too, i think we're soulmates :) hehehe
but seriously, i love the black and white accents and is that print of a ferris wheel? WANT!
Just gorgeous! I especially love the monogrammed pillow, pops of orange, and La Fiorentina.
Love the bedroom- especially with the flowers on either side. Great, great spaces. I've seen her work in several different places of late and really like it!!
I love it. I think orange is the best for just a punch of color.
I heart orange. I used it all over my kids' playroom makeover and I just love it. It's such a punch of color wherever it appears. I especially love it paired with white and peacock blue. Swoon.
I love your blog... great post! I would never think to mix orange and silvery-tan together but now that I see it (in the first 2 pics) I think it's brilliant.
xoRH
i love the orange abstract painting above the couch! it's nice how she toned down the bright colours with the beachy textures too! love it :)
Love the statement of the monogrammed pillow!
so pretty--- LOVING those shades & also all the subtle hits of natural throughout- gorgeous!
loving that sea grass chair! does the article give a source for it??
This house is SO pulled together - I love it when a designer carries a theme throughout. My favorite: the bed - the fabric on the bench, the monogrammed pillow, the colored pillow behind, and the trim on the euros - perfection.
Maybe you have seen this orange makeover, if not check it out!
