This elephant stool is a handsome pick that’s both streamlined and functional.  Its blend of masculine materials with soft lines won us over as an attractive non-upholstered stool option.

[Kelly Wearstler] Wearstler’s impeccable and unexpected use of color and texture never cease to amaze us.  What we find most intriguing about her style is her calculated incoporation of materials in her designs.  You can definitely forget dull or repurposed ideas from this leading lady.

[Barry Dixon] Eastern influence is evident in his design  style, and we’re drawn to his dramatic use of lighting and intermingling of intricate objects that characterize his interiors.  He once said,  “If you want to be creative, go someplace…any place. Visit Harpers Ferry or Morroco. Either way you will come back with an idea. ” - THETALENT by Suzanna Salk

Well said, indeed.

[Celerie Kemball] Kemball’s eclectic mix of pattern and vintage and found objects creates bold interiors full of character.  Her vivacious charm definitely shows in her interiors, which always warrants our attention.

[Charlotte Moss] Classic, sophisticated, timeless. That sums it up.   Southern born, she went from Wall Street executive to design mogul and has lines with Bruschwig and Fils (one of our favorites), Stark and Fabricut to name a few. What’s not to admire about her sophisticated style and business savvy.

[Nina Campbell] ] Mesmorized by her vibrant medleys of print and color,  Campbell’s style is one of our favorites.   Her line for Osborne & Little is a highly frequented resource for us.

So, we’d love to know…who’s style do you most admire?
