Taste makers. Trend-setters. Style icons. Simply put, these are our top five favorite current design stars that we frequently follow for inspiration and genuine pleasure. No matter what industry you’re in…it’s always beneficial to have these iconic figures to aspire to. From beautiful interiors to polished product designs to business savvy, these designers are a cut above in our eyes. See why…
[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?

“I always like to mingle vintage or antique objects into a room, especially if they are everyday objects. They have a unique sense of character and charm that you just can’t get from new pieces. The key is to train your eye to find the extraordinary in the ordinary.”

We have our southern roots to thank for this month’s dish, and we hope you enjoy a little insight behind the beauty of the antler. Growing up on a farm has its perks. One of which is having a plethora of antlers at your disposal to creatively display in your decor.
As we’ve come to learn and will share with you, between January and April, deer shed their antlers after mating season when the male deer sports them to attract the female deer and fight for her affection. This routine occurs throughout the duration of the animal’s life and each season, as he matures, the antlers increase in size. The natural twists and curves of the antler are true displays of natural beauty and have become increasingly prevalent in interiors over the years.
Thom Filicia, in particular, comes to mind when associating antlers with stylish interiors. Whether used as wall art, candle sticks or mod lighting, his fashionable approach with these remarkable objects is truly memorable.
