the interview
What inspired your passion for interior design?
I’m constantly inspired by the world around me! Art, antiques, museums, nature and of course my clients.
I guess the perfect balance between form and function.
What are the most important design elements in a home?
Scale and proportion are always my prime element. Good architecture are the bones of every home and provide the blank canvas to begin a project. Next is color and I consider white a color! We must always remember that white light is a combination of all colors in the color spectrum. Lastly, I always enjoy a contrast in forms or elements to keep things from being too static. And, no matter what style my client is wanting to achieve, I always make sure their home is timeless.
What are the three most important elements when designing a bedroom?
Firstly, is the comfort and elegance of one’s bedding, Of course every room must have balanced lighting, especially a bedroom that needs both reading lights and functional lighting. My third most important element is a comfortable seating area when space allows, or a bench at the end of a bed or an accent chair.
What is on your nightstand?
My night table is a bit cluttered with Design Magazines, my book of the month, ”Women Know Everything,” by Karen Weeks and chocolates!! Seriously, I love chocolate and have one every day!! Oh, and fresh flowers a personal treat to myself!

what people are saying about us

"Elegant Strand's luxurious bedding strikes the perfect balance between silky smooth and cool and crisp.You can't put a price on a good night's sleep; these sheets are priceless!"
what people are saying about us

"The Perfect Medium: These sheets hit that ideal (and elusive) spot between soft and crisp. I find sateen and silky sheets too slippery and warm, but these are perfect. The embellishments are sleek and distinctive, but work well with the other bedding I own. (Even the packaging is lovely.) Plus, Elegant Strand, unlike so many other sheet producers, seems to have fully adapted to the new world of super-thick mattresses. Not only does the bottom sheet fit easily, the top sheet is extra wide so it can be tucked in, no matter how thick your mattress. I find these sheets to be as good, if not better, than sets I own by famous makers that cost far more. A great bargain and worth every cent!"
