I am thrilled to be featured as a "tastemaker" on the Hooker Furniture's Blog today. I was interviewed by top Interior Designer Wanda Suite Horton, owner of Wanda S. Horton Interior Design in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was so much fun speaking with her about what truly makes a life "romantic", and I love the article she wrote.
Wanda is a designer who creates beauty and style for her clients, her interiors work spans not only across generations, but design styles, as well. "Creating the balance between beauty and organization brought me to my early passion of interior design. Tagging along with my mother, as she made her way through antique stalls in search of furnishings and accents, ignited the spark about digging deeper into the history of design. My grandmothers influenced me with their abilities to layer investment pieces and special finds, illustrating that everyone can live well, whether in a cottage or a castle; with a place for everything and everything in its place. "
{you can see why we would get along so well!} If you are in need of an exceptional Interior Designer and you live in her area of the states, she will make magic happen!

Lidy, What a nice surprise to have you share the post and to be mentioned on your blog! I so enjoyed catching up with you to learn more about how you were inspired to create a company, which promotes living well and enjoying the place we call “home”. I do feel we’re kindred spirits and how fortunate it was, for me, to be able to share a chat. I look forward to keeping in touch and hearing all about your latest ventures. Thank you, sweet friend! – All my best, Wanda

Great article! I love your blog, always filled with inspiring ideas, and the most beautiful antiques. I collect Old Paris porcelain, and am looking for a stunning set of plates in blue.
