Wow! I am so excited to be featured in the most recent issue of Traditional Home. The Richmond Symphony Showhouse was one of my favorite projects and I’m so happy to see this project gracing the pages of the April issue.

I loved this project, because I had a chance to expand my horizons and use many of my own fabrics, as well as some lighting! The large red lantern hanging over the entry table is the Rothesay lantern from my home line. I chose red for this particular scheme, but it can be ordered in any custom shade to match your decor.
I was also thrilled to use fabrics from home line in this entry room. I selected the Athens print in Sky for the sofa to set the tone for the Greek influence you see throughout the space.
I also used this Marrakech pattern in Sky and Ruby for the rolling ottomans you see by the entry table. Isn’t this a fun pattern? I love it in every color combo!!
Finally, I used a custom red-white-and-blue Bistro stripe on a small footstool to echo the room’s overall color scheme.
It is truly a dream to be able to use my designs in a space like this and I am so grateful to Traditional Home for including this space in their April issue.

Love your site – I have been lax checking in as I am on spring break with my little ones. I brought Traditional Home with me on the plane and loved this spread. I even had a little heart “whoop” when I realized it was yours. Had to come back to your blog to remind you what an inspiration you are. Thanks Tobi!
Kind regards, Adrienne
