It still feels surreal: seeing our front door, living room, conversation room, and dining room featured in Charlotte’s premier magazine, Queen City Lifestyle, was a moment I’ll never forget. The feature—titled Grace in Every Detail—captures more than just our home. It captures warmth, softness, and the soul of the life we are creating at home.
In the article, our house is described as being layered in muted colors and textures, with botanical prints and antiques that evoke a sense of Southern charm and timeless tradition. In the conversation room, the small brown check Schumacher drapes and the custom rug from English Village Lane with a topiary-tree motif anchor the space. In the living room and dining room, the mix of antique furnishings, soft, neutral tones and curated patterns made each area feel elegant, calm, and welcoming.
What This Feature Means To Us
To me, hearing how the rooms feel to someone walking in for the first time was incredible. Thanks to the help of many and years in the making, I feel like the rooms truly are a reflection of my design style and how my family lives. It feels like a quiet stamp of approval: our choices reflect a style that others appreciate, and now our home has a story in print. It reminds me that beauty in a home doesn’t come from chasing trends — but from choosing pieces and colors that feel like you, layering them over time, and allowing the space to evolve with life. And now, our home joins the gallery of houses that celebrate tradition, comfort, and timeless Southern grace.
