Love Of Color Runs In The Family................

I attended a family  party near Statesboro Georgia and got a chance to see what my sister had been up to in the renovation of her lake house. Everything was beautiful and I decided to take a few shots of all the wonderful colors, textures and accessories and share with you.
She is an interior design professor at Georgia Southern Universityhttp://chhs.georgiasouthern.edu/htfcs/index.php?link=undergraduate/inds/faculty&sm=inds and my  assistant, Kristen, was one of her students. (Word on the street is "she is a wonderful teacher and many of her students have gone on to secure great jobs in the design world")
She use to own one of the greatest fabric stores  in Savannah  and is also a talented artist.

  1. Beautiful post! Love all of the touches of color. I am trying to get my daughter to free herself of the neutrals, be brave and add some whimsy to her home. Think I will share this space with her!
    Love the last photo of the golden retriever. Looks a lot like my dear sweet Sienna. :D

  6. FANTASTIC! I am one of Mrs. Walton's former (and favorite!) students. I saw Tricia a few weeks ago at ASID Student Day at ADAC and we talked about the house. I am so happy to see photos! Thanks for sharing them.
