Had my Matchbook fix on the weekend and loved the work of Summer Thornton.
I especially enjoyed her advice on her website:
Do at least one thing your mother wouldn’t
Reference the past, don’t repeat it
Use patterns and colors recklessly!
Insist on natural fabrics
Colors don’t clash
Never say never
More is more
Always say no to faux
Every home should have at least 1 thing from a flea market
Traditional designs need-not be boring
God’s neutral is green
Fresh flowers are a room’s best accessory
No great room was ever designed without taking a risk
If your neighbors are doing it, you probably shouldn’t
I am mad for that wallpaper behind Summer in the pic. Totally gorge!
