“Nothing is more refreshing for me than taking a break from routine. Traveling literally reboots my imagination, whether it is to High Point or to Italy. The colors, fashion, architecture, design showrooms, galleries, and antique shops are all catnip for a visual learner like myself. I am always on the hunt for treasures that will make my clients’ homes uniquely their own, a reflection of their lifestyle rather than my portfolio.” “Lately, I’m inspired every day just walking through the door of Abode. We have such a talented and fun-loving sales and design team that generate a palpable creative energy. We have curated an incredible selection of home furnishings and accessories like Belgium glassware, starburst mirrors from Parisian flea markets, and our own bespoke candles just in from France. Recently, we have developed our own private label case goods that highlight our take on the classics – think consoles with chunky gold hardware, chests on brass bases, mid-century style desks, and contemporary dining tables.”“We delight in giving homeowners a mix of the unexpected. Antiques and architectural artifacts paired with abstract art, Lucite, and contemporary furnishings keep a space fresh, balanced, and most importantly, livable! I always say, ‘Take it on approval, see if it works. Decorating should be fun and fluid. You’ll know when it feels just right for you!’”
