Interiors: A Contemporary Southern Renovation

Jun 18

A Contemporary Southern Renovation, Architectural Digest

I'm in a contemporary kind of mood these days, so I thought I'd share a post that has been waiting in the queue for such an occasion. I was immediately drawn to the corridor above, with large-scale photographs including Martin Schoeller's close-up of Angelina Jolie. It's just a taste of what you'll find in this palatial, Nashville home–i.e., neutral colors, beautiful furniture, lots of art, and a fearless use of scale.

Desiré Greene

Desiré is a designer, blogger, and lover of all things glamorous. Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
