The English Room is Featured in October 2015 Traditional Home Magazine

I was more than thrilled to see the October 2015 Traditional Home arrive with the long awaited feature of the 2015 Junior League of High Point Designer Showhouse and coverage of my space.

Be sure pick up a copy and pop over HERE to see the full online expanded feature.

Carriage House Art Haven by Holly Hollingsworth Phillips

“It’s a refuge for the global nomad, ” says Holly Hollingsworth Phillips of her color-infused, upstairs art retreat. The graphic, zebra-print carpet served as the cornerstone of her design. Bold artwork and patterned Roman shades make up for the room’s lack of architectural detail. The stair railing leading upstairs (not shown) inspired the use of brass accents—see the étagère, elephant sculptures, and lighting pieces. . A teak “hand” chair and a coffee table discovered during Phillips’s travels in India are pretty but practical. The blue-velvet sofa adorned with tribal pillows beckons with comfort. “I envision myself relaxing here and planning my next adventure, ” the designer says.

The art haven dinette might not be very spacious, but at least you can have coffee! And Thermador’s built-in coffee maker reduces counter clutter.

Here are more images I had taken by local photographer Dustin Peck.

This gives you more than a glimpse at my wild and wonderful space.

I huge thank you to Traditional Home Magazine, Junior League of High Point, and all the incredible sponsors for letting me be a part of this wonderful experience.

Hello Holly! What a gorgeous space you designed — may I ask the source of those terrific Greek key-style counter stools? I couldn’t locate it in the article. Many thanks!
