I am a huge admirer of designer Sarah Bartholmew‘s work, and I was thrilled to see her named as one of House Beautiful‘s “Next Wave” designers in the July/August issue. The living room she designed in a Georgian home located in the Belle Meade neighborhood of Nashville positively exudes timeless, old school elegance. I simply cannot get enough…
The curtains are China Seas Bali Hai by Quadrille. This is a very similar pattern to one of my all time favorites, Toile de Nantes by Pierre Frey (which is no longer available in fabric).
Artwork by Kayce Hughes. Kayce is the niece of Lilly Pulitzer, and I am a huge fan of hers as well. You can more of her art here.
The sofa is by Charles Stewart and it is upholstered in a Kravet velvet.
“I’m always looking through decades-old magazines, trying to figure out what stands the test of time – and what doesn’t make you go ‘ugh!’ today,” said Sarah.
To learn more about Sarah Bartholomew, please pick up a copy of the July/August issue of House Beautiful. You will also want to visit her website and follow Sarah on Instagram. To see more of my favorite examples of her work, please see this feature I wrote in October.
I am inspired by her classic and modern mix all done in a traditional style. I loved the blue & white vases and those gorgeous curtains.
So glad I stumbled across your blog. I'm in the early stages of decorating a new home and am on the hunt for some design inspiration. I'm also in love with this home tour – I saved my entire House Beautiful magazine just to make sure I didn't lose it!
