House Beautiful is one of my favorite magazines, and the September issue may be the best yet. I am a huge fan of designer Suellen Gregory, whom I featured last month, and I adore this ultra-feminine Virginia townhouse she designed which graces the magazine’s cover. It is like a delicious piece of candy!
Suellen’s client, Katie Ukrop, owns a local art gallery and is the creative force behind Richmon’s Quirk Hotel. Known for her sense of style and flair, pink has always been Katie’s favorite color. However, her home was full of neutrals – mostly black, white, and gray – as she felt this was the best backdrop for her contemporary art collection. Suellen believed her client needed a home more reflective of her personality.
I am completely in love with this stunning home!! For additional information and an interview with Suellen Gregory about this project, click here. You can take a full home tour here, and click here to read my earlier profile on Suellen. Photography by Annie Schlecter.

Richmond's Fan district is such a beautiful area – I love all the pink but my husband would veto it right away. I am looking forward to checking out Quirk one of these days, however! xoxo
I thought of you when I got to that picture of the Bowood wallpaper in the magazine this month! This house is perfection!
It reminds me of Shirley MacLaine's pink house in What a Way to Go. https://alexdonald.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/vlcsnap-1604731.png
Ahh, the power of pink. I am a definite fan, but I like it best when it is paired with a strong color like black, chartreuse, or that deep fuchsia. I am a color evangelist. There isn't one I don't like. Thanks for the inspiring images.
I've known Sueellen via the design industry for many years. Not only does she have a keen eye and great style, she is a wonderful person and a whole lot of fun! This project exemplifies her unique translation of a client's taste, brilliantly mixing a touch of whimsy & sophistication, while successfully curating awesome art and accessories. That fleur chandelier is the best! Great work!
