• Thanksgiving and the beauty of home

    paragraph

     Like so many, I love Thanksgiving.  So many wonderful things come together — decorating, family, food! — on one glorious, indulgent day.  I’ve designed quite a few dining rooms for clients throughout the years and it’s always exciting to see these spaces come to life on Thanksgiving.  Décor isn’t the reason for the season, but sharing beauty and joy with loved ones is.

    Eclectic, tailored and dramatic is just the right vibe in a dining room.

    For me, design is about expression.  The dining spaces below are in Maryland, DC, New York and Arizona respectively.  Each is a signature of a particular home, lifestyle and client.

    Details are a key part of the magic when entertaining for the holidays and year-round.

    Sometimes simplicity is all the drama a space needs.  Traditional in Virginia and modern in Florida.

    The dining room below is one of my favorites.  The sophisticated color scheme creates a room that sings.

     Happy Thanksgiving from Huntley & Co.

    And a special thanks to our clients who make these images possible and our work lives so rich.

    I love Thanksgiving.  It's a time for entertaining, celebrating and opening our homes to family and friends.

    We all want our interiors to be at their best during the holidays.  For me it's about creating an environment

    that is beautiful, relaxed and welcoming for guests – whether it's in my own home or one of my client's. 

    Below are my iphone shots from a Huntley & Co. photoshoot this past Friday in Virginia.  I am in love with

     these images right now; they convey everything I love about decorating and setting a scene.  Often the

    best way to find ideas for your own space is to look at the examples of others.  Hopefully you'll find some

    inspiration for your own home and Thanksgiving table amongst the shots below.  Happy holidays!
