barbara, barbara, barbara....
where do i begin?
i've been a fan of barbara barry for a long time.
her interiors are always soothing, sophisticated
and easy on the eyes.
she has become an icon in the design world,
and for good reason.
she was one of the first interior designers
(at least that i know of)
to branch out and design lines of linens/furniture/tile/dinnerware
for other companies. she has lines of furniture for baker and henredon, a line of tile for ann sacks, as well as crystal, lighting fixtures, rugs, textiles, candles, bed linens for other companies,
as well as her own.
talk about busy.
i hope she designs *something...*anything
for target--then i might actually be able to afford it.
what a classy lady.
when i grow up, i want to look like this.
who am i kidding, right?
i don't even look this good now.
i love that her interiors are
deeply rooted in traditional...
but have strong themes of modern.
a soft, sophisticated palette is one of her trademarks.
love that balance of
traditional and modern.
yep, i'm a big fan.
if i were the stalker-type,
she would definitely be
near the top of list.
you are one lucky lady, ms. barry...
very lucky indeed.

I am in love with that blue and cream living room !
ReplyDeleteOh, how true, every single word of this post!! She is amazing...
ReplyDeleteI recently worked with a client who needed to source as many items as possible from Macy's (employee discount) and stumbled across bedding designed by her. I didn't look to see if there were more items, but perhaps this is as close to Target as it will get!
