    Acknowledgments

    I would like to thank Charles Faudree for his gracious style and kindness to fellow designers. Without his input, I may have never attempted to publish this book. That said, I also owe thanks to all my clients who let me into their lives and homes to make magic. Many I call friends and they have made my life richer. Thanks to my many talented friends who have shared their knowledge with me; I am truly grateful. I also thank everyone close to me who helped through the making of this book, offering love and support when I needed it.

    Special thanks to my husband, Wayne, who loves me unconditionally and has always helped pick me up when I’ve fallen. He is truly my hero.

    Love and deep appreciation to my daughter Heather, who makes me laugh; her husband, Paul, who is smart—we respect his input on any subject; my grandson Andrew, who teaches me to be humble; and my granddaughter Grace, who is so like me in many ways—a mini me; my son, Matthew, who keeps my chin up; his wife, Tracy, who keeps style up front; my granddaughter Taylor, who will take over any business and run with it; and last but not least, my daughter Ashley, who keeps me young and up to date with all technology.

    Thanks to Madge Baird for guiding me through this first book, and her associates Hollie Keith and Melissa Dymock for helping to create it.

    Thank you to Carol Childs, who assisted me with the text.

    Introduction

    Southern Mountain Living celebrates mountain country style with grace and hospitality. Many of the homes in the Southern mountains have been passed down from generation to generation as summer retreats. These family homes have historical character and their own sense of heritage to consider as each generation updates the interior décor. I believe European country manors have lasting style and a timeless lodge look that’s right at home in the mountains of North Carolina.

    Every mountain home has its own charm and story to tell as well as a divine climate and scenic vistas to celebrate every season of the year. To accomplish this, I mix the formal and the casual in the same space, combining current trends and local treasures with fine art, English and French furniture, antique tapestries, and textiles to maintain a sense of history amid modern comfort and design. I place contemporary elements in a well-worn room or antiques in a sleek setting, always mindful of balance, color, texture, and shape.

    This book brings to light the style, grace, and hospitality of living in the Southern mountains. It offers a glimpse, room by room, into a few of my interior designs, making the most of outdoor living and indoor spaces. This is where friends and family come together to make memories and enjoy nature. Come on in and stay awhile.
