💔A rarefied eye and a creative star. Grateful for her lasting legacy at @theworldofinteriors - beauty found in the less obvious and a distaste for pretense.
On design, “why does everything have to be so perfect? Nothing in real life is, you know.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Struggled with the no photo policy. “If I don’t have red, I use blue.” #picasso #stilllife #essentials #blackandwhite

Published in 1944 by the Carolina Art Association. From the foreword: “No Charlestonian can be expected to speak or write about his city objectively for it is such a part of the background of his mind and emotions that detachment is never possible. The lovely and the shabby are all woven into the same warp and woof of the familiar scene...” 🍯

“ I need a little language such as lovers use, words of one syllable such as children speak when they come into the room and find their mother sewing and pick up some scrap of bright wool, a feather, or a shred of chintz.” Virginia Woolf, The Waves ✨

"One of the greatest sterilizer's of the perfectionist is (what's in) fashion...All rooms should begin as outgrowths of the owner's personality, then become lovelier, more personal, more welcoming with every year...If I find that something I'm doing is becoming a trend, I run from it like the plague." #tellitagain #billybaldwindecorates #dewarlakeinteriors
