Designer of the Day

 

Did you have a good weekend?  Ours was fairly busy.  We woke up to rain on Sunday, which made me jump for joy.  

 

I met my old tennis buddy, Madonna, for lunch.  Who says you can't go home again?  We picked up right where we left off nine years ago.  She is such a character and never fails to make me laugh.

On Saturday, we headed to Dallas to check out #1 and Adorable Jonathon's sweet love nest.  We took them out to lunch at R&D Kitchen, a favorite of my #1's.  Our absent member, #2, was vacationing with the rich and famous in Palm Springs.

I couldn't be happier that my family is settled in one state.

Today, I am beginning a new series.  While on sabbatical this Summer, I spent some time posting my favorite design photos on Instagram.  Before I knew it, I was addicted.  I used to spend hours on Pinterest drooling over design photos.  Now, Instagram has stolen my heart.

When I decided to begin this series, there was no question in my mind about who would be my first Designer of the Day. 

The one and only

Edith-Anne Duncan

I have been following Edith-Anne for a few years.  Whenever she posts a photo of a new project, I think there is no way she could top her last project, but she does.

I even have the Mister following Edith-Anne.  When she posts a new photo, the Mister says... your girlfriend just posted another pretty photo.  And I know exactly who he is talking about.

Who cares if she's only my imaginary friend?

Edith-Anne, who lives in Virginia, describes her home as a laboratory where she can experiment.  Here are some photos of her breathtaking home.  You can see lots more on the EAD website and Instagram.

Be still my heart...these magnificent doors!

Edith-Anne describes her style as sophisticated/casual.

I love how EAD uses such bold colors and mixes patterns.

I'm a sucker for a hidden door.

Fun Fact: did you know that they are called jib doors?

Wowza... a place to store her silver.

And I'm sure it is a tarnish-free zone.

I never met a check that I didn't like!

Can you believe that this is her home office?

What a gorgeous room.

For the rest of the house, check out the EAD website.

The master bedroom and kitchen are to die for!

Here is a glance at some of Edith-Anne's projects.

One of Edith-Anne's signature touches includes ceilings with personality.

This photo was on the cover of Southern Home magazine.

An added bonus:

Every once in a while, Edith Anne asks her followers to leave questions for her on her Instagram feed.  She then has a Coffee and Chat video and answers all the questions.

Another bonus:

EAD has the cutest clothes.

One more thing...

Every month Edith-Anne posts a "must-have," which is always a great idea.  

I found a talented artist through her.

Thanks for joining me today.  

Check out Edith-Anne's Instagram and website.

Tell her that her BFF, Katie sent you.

EAD's furbabies give a whole new meaning to the term "lucky dog."
