New project in the West Village, NYC!

Darden Design Group is now on WhatsApp.

I know it’s been a while. I’ve been taking some time off... but I had to post this pool in the airport in Doha, Qatar. I’m on my way to the Seychelles to dive. This pool is a feat of architecture and engineering. It’s perpendicular to the concourse below!

I have always loved charming bars.
Check out these 2 on Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Don’t you think the tile accent wall makes the space?

New closet drawers installed in Birdseye maple.

This may be the most beautiful baby's room in the world!
Famous de Gornay butterflies on custom pink linen. I WISH it was my bedroom. Absolutely gorgeous and soothing.

Magnificent basket whale! If you have an empty wall have fun and hang your baskets into a fun pattern. Happy Valentine's Day from Cancun! My Larry is the most romantic.

Spot light on details:
These pretty green napkins are trimmed in a blue "lettuce edge" creating a wonderful contrast with a ruffle. Perfect for spring entertaining!

Pretty "lady's den" for an Atlanta client....very relaxing with all the natural light.

Spotlight on architecture - Little Dix Bay -built in 1964 by Laurance S. Rockefeller known for his idea of "earth in balance." Clearly his eco-driven resorts were way ahead of their time. Below is the famous open air pavilion. Enjoy! Plan to book before they close for an 18 month overhaul of infrastructure beginning sometime late Fall.

Freshly painted green door just in time for Christmas.

One of my favorite things in the world to do is lovingly plan a dinner for two!

Take a look at some of the former Presidents' China service. My favorite was the Clinton's

In my view there is no grander home to receive an invitation to than The White House. I was honored to accompany my husband, Larry to such a glorious appointment. For the next several days I'll be posting some interior views that normally I would not have been able to photograph.
With great excitement may I introduce you to the home of The United States President. Let's start with the State Dining Room!

Ahhh, Santa Fe colors and patterns, truly magnificent.

Purchases for a new project. What's not to love about 1st Dibs! Can't wait to show you the cool new space.

Another favorite from . This -filled room with a courtyard view is one of the most charming places I've ever stayed.

Thinking back to this amazing city.

Couldn't help but love this post. For my Texas roots, my sister-in-law in Dallas, and a Texas senator I'm very fond of.

13 Glamorous Texas Rooms From Dallas to Houston, Texas design brings glamour and class.

Normally I'm all about color, but this neutral palette's got me drooling!

The simple-yet-elegant quilted runner: another look I'd love to see come back. I think I'll do one on my own bed!

I've been on the hunt for classic window treatment idea for a client, and I just found the PERFECT inspiration in one of my favorite look-books! Couldn't help but share!

Almost 4 years later, and I am still in awe over this Parisian apartment. Priceless art and a beautiful interior... what more can a gal want??

A peek inside Atlanta's own Swan House. Every detail exudes opulence, from the soaring ceilings to the herringbone floors. This was a home built to impress!
