ABOUT

WHAT
FROM THE RIGHT BANK is very simply a journal about decorating my house. I share my inspiration files, step-by-step decisions and finally the finished rooms. Once a room is “done,” I usually do it all over again!

In my inspiration files, you will see ideas from around the world in clippings from all the foreign magazines and design books I collect, design ideas and notes with original photography from my travels and great hotel design.

 

 

THE NAME
FTRB was started in January 2009 as a place to organize ideas for my new home. I had moved from the right bank of Paris to Seattle so I named it FROM THE RIGHT BANK TO THE LEFT COAST and patted myself on the back for coming up with such a clever name. Then I moved to Atlanta. Yeah, I didn’t see that coming. So now it’s just FROM THE RIGHT BANK.

 

 

 

WHO
I’m not an interior designer but I’ve been decorating for myself and others for as long as I can remember.  When I’m not working on my own house, I have fun helping other people do the same and spotting trends and giving my two cents to various design publications and websites.

I describe my style as global modern, a real mishmash that includes an undying love of French and Scandinavian styles. It’s a style that has evolved from having lived in Europe, Asia and on both coasts of the US, art studies in New York and Paris, and frequent travels around the world soaking up museums, historic sites and art and design scenes.

 

STAY IN TOUCH
New posts are published daily on weekdays. You can subscribe to the RSS feed or get daily updates via email. FTRB is also on Facebook and Twitter where I share news and other interesting things that don’t make it on the blog and I’d love to see you there! Finally, I keep a photo diary of my travels and everyday happenings on Instagram. That’s a whole lot but if there’s anything else you’d like to know, please feel free to contact me. I love hearing from you. I’m also available to help you create a home you’ll love.
