I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE INTERIOR DESIGN FOR THIS AMAZING WATERFRONT HOUSE- PART OF THIS YEAR'S GARDEN TOUR IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.
NOT ONLY IS THIS HOUSE EXTRODINARY IN IS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, BUT THE HOMEOWNERS LILY AND ROB REIS HAVE AMAZING TASTE WHEN IT COMES TO DECOR. BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE INCREDIBLY TALENTED ARCHITECTS AND THEIR EYE FOR DETAIL SHOWS THROUGH IN THEIR BEAUTIFUL HOME. THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE AND ART COLLECTION, AND THEY LOVE MIXING IN CONTEMPORARY ELEMENTS. THIS WAS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT THAT I TRUELY ENJOYED....... PURSUING DESIGN WITH ARCHITECTS THAT HAVE AMAZING TASTE IS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
AND THE RESULT?......MUSEUM QUALITY FURNISHINGS COMBINED WITH KID FRIENDLY FABRICS AND UPHOLSTERY(FOR THEIR ADORABLE 2 DAUGHTERS) EQUALS A FUN TREAT FOR THE EYE!
HERE'S A LOOK INSIDE PREPARING FOR TOMORROW'S TOUR.
