What does your home decor say about you?
When people ask me about home decor, I always tell them that their home should reflect their personality. Lots of color or go neutral? Whimsy or quiet classics? Traditional, transitional, contemporary or modern? It all should depend on you.
For Katie and Hunter Summerford, who bought a modest Montrose bungalow, it meant adding bright minty green paint on the fireplace and bar, orange chairs in the dining room and Warhol-style Elvis wallpaper in the powder bathroom. Yep, that's one fun couple.
You'll find a story on the Summerford's home in this newsletter, along with a story on Hotel Daphne, a new Bunkhouse hotel breaking ground in the Heights and a story on the completion of a new downtown oasis, Lynn Wyatt Square, outside Jones Plaza.
