Veronique
Hello everyone! I had a wonderful time last week hanging out with Alan and the designers at Designs of the Interior (DOTI) in John’s Creek. As always, it was great fun to sleuth the store, and gather some incredible material for future blogs. Some of my favorite pieces were still there! I can’t believe someone hasn’t bought that fabulous red and cream patterned Woodmark sofa. Wow, would that sofa punch up the color in a family room! And it’s comfy too, besides being very reasonably priced. I need another house so I can find a place to put it and have one of the designers design a room around it.
In the “What’s Happening at DOTI” category, Alan has added a second new designer to his staff (remember Nathan joined the team a couple of months ago). Her name is Veronique and she hails from southern California. I am constantly impressed by the breadth of experience and talent of the DOTI at John’s Creek staff–Veronique is no exception, she has over 28 years of experience designing interiors.
Veronique loves to blend colors, patterns and styles. Be careful about using the word “matching” around her, because she’ll gently correct you with the word “complement”. More about that in later blogs when I share with you some of our conversations. So, if you’re wondering how you’re going to seamlessly blend great Aunt Mary’s French provincial sofa into the design of your living room and create a beautiful, unique and expressly “you” interior, stop by and talk with Veronique.
In fact, whenever you’re in the John’s Creek area, stop by and say hello to Veronique, Nathan, and the rest of the staff. Bring them your design problems. Remember that their inventory is much larger than their store, but it’s their ability to envision incredible and beautiful solutions that really makes your visit worthwhile. I still have a painting in my mind of the British Colonial style dining room that Veronique created for me when I asked her about one of her favorite pieces in the store. I’ll tell you more about that in a later blog.
Talk with you then.
