Storm Trooper
“Our April installation day at the Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Southeastern Designer Showhouse was a weather wipeout. Severe thunderstorms, flash floods, lightning, and washed-out roads were all on tap for us during our installation. We literally moved thousands of dollars’ worth of furnishings through torrential downpours. With borrowed raincoats from kind strangers, we managed to preserve pristine carpets by taking off our soaked shoes. The day ended with the sun coming out, three beautiful spaces complete and a rainbow to top it off.”  —Dana Wolter, Dana Wolter Interiors

Just Say No
“‘Heroine Chic’ was the title of my grand entry and grand stairwell at the 2014 San Francisco Decorator Showcase, inspired by Lorde’s album [Pure Heroine] and song, as well as by Kate Moss. A few visitors tried to correct me by telling me that I had misspelled ‘heroine’—that there should not be an ‘e’ at the end. I tried to explain that, although English is my fourth language, I do believe ‘heroine’ does have an ‘e’ at the end. Turns out, they thought I named my room after the intravenous drug.”—Jonathan Rachman, Jonathan Rachman Design
