About Layla Grayce

At Layla Grayce, we truly, madly, deeply care about design, about creating the perfectly decorated room that expresses your unique sense of self, and finding perfect items for gifts or everyday. These are things that can make a difference in the quality of our lives and those dear to us. We feel that beautiful surroundings bring harmony, balance and happiness to your home and life, and strive to showcase products that will achieve this philosophy. Beautiful surroundings that express your personal take on lifestyle shouldn’t be a luxury – it should be a necessity.

Layla Grayce is an inspiring shopper’s delight conceived by Wendy Rossiter Estes and Tiffany Grayce Harris, lifelong friends with a passion for business and design and a love for discovering unique items. Traveling through Europe after college, they were inspired by the antiques, art and furnishings of the countries they visited. Years passed as they started families and worked on their individual careers, designing homes and interiors for clients, friends and family along the way. Encouraged to share their talents and finds with others, they created Layla Grayce.

Together they have selected a remarkable collection of items for home, women and children, carefully selecting every product, artisan and manufacturer to ensure their business philosophies and craftsmanship are worthy of your home and lifestyle. Never mainstream but always functional, Layla Grayce products are designed for longevity – everyday heirlooms that can be passed on to future generations. For everyone dedicated to creating an inspired haven that reflects a stylish, creative take on lifestyle, we bring you Layla Grayce.

Liora Manne Zen Vortex Rainbow Rug

Manne Zen Vortex Rainbow Rug

If Vincent Van Gogh made rugs, then I’m positive that he would have created one that looked like Liora Manne’s blended color rainbow rug show above. I love the pattern, it brings to mind an artist yielding a brush, and with each stroke creating wavy, swirled movements that blend the rainbow palette of colors into each other. This rug is a work of art bursting with color and movement, and I just love it.

NYC-based textile and product designer Liora Manne creates high-tech rugs, wall covering, pillows and fabric. Her exclusive LAMONTAGE textile design process intricately layers and interlocks colorful fibers by needle-punch to create a unique, felt-like material. This special process also incorporates SmartSilver nanotechnology for antimicrobial protection, providing durability and all-weather utility for indoor/outdoor use!

Decorating Resource: Liora Manne

Liora Manne will be showing at High Point Fall 2010 

October 16-21, 2010

Showrooms: G367 and G365

About Olga Adler of Olga Adler Interiors

Olga Adler of Olga Adler InteriorsOlga Adler, the principal of Olga Adler Interiors, is an interior designer, stylist and writer.  Olga’s refreshing approach to classic design has garnered her wide-spread recognition for her use of simple forms, unique accessories, and her love of color.

Her designs are inspired by her extensive travels throughout Europe, Africa and Asia; married with American influences here at home. This design marriage, influenced by diversity of cultures and styles, has yielded a sophisticated, yet sensible design philosophy that according to Olga is critical to,“creating stylish rooms that, just like the best clothing, are crafted with a particular person in mind – high quality, custom and unique, and only a little bit trendy.”

Olga’s earliest design experiences were derived from art books, Audrey Hepburn movies and her grandmother’s impeccable taste in clothing and decorating. She began her career in Europe designing and producing celebrity events including movie premieres, concerts and award ceremonies working with a number of world-renowned artists: Claudia Schiffer, Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve, Jane Seymour and Nicholas Sparks.

image Decor Shopping:  Bedroom Decor Resources from Annette Tatum’s Style Maker Look Book

imageAnnette Tatum is a textile artist, and the creative visionary and driving imageforce behind two renowned interior decor lines, House, Inc. and Little House, which are carried in more than 700 boutiques nationwide.

Annette is also the author of the fantastic fashion-inspired home design book, The Well-Dressed Home. The book is an absolute visual treat, and should be part of every decorating divas’ decorating  and design inspiration library.

That is to say that my likes and dislikes have changed over the years depending upon my lifestyle. When I was single I was more adventurous with my design palette, when I started having children I became more practical. The result over the past 15 years has led me to live a very “layered” life. Full of treasures and memories from the many different influences and experiences I have had. “ (Source)

Kitchen Design Look Book: Style Maker Paul Anater’s Design Notes

image142Paul Anater’s Style Maker Look Book: Kitchen

clip_image0031If it’s possible to have a favorite metal, mine would be bronze. Here’s a bronze sink from Rocky Mountain Hardware.

clip_image0042This faucet is something we’d call a high-arc bridge faucet. This beauty is from Perrin and Rowe (at Rohl) and it’s even more beautiful in polished chrome.

clip_image00211This is a slab of Calacatta Gold marble. Marble counters are widely available but the key to using marble is to find a local supplier who can work with it successfully. You can learn more about marble and marble fabrication at the Marble Institute of America’s consumer website.

 clip_image00811A great kitchen deserves a great range and this Legacy by Aga is one of my current favorites.

image411The floor plan calls out for the perfect backsplash mosaic and one of my favorite resources for them is New Ravenna Mosaics.

image2 You can spend a fortune on cabinet hardware but it’s not always necessary. I find surprisingly beautiful selections at Restoration Hardware regularly.

clip_image00111This is an inset door style from Dura Supreme called Bella and it’s been painted an off-white.

 

image I love using wood floors and no wood sings to me quite the way walnut does. This floor is from Carlisle Wide Plank Floors.

image11With this kitchen, the walls are calling out to be painted in a near-neutral blue and no one comes close to Sherwin-Williams‘ palette when it comes to neutrals and near-neutrals. 

image A great kitchen deserves great lighting and a great lighting plan needs a focal point. I love the idea of using a chandelier in a kitchen and this Villeneuve from Vaughan Designs fits the bill nicely.

clip_image01211 I have been on a kitchen table kick lately and I love the idea of combining some of the function of an island with a table. This walnut table is from Spekva and its top is actually a cutting board.

clip_image0131I enjoy eclecticism a great deal and a utilitarian table like that needs a fanciful chair. No one makes better wooden chairs than Thos. Moser. These are Moser’s Pasadena chairs. image81 All great rooms need original art and a terrific resource for original paintings is Zatista.

clip_image01911

And no kitchen’s complete without a cook’s chair, a term I picked up from the talented Sarah Lloyd Kitchen Clarity in San Francisco. This chair is the Elaine from Henredon.

clip_image01511A kitchen table needs a carpet and this wool Kilim, also from Vaughan Designs would be perfect in the room I’m building. It has the feel of grass cloth but with the warmth of wool.
