Charlotte based interior designer, Barrie Benson, is the newest addition to my ever growing list of design idols. I admire her effortless ability to inject color and pattern into her spaces in a way that is still elegant and sophisticated.
These are just a few of my favorite shots from her portfolio. Aren’t they lovely? One day I’d like to bring the same vibrancy to an old row home here on Capitol Hill. Until then, I’ll just keep taking notes from Barrie.
Totally design idol worthy. Laaawwwddd. That spotted powder room is gettin’ it.
Barrie Benson is one of the best!
She has always been a favorite of mine!!!
That entryway vignette with the demilune table and soft orange chairs will haunt my dreams forever! Beautiful- thanks for turning me on to such a fabulous (and semi-local) designer!
Wonderful tasteful, classic use of color! Thanks for posting her work.
My hometown girl! She is the best and is so fresh without being too trendy! So glad you discovered her!
