Jason Reynolds and AED on NBC4 this Friday! (That’s today!)

Annie Elliott | August 12, 2021

Gentle Readers, I hope that on Friday afternoon, August 13, you will become Gentle WATCHERS and tune in to NBC4. I will put the exact time on my Instagram account as soon as I have it. [UPDATE: it will air around 5:45 p.m.]

NBC4 will be featuring author Jason Reynolds‘ home in Kingman Park, which we designed. There likely will be a snippet from me, but honestly, Jason’s interview was so compelling…it should (and likely will!) be the bulk of the story!

Jason talks about the concept of home, what it means to him, and how he honors his family through the items he chooses to feature in his house. It’s quite moving, to be honest.

We designed 2 floors of his house a few years ago…

…and the project was featured in the Wall Street Journal (so exciting!).

Now we’ve almost finished the upper two floors of Jason’s house, and the amazing Erika Gonzalez of NBC4 wanted to give viewers a sneak peek! This is her very last story before going on maternity leave ;)

It just so happens that Jason has a FANTASTIC interview in the current New Yorker, so *I* think the timing of our story is perfect!

If you miss the story live — and I’m not suggesting that you should! — it should air again over the weekend and then a longer-format version (I told you Jason’s interview was compelling!) will be available on Roku and AppleTV.

Don’t you worry; I’ll keep you posted ;)

For those of you lucky enough to have a beach house, now’s the time to start thinking about decorating beyond traditional “costal decor!” Step one? Consider a color palette other than blue and white ;) See my latest blog post for more! 🏖️ 🐚#beachhouseinteriors #interiordesign #eastcoast

I follow two rules when mixing patterns in the same space: vary the scale, and vary the subject.I was excited to share this and other insights on pattern splicing with @ericafinamore from @apartmenttherapy! #interiordesign #patternsplicing #patternmixing #designopinions #annieelliottdesign

It’s Wallpaper Wednesday! This week we’re featuring Deconstructed Stripe by Schumacher (in collaboration with Miles Redd).This pattern pays tribute to the legendary decorator Albert Hadley. Redd was inspired by Hadley’s contemporary, streamlined designs that played with scale and proportion. Deconstructed Stripe is impactful on its own but also looks INCREDIBLE next to other patterns.@schumacher1889 #designinspo #wallpaper #interiordesigner

HuffPost asked for my thoughts about the new White House ballroom. As you can imagine, I have many. I was so delighted to be included in this conversation! Thank you, @huffpost and @carsar91!#interiordesign #whitehouse #designopinions #annieelliottdesign

I was thrilled to attend Imar Lyman’s exhibition opening at the Kreeger recently! I’ve loved his work for years and am lucky enough to own one of his silkscreens (ours is of Frederick Douglass). He’s moved from portraiture to abstraction, but he still does some work in collage, which I confess is my favorite ;) The exhibition is up through July 11. Play hooky one afternoon and go.(The last painting is by Frank Stella, by the way — an influence on the artist, as you can see!)@imarhutchins @kreegermuseum

It was an honor to be a sponsor of the 87th annual Flower Mart at the National Cathedral! My  daughters have been trekking up to the Cathedral for this event since they were little - wonderful memories. This year, my favorite flower display was the Hong Kong Economic and Trade office; those peonies smelled UNBELIEVABLE! 🌺 🌼 🌷 🌻! Switzerland was a close second ;)

For today’s Wallpaper Wednesday, we discuss Hicks Grand by David Hicks.The British interior designer created the smaller-scale Hicks Hexagon in the 1960s and later scaled up the pattern to create Hicks Grand. The contemporary, geometric, honeycomb repeat adds intrigue and depth to any room. I have only used the smaller Hicks Hexagon (stairway picture), but I LOVE the scale of Hicks Grand. Fun fact: The Hicks Hexagon pattern was used on the rugs in the Overlook Hotel’ hallways in The Shining 😱#wallpaperinspo #interiorinspiration #hicksandgrand
