Design House update: Open letter to Baker Furniture

Annie Elliott | March 4, 2009

Dear kind-hearted decision-makers at Baker Knapp & Tubbs,

I usually am a fairly dignified person, but…pleasepleaseplease may I please borrow one of your beautiful tables for the Design House this spring? Please?

I saw the Rill Hall Table from the Bill Sofield Collection in your showroom today, and it was love at first sight.

Your table would be the FIRST THING that any visitor to the Design House sees. It will be showcased against a panel upholstered in this stunning fabric from Stroheim & Romann:


Don’t they look beautiful together? The rich blacks, the gold highlights…it was meant to be, I’m certain of it.


Thank you so much for considering my request. And again, my apologies for being so emotional. Beautiful furniture does that to me.

Sincerely,
Annie Elliott

🖼️ Outdoor walls are the perfect opportunity to add a fun piece of art to your space. Why let blank walls go to waste when you can spice up the space? Whether it’s a quirky painting, a metal wall hanging, or a sleek stone sculpture, outdoor art adds personality, depth, and whimsy to your surroundings. 🍃 ......#annieelliott #annieelliottdesign #outdoorspace #porchdecor #outdoorart #artinthegarden #outdoordecor #wallart #artinspiration #exteriordesign #outdoorliving #outdoorspaces #creativedecor #decorinspo #homestyle #artforoutdoors #designtrends #artistictouch #outdoorvibes

We’re fully embracing @elledecor’s #cafecore trend in this cozy corner that’s practically begging for a cappuccino and a good book. ☕️Warm wood tones, inviting seating, and a charming @schumacher1889 Roman shade say it all: sit, sip, and stay awhile.Photo | @stacyzaringoldberg#annieelliott #annieelliottdesign #elledecor #interiorinspiration #interiorsandhome #beautifulinteriors #colorfullycollected #greenandblueinteriors #designtrends

Just because you have a small space doesn’t mean you have to use small patterns! This @thibaut_1886 wallpaper really packs a punch in this tiny powder room, don’t you think? #bathroom #powderroom #powderroomwallpaper #thibautwallpaper #wallpaper #floralwallpaper

Your home should tell a story — your story. The places you’ve been, the pieces you’ve collected, what you love, and how you live. This is where designers shine. Our job is to help you weave your story into a design, creating a home that feels layered, lived-in, and uniquely you. ✨📸 | @angieseckinger#annieelliott #annieelliottdesign #curatedhome #designwithpurpose #uniqueinteriors #livedindesign #interiorsandhome

Table lamps do more than provide light: they bring much-needed visual interest – and sometimes whimsy! – to a room. The most important thing to remember: Tiny room or tiny surface = tiny lamp (15” tall or shorter); huge room = tall lamp (at least 27”H). If you’ve had a bare surface and add a lamp all of a sudden, give yourself a few days to adjust. It will look big at first, but trust me, it’s probably exactly the right size. 😊 📷 | @stacyzaringoldberg @mcbecks_pix @angieseckinger
