See moreThere is a unique way of living in the South, a more gracious style with a modern twist. Sophisticated casual interiors with pops of colour have always been Edith-Anne’s design aesthetic, as well as a respect for heritage and history. Growing up as a child in the South, Edith-Anne’s family home was filled with inherited furnishings mixed with modern touches of chinoiserie and unexpected moments, like a white leather bench with emerald-green piping. Those surroundings sparked her love of home and decor.
The homes featured in Southern Sensibility are all respectful of family, history, and fashion, but are meant to offer a balance between family time, cherished moments, and everyday modern life. A home should be elegant, but without the fuss of formality. It should welcome guests and family with open arms, where nothing is too precious, but everything is thoughtfully beautiful. As Edith-Anne’s witty mother says, “Use your sterling every day, dear, because if you don’t, the second wife will!”
