Designers’ “Salvations”

April 21, 2013

Full disclosure: I’m writing this post having just agreed to do social media consulting for Barry Remley, the lovely owner of Salvations Architectural Furnishings in Silver Spring. And over the last few days, as I added photos to her new Houzz and Pinterest sites and also updated her Facebook page, I’ve gotten to see the beautiful spaces Barry’s designer clients have decorated using Salvations’ handmade iron tables and furnishings.

Everything is made to order, and Barry uses local blacksmiths to craft every piece. Here’s a look:

Designer Joe Ireland commissioned these iron beds and upholstered the headboard -- it gives a really great edge to the quilt/country look!

I love this great room by Fairfax designer Ellen Brotman, using several Salvations tables.

I’ll end here with two vignettes from the Lee Industries showroom in High Point, where Barry is as I write this, with her new collections for 2013.

    Gorgeous designs and fabulous post! Love that built-in with the beadboard backer! I remember this room from the design house that year.

    Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday Jennifer!

When I told my husband I wanted to name our first son Henry, he readily agreed because Henry Aaron was his favorite baseball player of all time. And several years later, my mother gave a framed, signed photograph of this legend to @hjsergent for Christmas, and it hangs right next to his bed. What a sad day, felt all the more personally because I can’t think of my wonderful son without thinking also of the great man who helped inspire his name.🙏🏻

Interior design isn’t just pretty. There’s real power and symbolism in the choices you make, which deeply affects how you and your visitors feel in your home. This @washingtonpost piece on the #ovaloffice, linked in bio, illustrates how. @potus

The amazing thing about the #uscapitol is that we enjoy the same beauty as the generations before us. Our fashions might change, but not the glorious encaustic tile, gilded mirrors or the clover-like pendant lights in the Senate Press Gallery. Swipe to see the modern version, shot by @ronbluntphoto.

Memories of the late-night lines to see George H.W. Bush lying in state. Thousands of peaceful mourners waiting to pass through the Rotunda of this majestic Capitol.

CONGRATULATIONS to Michele Lerner for her award from the Nation Association of Real Estate Editors on a @washingtonpost story about bringing the outdoors inside, which features our bathroom renovation by @aidandesign ! The judges wrote: “She finds the perfect couple to illustrate the theme of her story. They lie by a nature trail, so they wanted to add natural stone to the shower.” Great story Michele, and it was a pleasure to speak to you!
