Designers’ “Salvations”

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.

  2. 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!
