Industry Reviews

"...the 256-page tome—written with New Orleans-based writer Sara Ruffin Costello—showcases this AD 100 designer’s classic, yet undeniably Southern approach in which inviting comfort meets moments of irreverence and stimulating color. Like the lush, impeccable homes of his clients (Jackie O. and Hilary Swank), the tome is, in a word, remarkable."
