…One of [Barry Dixon's] many signature design elements is masterfully blending the old and the new with an infusion of warmth and graciousness. Earth tones work magically in his color palettes of ocher, browns, terracotta, sage, coral and olive.
He has just introduced a fabulous fabric and trim collection with Vervain that echos his style of mixing time, culture and history. He said one of his inspirations was looking at his garden of cantaloupes and other fresh fruits and vegetables.
dcbydesignblog has some fabulous photos of a clients farmhouse near Charlottesville and several other homes designed by Barry. Barry and his partner Michael Schmidt actually live in a huge beautiful manor house near Warrenton, Va.
Let that be a lesson, inspiration can come from anywhere if you open your eyes and mind to receive it.
