There is a lot to be said for a home that encompasses relaxed elegance. The truth is, it's not easy to pull off. There is a risk of looking far too comfortable with overpriced and out of place appointments. You have seen it before. There are plenty of tips and tricks for adding quick fixes to a room, to create a relaxed and elegant look. Pay no attention to them, it can't be done with new curtains, silk pillows and a Saarinen table. Learn from those who do it right!

Mary Clark is the owner of the home above, she also owns a furniture store with Jessica Hawkins. Together they thoughtfully decorated Mary (and her husband's) Alabama Home with simplicity, luxury, and comfort. Their love of furnishings old and new, vintage and modern is evident everywhere, and the mix couldn't be more magical in this Mountainside home that takes inspiration from a a beach house and all Swedish design.
The subtle details make all the difference in the world ! Ebony stained floors, a ceiling and mouldings that are painted out in charcoal gray, and a room blessed with plenty of natural light, fill the space with ambience that cannot be found in an object.
