The Collector

Welcoming Guests

By Kate Sullivan

A wonderful mix of traditions and cultures meet this time of year. When styling our guest room, we talked at length about a seasonal refresh that doesn’t consign to a specific holiday.

There’s an underlying assumption with the word “collection” that the most creative homes have accumulated over time. The work of a collector is an ongoing emotional journey. When home serves as the backdrop for a collection, that emotion meets function and occupies every room. You can feel when someone loves a piece and carefully invites it into their home. The type of collecting that builds a layered, rich space is rarely a result of planned execution.
