A Statement Wall
Bohemian Bangles wallcovering, by Phillip Jeffries, makes a bold statement with its red circles painted on mink-brown Manila hemp. Moore sourced it from nearby KDR Designer Showrooms.
Designer Complex
Moore’s office is located in a design center. Walking to her office requires passing door after door of interior design studios. “I had never been around other designers much, since I used to work from home,” Moore says. “It easily could have been the other way, but we just happen to all get along, which is great.
Beautiful Things
The art in the office inspires Moore. “I need to be surrounded by beautiful objects,” she says. “It gets my juices flowing.” One of the first items she purchased for the office was an abstract painting. “The color made me happy, and the fact that it’s abstract keeps potential clients from pigeonholing me into a specific style,” she says.
Storage Spaces
“The first thing I wanted for my office was storage so that everything wasn’t out in the open,” Moore says. The cabinets are by Shiloh and from Beck/Allen Cabinetry. “I tend to be messy,” she says, laughing, “but I’ve heard that the messier you are, the more creative you are!”
Pops of Red
Moore found these bright-red chairs online at modway.com but only purchased one at first. Once she saw how well they fit the room, she ordered two more. “I love the Midcentury look of them, and red is definitely my color,” she says, pointing to her red eyeglasses. “I had to have red in here.”
Antique Finds
Moore purchased the antique furnace grate for her home, but discovered that she didn’t have the space for it. The grate came from Junque, a salvage shop tucked away in the Lemp Brewery Complex. “It is a junk shop,” says Moore. “The guy demolitions old city buildings and brings things back to sell. It’s the coolest place.”
