Among the designer's collections is "1950s and '60s pottery with skinny
necks," she says. "They can be the cheapest things, but they have to
have the right look and shape," she explains. Above: "Instead of doing
a family portrait wall, I have smaller versions of pictures in frames,"

was purchased at Classic Country in Birmingham years ago. "Someone
obviously made it in his barn," she says.
