Susan Lapelle Brings Old World Charm to Sea Island

Susan Lapelle and Nicky Lapelle Arnold are the chic mother-daughter design duo behind one of the prettiest houses on Sea Island, which graces the pages of the September issue of Coastal Living magazine. By mixing period pieces with comfortable upholstery and eye catching accessories, the Lapelle’s make old world European elegance livable and inviting. Creating value for clients is one of the foundations of Atlanta-based Lapelle interiors. Susan, Nicky, and the home owner antiqued for months amass the collection seen here which is timeless and beautiful. The neutral palate and classic silhouettes will make this house look as current today as it will in years to come.  

Quadrille's Interactive Website

The Little Club at Lyford Cay designed by Tom Scheerer combines Quadrille's "Lyford Pagoda" fabric on the pair of chairs with "Trellis Background" wallpaper.

Quadrille is my go to source for stylish, punchy prints that instantly bring youthfulness and fun to any room.  Their fabrics can be custom colored and printed on a range of ground cloths including linen, cotton, silk and outdoor fabric.  Quadrille recently added a new Editorial Portfolio link to their webiste featuring over 100 photos of designers' work using Quadrille fabrics and wallpaper from publications all around the world.  This new link provides an innovative and convenient way to generate ideas and better visualize certain fabrics as curtains, upholstery, pillows and more.  Two of my previous employers, Meg Braff and Phoebe Howard, are well represented in the link!
