Over a shared love of dogs, interior designer Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25 teamed up with Dallas homeowner Courtney Davis. The women met when they used the same veterinarian for their pets, Brittany spaniels. Serendipitously, their friendship blossomed about the time Courtney had begun work on the décor of her 1920s cottage and realized she needed help with completing the project.
Abbe appreciated that Courtney’s foray into decorating respected the bones of the residence, keeping the original floors and painting the walls throughout a neutral gray with white trim. The homeowner also had a cache of items collected on her travels, like a magnificent Murano glass chandelier purchased on a trip to Italy. An emerald velvet headboard and vibrant botanical pillow lend panache to the main bedroom.
