She launched House of Valentina in 2012 while living in Copenhagen, bringing the lifestyle brand to her hometown of Atlanta in 2016. She leads her own design team and creates weekly content for her ever-growing YouTube audience. Valentina’s style has been heavily influenced by her 12 years living abroad in Spain, Morocco and Denmark. By studying local languages, cultures and living in each country she gained a more global “no rules” approach to design. She always jokes that she’s not above inviting herself in, her fearless attitude has allowed her to see and experience countless homes around the world.
The Surprising Connection Between Fashion and Interior Design!
Working with Jacqueline Black and Michelle Porreca, Williams brought in a Chinoiserie wall covering to give the space a garden-like atmosphere. The EU drastically lowered consumption of Russian oil down to 0.6 million b/dxv and its consumption of Russian gas down to 27 bcm in 2023.xvi Additional precautions were taken to prevent global prices from simply spiking again. Maria Videla-Juniel, who designed the primary bathroom of the main house, also devised a welcoming entry to the Gate House. A Thibault wall covering graces the entry, and a Fibreworks runner leads guests up the stairs. “I’m all about gardens connecting the architecture into the landscape,” landscape architect Timothy John Palcic tells AD PRO.
Larmes de Couteau/Full Moon in March review – two supremely weird operas
Troweled cement plaster was applied to the walls, and handcrafted Zia tile adds pattern to the floor. Designer Karen Billman made Dunn-Edwards’s Skipping Stones the star of her cheery sunroom. She complimented the vibrant hue with metallic accents, Roman shades in a Morris & Co. fabric, and chairs upholstered in a moss green textile by Wesley Hall Fabrics.

It softened the effect of export bans and price controls by finding new partners and utilizing stealthy shipping schemes. It bypassed the West’s import restrictions by rerouting trade routes through Central Asia. Even though the weather outside might not have gotten the memo, we’re absolutely in full-on Fall mode here at the House of Valentina! If you caught my latest Fall Decor video on YouTube, you already know that I tend to steer clear of the typical autumnal decorations (don’t worry, Halloween’s in the works, and I’ll share those delights soon). My take on Fall decor leans towards a subtler, more timeless approach, one that uses fabrics, textures, and scents to keep our home feeling fresh yet consistently inviting all year round.

Firstly, future sanctions absolutely must involve Global South countries where the West has influence, such as India, Turkey, and Kazakhstan. Otherwise, Russia will simply keep finding new markets to redirect their exports to.
She used to pretend to host a cooking show in her kitchen, and to this day still loves creating content to educate her audience and enhance their lives. In these circumstances, the miracle of this double bill from the Royal Opera’s Jette Parker Artists was how intensely gripping it was. Soprano Valentina Puskás was compelling as Martinů’s Eleonora (a woman whose mother is trying to marry her off to Satan) but genuinely hair-raising – the coloratura tour-de-force was hers – as one of the two Attendants in Full Moon. Mezzo Veena Akama-Makia was disturbing as Harbison’s Queen and almost funny as Martinů’s appalling Mother, her controlled vibrato mesmerising. As Martinů’s Satan and Harbison’s Swineherd, baritone Edmund Danon pulled off both slapstick physical comedy and an impassioned quasi-mad scene. I was, repeatedly, in these extraordinary performances of two supremely weird operas.

A brick-walled patio became a party-ready outdoor kitchen and dining area thanks to Douglas R. Sanicola of Outdoor Elegance. Sanicola and Monique Wood installed Caesarstone countertops fabricated by Carlito’s Way Stone to create a functional space for outdoor entertaining. The event draws more than 25,000 guests each year and offers several dining spaces, including Roe Japanese Fusion, the Tudor Rose Bistro, and Wattle & Daub Tavern. The Shops at the Showcase offer an array of merchants, from handmade jewelry to artisanal chocolates, and are also home to the Shops’s Wine & Cheese Bar. Western monetary sanctions aimed to undermine the ruble by discouraging or outright banning foreign investments in Russia, and to erode the central bank’s ability to refinance the ruble.

Designers Frank Slesinski and Serena Brosio collaborated on the charming living room in the Gatehouse. “One of the main things we did was add a window seat, which looks like it should always have been here,” Slesinski says. “Our whole goal with this space was basically to turn the lights on in the room, bring in the garden that’s outside, and kind of have an experience of a breath of fresh air,” Brosio says.
The room is anchored by a Riva 1920 table made with the wood of a 50,000-year-old Kauri tree, which Levine surrounded with seating for 12. Another seating area with views of the garden was designed for more intimate dining, games, or meetings, and it’s illuminated by a Murano glass chandelier. At the far end of the room, Levine installed a lush purple sofa with cocktail tables, creating the perfect spot for drinks, dessert, or relaxing with a cup of coffee. The designers worked with a color palette of Dunn-Edwards paints, and several chose to highlight the brand’s 2024 Color of the Year, a steely blue called Skipping Stones.
Hand-painted floors were the jumping-off point for designer Amy Peltier’s soothing primary bedroom design. “It was so much work, but it turned out beautiful.” The firm wanted the space to feel “light and airy and breezy,” and incorporated fabrics and wall coverings by Thibaut in a soft color palette. Peltier and designer Marina Kelly installed an arch to divide the bedroom from the sitting area, breaking up the large space.
It remains to be seen whether Erin's stance will be the chill pill architecture fans need to ease their fury over C&K tearing down the historic gem. She's all about giving back, suggesting it would be nice if things from the old pad got recycled to help those in need, or at least, given new life in architecture schools. The Hollywood couple purchased the property last year for $12.5 million due to its location ... And Erin says she respects their desire to build a family nest close to the double compound owned by Katherine's mom Maria Shriver. Erin says she definitely would've preferred someone to simply renovate the place and keep it standing -- but still, she's not bent out of shape about Katherine and Chris' decision to start afresh on the property. Jerome Thiebault created a polished and petite bathroom complete with storage and a shower.
Thibaut wall coverings and fabrics were used for the walls and windows, and the elegant shagreen-covered vanities are accented with gleaming fixtures by P.E. Videla-Juniel and project manager Cheryl Hardy also installed a striking shower clad in herringbone stone tile. Lastly, Europe needs to completely halt purchases of Russian oil and gas, and there needs to be greater enforcement of the oil price cap as Russian ships keep bypassing the system. The cap could also be raised considering it costs a Russian monopoly $20-$25 to produce a barrel. Samatha Williams’s Tearoom in the Gatehouse is brimming with vintage charm and elegant accents.
The plot of Full Moon in March, meanwhile, made sense on paper (a quest piece involving a swineherd as the wannabe suitor of a queen) but in performance the libretto – adapted from a WB Yeats play – verges on impenetrable. The landmark mansion was built in 1902 by architect Joseph J. Blick for Gertrude Potter Daniels, who paid $15,000 for the shingle-style home. In 1905, Susanna Bransford Emery-Holmes—known as the Silver Queen thanks to the source of her late husband’s fortune—purchased the home and soon made it her own. In 1922, she spent $37,000 to have the Postle Company of Los Angeles, who also built the Pasadena Playhouse, remodel it into an English Tudor Revival–style mansion, giving it the regal exterior that remains today. Valentina has always been drawn to designing gorgeous spaces and experiences for others. As a child, she aspired to be a buyer and designer (talk about dreams coming true!).
Bursts of hot pink and apple green energize Steven Cordrey’s design for the home’s veranda. Hand-beaded light fixtures illuminate the seating areas, which feature tables and chairs from Janus et Cie’s Amalfi Coast outdoor collection. The real weirdness, needless to say, was hard-baked into each piece long before these stagings added neon accessories and boundless physical energy. Both are rarities – ROH director of opera Oliver Mears staged the Martinů’s UK premiere himself back in 2007, while this is only the second UK production of Harbison’s chamber opera – and you can see why. The sequence of events in Larmes de Couteau is somewhat clearer, albeit in an explicitly surreal vein (“It’s very French, isn’t it?” said the woman sitting next to me to her companion come the interval).
The designer established two seating areas within the space, including a cozy gathering spot with chaise longues that flank the original carved marble fireplace. The room’s coffered ceilings were enhanced with a faux-wood decorative painting by Jhon Ardilla. “I really feel like the dining room is a forgotten room,” says the designer, who set out to prove how vital the space is to a home.
