Q&A with ‘Young Traditional’ Jeff Andrews

Jeff Andrews is another of tradhome's Young Traditional Designers to keep your eyes open for this year. He spent some time with us in New York recently to tell us what he's loving this Spring and a few of the first things he did when the weather finally warmed up.




GDG: What were some of the Spring 2011 products you were most looking forward to this year?

JA: I couldn't wait to see what Kyle Bunting was up to! He always has amazing new ways to use hide, such as wall upholstery and rug designs. I also recently saw Maya Romanoff's exciting new line of fabrics, which I love! They can be used for drapery, upholstery and wallpaper. I was also so looking forward to seeing what Jean de Merry would do this Spring. I love their gorgeous new fabrics, custom accessories (like wall mirrors and lighting) and of course, their furniture!




GDG: What should we keep our eyes open for this Spring?

JA: From us, look for pastels mixed with grays, layers of pattern, driftwood inspired furniture and new projects on my website!


GDG: What is the first thing you did once the weather finally warmed up?

JA: Worked on getting a tan and shopped, shopped, shopped! I’m always on the lookout for fabulous new finds!




GDG: Can you share any fun examples of going stir crazy this Winter?

JA: Living in California, we haven’t had the crazy winter you had in New York.  We did have a lot of rain this winter; the upside is that my yard looks amazing!

Q&A with “Young Traditional” Amy D. Morris

Amy D. Morris of Amy D. Morris Interiors is another of tradhome's Young Traditional Designers to watch this Spring. Amy shared her thoughts with us on all of the things she's looking forward to as well as her favorite colors the season.


GDG: What are you looking forward to this Spring?

AM: Gabriath and Paul’s new spring collection and Jim Thompson No. 9 fabrics. Some fun prints that we tend to lean toward are China Seas, Celerie Kemble and Amy Karyan — I am anxious to see what prints they will introduce this spring! My favorite showroom in Atlanta is R Hughes, so they're another showroom I'm looking forward to seeing this Spring!




GDG: What should we keep our eyes open for this Spring?

AM: Definitely keep your eye out for pops of color and bold prints. Just a little bit of color can add so much personality to a room. My favorite color is purple because it's so happy! I'm thinking we'll see a lot of it this Spring.




GDG: Is there anything that you can't wait for this season?

AM: I am looking forward to weekends at the lake with friends and family.




GDG: Can you share any fun examples of going stir crazy this Winter?

AM: Well, I don’t know if you heard that entire city of Atlanta shut down for a week due to a couple inches of snow, but that is enough to drive a person crazy. I could not leave my house for an entire week!
