I am a designer by trade, an artist and a dreamer by God's design.  My mind is busy every moment of everyday with thoughts of "what if?". Beautiful things inspire me and I seek out places that fill my soul with warmth and happiness.

Vintage Living by Lisa Luby Ryan is one of those places...overflowing with loveliness and charm. Walking through the front door brings on a blissful sigh as you escape the hustle bustle of the street and your daily schedule. Lose yourself, if only for a few moments, in one of their beautiful design books. Pamper yourself with lotion from Lothantique, drift away to far off places with candles by Low Country LUXE and dream of living in a french country farmhouse as you discover glorious european antiques with the perfect patina.

Vintage Living is the creation of Lisa Luby Ryan, a renowned interior designer, product designer, mentor, brilliant business woman and entreprenuer. She is one of the country's most saught-after designers and for good reason as her work is simply breathtaking.

Last week, I had the priviledge of spending the afternoon with Lisa and her staff at Vintage Living and what a delight it was. A simply lovely afternoon surrounded by luxurious Bella Notte linens, beautiful lamps designed by Lisa for Arteriors, and gorgeous perfectly patinated european antiques hand-selected by Lisa herself and artfully arranged into dreamy vignettes by her very talented staff. The store is lovely, it will inspire you, warm your heart and carry you across the pond to places you may have only dreamed of.

Lisa and her staff were ever so thrilled to share their love for the world they have created within Vintage Living. And I am so honored to be able to share it with you. Take a look at the video below of Lauren White, one of Lisa's very talented sales staff members, as she tells us about their gorgeous Bella Notte Linens.

(Pardon my voice at the beginning of the video urging Lauren to "go ahead", lol. Working on my video skills!)

Here is another video where Lauren shares the elements of a Vintage Living  bed. Loving the bed skirt from Bella Notte! What a brilliant idea!! And the custom designed pillows add just the right touch of color and texture dont you think?

Hope you have enjoyed our time today in Vintage Living. It is truly one of my favorite places to visit. Stay tuned for Part 2 of Vintage Living with a personal interview with Lisa. Coming soon!
