Scenic wallpaper may seem to be a strange material choice for a bathroom. Yet, Sally and I knew wallpaper was to play a major role in our DXV Design Panel bathroom from the moment we began designing the room. To create our scenic wallpaper, we also knew that Doug, Lena and Brooke of Zoe Design were the...
Beautiful crown molding is a wonderful way to enhance the style and feel of your home. DIY’ers and readers who are currently in the design process take note! In this post, I am going to share with you, crown moulding details and specifications (and variations) of several of the crowns we designed for a French...
We’ve been included in Ocean Home magazine’s 2017 Top 50 Coastal Interior Designers list! Originally, this post was to celebrate the 8 page spread about our Prides Crossing project in the February/March 2017 issue of Ocean Home magazine. (The digital link can be found here.) We are so appreciative of editor Andrew Conway coming to our house and spending two hours...
The blog has suffered of late as Sally’s and my attention has been fully focused on working with a group of wonderful consultants throughout the spring and summer on Wilson Kelsey Design’s new brand identity, website, logo and stationery. Thank you Leslie Carothers, social media/branding guru and founder of The Kaleidoscope Partnership and Lesli Ink, web and...

It was much like answering the question we ask of ourselves when designing a project...
This Saturday, Sally and I were delighted to learn Ocean Home magazine had named Wilson Kelsey Design as one of it’s 2016 Top 50 Interior Designers. “The Ocean Home 50 includes high-profile designers – including Bunny Williams, Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Vicente Wolf – but also an array of lesser-known yet equally masterful interior designers creating exceptional designs...
The holiday break is over, the new year has begun and we’re back at it at the WKD Ranch. I have projects going into construction and new ones on the boards. Sally has completed designing several little and one large decorative gems and has new ones in the works. The year is starting off well....
Last spring, Sally and I prepared and video taped a 90 minute presentation about French Style based on our trips to Paris that we presented as part of Boston Design Week. The premise was to share our knowledge and what we have learned about how to create French Style in Your Home. The presentation was broken down...
If Sally and I had tickets to fly to Paris for the Holidays this year, we would go in a minute. Sadly we do not… If we were, we would plan another visit to the Louvre. It’s collections are so vast, it is impossible to see them all in a day. My guess it would take...
