Palmer Weiss Interior Design, Inc.

Sometimes in life, the universe serves up exactly what you need, and just when you need it. That is exactly what happened for me this past week on the most magical trip to Greece with 11 of the most inspiring and badass ladies I know. I am forever grateful to Gabrey wide open and Charlotte charlotte hardwick for their vision and genius to pull this off. As a lifetime member of the Greek Mermaids Club, I feel renewed, restored and so very thankful for my old and new friends.

A few cabinet details from our recent install…

I can’t believe my baby girl is 20. It has been so fun (and sometimes terrifying) to be your mom. You are fearless in everything from physical challenges to fashion choices. And I challenge anyone to find me a more entertaining person on the planet. Keep doing you, Roo. You are doing it so well. Love you beyond words 💕.

When I think back on my 20 years of being lucky enough to know Dave Dawson, the word “yes” immediately comes to mind. He said “yes” to living life to the fullest and to dreaming big and believing in people. He said “yes” to building community and supporting his friends. I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of so many resounding “yeses” that changed my life and others.

He said “yes” to me in 2011 in San Francisco when I threw him and Michael in the backseat of my Volvo in between car seats and showed him the first Elle Decor showhouse that I knew he just “had” to sponsor. An unlimited amount of fixtures were immediately available to every designer. In 2022, when I asked him to start hosting major designers and events to benefit Charleston’s beloved Spoleto festival, he said “hells yes” and blew my mind with the ensuing events. He has even said “yes” to employing every kid in our family. (Well, that might have been Tommy, but still…) If you texted and said, “Can you talk”, he did not even say “yes,” he just picked up the phone. There was no-one like him.

To Jen and the boys, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for sharing him with all of us so generously. While our insatiable appetite for his company, counsel, and friendship was understandable, I am sure it came with some sacrifices. We are all so grateful. And if you ever need anything from this community of fans and friends, I can promise you the answer will be a loud and resounding “yes.”

Making progress on this one…

I am not done talking about this stairway yet….

Turns out 20 pics is the limit…

File this one under “Powder Rooms That Make Me Happy.” If this was my path from garage to main house, I think I’d be happy to haul in some groceries.

November was a blur…Newport, New York, New Jersey x2, Charleston and a few installs thrown in for good measure. Some of us (Lewis) are rolling into December on two wheels…

I am literally crazy for details. All of them. I love sourcing every last vintage box, antler, antique door pull for curtain tie backs, custom trim, squirrel majolica plate 🐿️, sweet embroidered cocktail napkins, adding the perfect robins egg pop to a pink tweed chair, collecting antique candlesticks, trimming each sconce shade just so or even picking the bluest candlesticks to complement an olive lacquer table. This is where the magic happens and where my joy is found 💫.

Here are just a few of these moments from our Montana project.
