Coterie Crush on Charleston Designer Sandra Ericksen
With Sandra Ericksen’s design firm located in the historic French Quarter District of Charleston, she is surrounded by inspiration. “It’s a joy to be in a creative profession, says Sandra. I get to assist people who value their homes and want them to reflect their style and personality.” Sandra has a flair for bringing in one-of-a-kind and antique pieces to mix with her client’s personal items and create a unique environment.
Sandra’s design work has brought her into contact with Charleston’s talented art community which led to her co-founding Charleston Art Tours where they customize tours viewing Charleston’s premier art galleries.
You will love learning about this creative gal’s favorites as much as I did here…
FABRIC COLLECTION:
John Robshaw for Duralee – They look great when used to do an entire space but a pillow here and there really helps to give any room some oomph and feel a bit worldly.
CHINA PATTERN:
I recently did a photo shoot in my dining room for a local magazine and discovered the William Yeoward Giralda pattern. It looks great with all my things so now I covet it. However, I still love my original Royal Doulton, Catherine pattern, milky white with a silver band. Simple and yet never boring. However, it is discontinued.
PAINT COLOR:
Impossible….it changes with each project!
DESIGN BLOG:
English Room. I admire her style and wish I could make myself blog with such regularity
CANDLE:
Votivo #63 Celadon Tea
ANTIQUE SHOP:
South Windemere Antiques. So many designers have booths and there is always something unexpected.
DESIGNERS:
Easy. Suzanne Kasler
ARTIST:
I also own an art tour business, Charleston Art Tours, so this one is excruciating to narrow down. I own more Karen Hagan art so that must say something!
COLLECTION:
Not sure what you mean with this one….I personally don’t collect any one line or item (i.e. majolica, Staffordshire, etc.). I do find that I can always make room for a quirky occasional chair.
SOUTHERN ESSENTIAL:
Hospitality. I think that’s why everyone takes pride in their home – we love to entertain.
Sandra’s STYLE IN FIVE WORDS OR LESS:
Casually collected, timeless and comfortable.
