The moment I met Holly Hollingsworth Phillips I was a fan! Her name, her energy AND her style were intoxicating! When women open their hearts and minds and work together they can make dinners and decorate rooms…both inspired by the same ingredient.

At Salted and Styled, we believe food inspires all aspects of our lives including our homes. We sent Holly two images we took of one of our favorite vegetables –turnips. We didn’t discuss…we just let Holly’s creativity take over. The results, like Holly and Salted and Styled, are filled with personality, an organic sensibility and big pops of color.

And here are a few of Holly’s beautiful picks! Isn’t it intriguing how a turnip has shades of Pantone’s 2014 Color of the Year (Radiant Orchid 18-3224)?
