In the Field
By Elizabeth Irvin

Albert Hadley at Rooms With A View, his annual charity event, Southport, CT - November, 2008

Sandra Morgan Interiors was invited to participate in this popular event. Sandra Morgan was one of 12 interior designers who created  imaginative vignettes for last year's theme ''Muse and Inspiration.'' Each designer was given a raw space 8 feet by 10 feet.

Please see below for excerpts from ''In The Field'' an article by Elizabeth Ervin, who covered the event for this magazine.

Familiar elements such as modern art and a laptop are merged with royal bespoke tastes

Sandra Morgan Interiors
''I like to create a fresh approach to classic design. Combining antiques with contemporary art and accessories brings energy to a room.'' Incorporating Swedish antiques-the Gustavian period in particular-into modern elements facilitates a seamless blend. Lightly painted surfaces lend a purity that is both elegant and informal.

Sandra Morgan's royal delight used the young cultured King Gustav III as a muse, and displayed her inspirations from Swedish style. Merging her design into the 21 century, Morgan not only reflected the bespoke taste of the young King, but she integrated familiar elements such as modern art, a laptop, and graphic horizontal striped walls. While each designer's portfolio touts a keen sense of style and proportion, their ability to delve into their own, personal design process renders their capabilities endless. Unlike any client's project, all of the designers were faced with the same obstacle, complete control. After being handed the same blank page, this year's Rooms with a View acknowledges that each one of these designers truly has a beautiful mind.
