Designers we love: Courtney Giles

This afternoon I wanted to highlight one of my favorite designers as well as one of my greatest friends, Courtney Giles. Just one look at her fabulous rooms will make you swoon! She was recently been featured in House Beautiful's "The Next Wave" and she certainly is making some waves of her own. Here is a little information about Courtney from her website:

Courtney Giles Interiors is a full-service, high end residential design firm. Courtney works closely with her clients to create clean, classic, and comfortable settings. While carefully editing each space, she incorporates the stylistic preferences and personalities of her clients. Whether traditional, glamorous, or contemporary, Courtney creates enticing rooms her clients want to spend time in.

A native of Alabama, Courtney, Allied Member of ASID, attained her design degree from Auburn University where she is a board member of the Interior Design program. A semester spent in Europe inspired her love of Classical Art and Architecture. After graduation, she moved to Atlanta where she spent eight years working with Carter Kay Interiors. During her tenure with Carter Kay, she had the opportunity to work on several large scale and budget projects. Many of those projects involved working closely with well known architects from the beginning to end of the project.

Courtney was recently selected as part of House Beautiful's "Next Wave". In January 2011, Giles was selected by Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles as part of their "10 Under 40 - Atlanta's New Tastemakers". Her own townhouse was featured on the September 2007 cover of Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, and she has been featured on various blogs including: Peak of Chic, Habitually Chic, Things That Inspire, La Dolce Vita, and Style Court. Courtney has worked on projects throughout the Southeast, Colorado, Manhattan, and as far afield as the Netherlands.

...to NYC that is! My great friend Courtney Giles and I are headed to the big apple this afternoon for a much-needed girls weekend. We are going to spend most of our time shopping, eating, drinking and being merry in the best city to visit during the holiday season! We are even supposed to have a little snow Sunday, which will make for some great pictures. But, alas, I could not visit New York without doing a few arts-related things. So, our plan is to spend Saturday visiting the cutting-edge Lower East Side Galleries. I hear from some wise curator/dealer friends of mine that they will certainly not disappoint! So, here is our short list:

1. Sunday - 237 Eldridge Street
Talyor Davis: boardroom no. 1

2. nicelle beauchene - 163 Eldridge Street
ALMOST, curated by Lance Goldsmith

3. Lehmann Maupin - 201 Chrystie Street
Tracey Emin: Only God Knows I'm Good

4. Eleven Rivington - 11 Rivington Street
Volker Hueller: Solo Show

5. envoy - 131 Chrystie Street
Elise Ferguson: Capital X

6. Small A Projects - 261 Broome Street
Jesse Willenbring: Landscapes & Interiors Meour

Have a great weekend...I know I will be!
