SHOPS AND EVENTS

SPECIAL EVENT
“Be Inspired”
by SUZANNE KASLER
August 21, 2010  |  11 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Program, lunch, and book signing
at the Country Club of Sapphire Valley
120 Handicap Drive, off Highway 64E
Sapphire, North Carolina

Suzanne Kasler is inspired. She used to be Atlanta’s little secret, but now she is internationally acclaimed. Kasler has been featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Traditional Home, House & Garden, Southern Accents, Veranda, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles and, most recently, was named to Elle Decor’s A List, placing her among the design elite.

Kasler brings Southern charm, European sensibility and a respect for architectural details to her interiors. Her work showcases blue chip furniture used as sculpture, and her spaces reflect a serene balance of luxury and relaxation. “A room should be collected, not decorated,” says Kasler. Her keen sense of meaningful interiors guided her launch of signature licensed product lines in fabrics, furniture and lighting. There and everywhere, Kasler pays attention to intricate details with a deft use of couture-like finishes and an artful sense of sublime color selections.
    Kasler headlines the 2010 Cashiers Designer Showhouse™ as a designer, keynote speaker and as the author of her first book, Inspired Interiors. A wealth of imaginative design ideas can be found in her book, which is available for purchase at the end of the lecture.
