All-American, Ralph Lauren Guest Blogging & Lake Tahoe Home

Today I am thrilled to be a guest blogger at Tobi Fairley’s Blog. Tobi’s an award-winning interior designer based in Little Rock and her work has been featured on the cover of House Beautiful.

“All-American” was the topic Tobi selected for her guest blogger series. She left the theme broad, but the iconic Ralph Lauren came to mind instantly.

My mother’s loves for all things Ralph Lauren definitely influenced my decision to focus on his work for Tobi’s article. Not only does my mom love his clothing line, her home in the in Lake Tahoe is also layered in furnishings, pillows and linens from Ralph Lauren Home. She even changes the look seasonally. Jewel tones, plaids and velvets make up the look for winter, while the summer months are a fresh, nautical blue & white.

I took a series of photos of my parent's home earlier this summer while celebrating my dad’s 70th birthday. The image above is the living room and most of the furniture is slipcovered for the summer months. The sofa, ottoman and wing chairs are all covered in Ralph Lauren fabrics although you can’t see them from this image. This winter, I will try to get some shots without the slips.

Here are some more images from some of the other rooms that feature Ralph Lauren...
