Summary

Betsey Mosby, interior designer and owner of Betsey Moby Interior Design, pairs the contemporary with the tried and true to create spaces that are traditional with a twist. We caught Betsey while she was in Atlanta on a new client project and talked with her about using pieces you already love and how she helps clients develop a space where they can live their life comfortably. What You’ll Hear on This Episode: Trials regarding a hornet’s nest, a NYC apartment fire, and a not so hidden garbage can. Triumphs on some great Target Anniversary purchases, new living room love and nice looking melamine plates. Betsey works with clients to use what they already love, and to add new furniture and accessories that will stand the test of time. Betsey is all about helping clients develop a space where they can live comfortably in an environment that suits their particular lifestyle. Betsey took an unconventional path to design, but her background as a CPA helped her in the business and entrepreneurial side of things. Your best advertisement is your last client. When Betsey starts a room at a showhouse, it is her to her truest form. Why a good power wash can have performance furniture and rugs looking just like new. Embrace where you are at every stage of design. We can make our own rules when it comes to creating new places for guests to sit and be comfortable while entertaining. Hanging art on the headboard is a new way to make the space interesting. Monograms are a way to add a classy touch to soft goods such as towels and linens. Betsey’s use of lattice in a room to create a warm yet polished look. More about the Southern Idea Living Showhouse.
