Kelley Proxmire’s lifelong passion for interior design began in her parents’ living room. In her pre-teen years she was fascinated by the transformation worked on the room by an interior designer. “I would sit for hours,” recalls Proxmire, “studying the fabric mix, the scale of the furniture, the interplay of color. When everyone else bought Seventeen, I was buying House Beautiful.” She went on to immerse herself in the rooms of classic design greats such as Billy Baldwin, Mark Hampton, Frances Elkins, and Michael Taylor. These influences laid the foundation for a style defined by what is beautiful and enduring.
