Caroline Gidiere‘s Alabama home must have appeared in everyone’s Instagram feed by now. The interior of the home was the first ere design job of Caroline and it proves that taste when combined with good proportions and good planning always work.

The Interior design was inspired by Caroline’s favorite designers, Miles Redd, Daniel Romualdez, David Netto, Frances Elkins, and Renzo Mongiardino.

Axel Vervoordt is one of the most acclaimed and recognized International Interior Designer. Many people are praising his latest featured project, Kim and Kanye’s home which is a rampant difference from Betty Gertz’s home in Dallas.
