The Way We Live: A Fashion Designer's Home

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Nanette Mervin of Ginger at her home in Berkley.  We got together to discuss collaborating on a photo shoot featuring her stylish caftans and The Cass Clutch, but I had an ulterior motive.   Having seen images of her home on Instagram and admiring her style, I knew it was going to be an amazing space to photograph for my blog.  Sooo, I brought along my camera and without any advance notice, I convinced her to let me take some snapshots of it.  She was a bit apprehensive at first, but as we discussed what makes a house a home (in my opinion*), and the criteria at play before I consider doing a "The Way We Live" feature, she graciously obliged.

Nan's passion for art, vintage glass and fashion is showcased in each of the rooms adding warmth, creativity and substance to the entire home.  Her caftans are offsprings of 'something old made new again' just like The Cass Clutch is.  

I'm so glad to have met her and look forward to working together in the future.  In the mean time, take a tour of this very unique home.

Thank you, Nanette, for sharing your beautiful home with my readers!

*"The Way We Live" features spaces that reflect the character, interests and personality of their inhabitants.  Spaces that are both lived in and deliberately appointed.
