Grand Reveals from One of America''s Top Designers Barry Dixon
Inspirations takes the reader through eight homes transformed by
renowned designer Barry Dixon. From a cottage and a chic chateau to
a grand estate home, with a high-rise apartment and a row house in
between, we see the broad range of Dixon''s decorating style and
learn what inspired his colors and materials for each location.
Barry Dixon, named "2010 Master of Design" by Veranda magazine, has
worked for such clients as Diane Sawyer and former Senate Majority
Leader Bill Frist. He spent his childhood living in places such as
India, New Caledonia and even South Africa. This early exposure to
many cultures and traditions clearly helped him to become a master
at blending traditional decor with various colors and textures that
are not forgetful about beauty and functionality. In Barry Dixon

choices for colors and materials for designs he created for a beach
house, a renovated urban loft, and more. Designs include: Montecito
