The National Gallery of Art’s Boudin exhibit and Sophia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette  were the inspiration for this breezy and light FOYER retreat, not unlike Marie’s country estate, Petit hameau, at Versailles with a little of Captain Jack Sparrow thrown in for good measure … treasure in a patina-turquoise chest!

From your resting chaise on the patio, after watching the Ashley River marsh as seen in the painting of Daphne vomBaur, and passing thru the palace or plantation-like archway onto a Louie XVI rug, you feel the connection between South Carolina’s river plantations and its waterways or a lake at Versailles. And, you relax in the beauty of an earlier time.

Just as in the ENTRY with a “Boudin-like” beach scene, the sound and smell of the ocean permeate your senses, and you fall onto a soft seat to enjoy one of life’s many pleasures- a picnic of bread and wine.

Judith Loomis Designs

Attending four years at the University of Maryland, Judith Loomis moved to Europe for four years to live and work. Returning to the states, she worked as an Interior Designer for twenty years with the US/GSA government. During this time, she was requested to work at the White House for three of those years and completed many Presidential appointees and heads of agencies’ offices, such SCC, FBI, Archives, Kennedy and Truman Libraries, etc.

Judith’s love of interior design and the satisfaction she gets by creating beautiful spaces for happy clients led her to open her own full-service interior design firm in 1992 , Judith Loomis DESIGNS.

In addition to teaching interior design and Feng Shui for the past ten years, Judith enjoys co-producing a film series for the Unitarian Church in Reston and volunteering at the U.S. Botanic Garden in DC.
