YAM Magazine - INTERIOR COUTURE with Patricia Gray

I just found out that I got the front cover on YAM Magazine; the article titled Interior Coture. Thank-you Ivan Meade for writing such a great article and Joshua Lawrence for the photography.

If Canada has a celebrity among interior designers, it is
Patricia Gray, the designer of choice for stars like John Travolta — and the
woman whose approach to design can best be described as couture. Only the
rarest of interior designers develops the kind of signature style that seems to
come so naturally to Vancouver’s Patricia Gray. It’s a style which, over a
three-decade career, has won her accolades, awards, and features in prestigious
magazines like Architectural Digest. Nowhere is Gray’s signature style showcased
more naturally than in her eight-story Alberni Street live/work townhome. Here,
the vibe is cosmopolitan but there’s no clinical showroom sensibility — this space
is designed for living beautifully.

Gray is one of those creatives whose design sensibilities
seem to have evolved seamlessly from traditional to contemporary, never bowing to
trendiness but always seeming au courant. Gray doesn’t do trends; she sets
trends. She even creates fine art for her clients and produces custom furniture
through her own millwork company, upholstery workroom, and drapery workroom. As
the daughter of a couture seamstress, is it any wonder Gray describes her approach
to interior design as couture? And yes, if these rooms could walk, they would
be on the world’s most fashionable runways........continued Interior CoutureInterior Couture
