    developing new spaces and concepts, and we

    to create a brand that becomes a way of life.”

  10. Best advice you’ve received? “My mother
    gave me the advice to always treat people with

    be one day, or if you might cross paths again.” R

coffee. “No day is the same! Coffee is the only predictable thing in my calendar.” French connection She
was initially drawn to her home’s “French charm”, and uses layers of white, including In Bed linens, to enhance
its ornate details. Natural elements A rattan sideboard from Ha’veli lends a coastal ease to her classic
style. Double duty “Presence is important and I love being part of the energy,” Hayley says of her decision
