Design Legend Charlotte Moss on the Southern Living Idea House

Charlotte Moss was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia and went to college at VCU, where she was an English major. Her mother didn’t especially love to decorate, but Charlotte was inspired by her grandmother, who created a warm, welcoming home and made entertaining look easy. Charlotte had that gift too, but it never occurred to her that she could make a living decorating other people’s homes, so she spent several years in New York working on Wall Street. Realizing that she didn’t want to be a stockbroker, she quit the job, started an interior design business, and the rest is decorating history. Charlotte has since won just about every interior design award you can win; she’s written eleven books on interior design and gardening; and now she’s designed her first Southern Living Idea House, which reflects her incredible eye for detail in every room. Sid talks to Charlotte about the connection between design and hospitality, some lessons she learned on Wall Street, and the paint color she can’t live without.
