We see the wounds from Your hands and pierced side
Extravagant love! Oh how great the price…now our lives are Yours”

Designer Spotlight: Cathy Kincaid

~ Decorating, Designer Spotlight

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:3‬ ‭

Welcome back to our Designer Spotlight series!  You may remember my posts on Charles Faudree, Betty Lou Phillips, and Tobi Fairley…and today we will take a look at Dallas based interior designer, Cathy Kincaid.  Her style has always been of great interest to me.  I have studied her design in every shelter magazine that has published her work over many years.  Her designs are classic but fresh.  Her design philosophy resonates with me, “I love the value of the mix.  It is the one aspect of design that I adhere to -the old with the new, the ornate with the simple, the refined with the rustic.” I hope you enjoy touring some of her beautiful rooms!

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭

Easter is one of our favorite holidays…but it sure is a busy one!  We spent the morning with our faith family at church, and the afternoon/evening at our house with family…such a wonderful day celebrating our risen Lord!!  We had the full spread…dressing made from my Mother’s recipe, baked ham, green beans, deviled eggs, potato salad, and we topped off the evening with a lemon cheesecake…that will be making an appearance on the blog really soon!  It was a hit!  It was a big weekend, so when Monday rolled around, I decided to go simple and spring-y on our tablescape for four this week!

I love to mix greens and pinks for a springtime feel!
