An evening to welcome, gather, and celebrate.
We were honored to host Nate Berkus (@nateberkus ) and his incredible team—along with Adam Rathe (@adamrathe ), Deputy Features Director of Town & Country—ahead of the Mint Museum Auxiliary Spring Symposium (@mintauxiliary ). It was an intimate night filled with meaningful conversation, familiar faces, and a shared love for thoughtful, layered design.
Moments like these, around the table, are what make this community so special.
Special curation by Circa Birmingham (@circabirmingham ) & Circa Antiques (@circa2antiques ).
A wonderful start to an inspiring few days. ✨

Packing for vacation, Coco Leto style. 🌴
To prep for our recent trip, we did some shopping with Coco Leto, thoughtfully picked for island days, slow mornings, beach dinners, and everything in between.
We love pieces that feel playful, elevated, and easy to live in while traveling with little ones, and Coco Leto always gets it right. From travel essentials to the sweetest vacation outfits, the girls had the best time choosing what’s coming along for the trip! ✈️

To the woman who makes our world go ’round ✨
Designer, curator, traveler, host, tastemaker—and somehow still the heart of it all. Today, we celebrate Cindy: the visionary behind Circa Antiques, and bringing spaces to life at Smith Interiors.
She has an eye for beauty, a gift for gathering, and a way of making every place—and every person—feel special. Happy birthday from all of us, Cindy!

The entrance sets the rhythm for everything that follows—a quiet introduction to the way a home feels, moves, and welcomes.
Thoughtful layers, natural texture, and a sense of calm from the very first step in.

🏺Layered lighting — ambient, task, and accent all working together.
🏺Balanced scale + negative space — not every corner needs filling.
🏺Strong architectural details — trim, millwork, and good bones.
🏺Intentional finishes — color matters, but so does texture and sheen.
🏺Window treatments that elevate — hung high, wide, and to the floor.
🏺Clear art hierarchy — one focal point, the rest supporting.
🏺Material contrast — soft vs. hard, matte vs. gloss.
🏺Grounding rugs — defining zones, not just filling space.
🏺Symmetry or asymmetry — done with purpose.
🏺A cohesive color story — repeated, not random.
What are your favorite design details?
#interiordesign #charlotteinteriordesigner #smithinteriors #curatedliving #charlotteinteriordesign
Some of the best rooms are defined as much by what’s left out as what’s brought in.
Every element is intentional, allowing space to breathe, light to move, and the design to feel quietly complete.
#curatedinteriors #charlotteinteriordesign #charlotteinteriordesigner #curatedantiques #intentionaldesign
Every element was considered—not just for how it looks, but for how it lives. Materials that wear in, not out. Finishes that nod to automotive heritage without feeling thematic. Storage that’s seamless, but intentional. Lighting that knows when to highlight and when to recede. What’s your favorite detail?
Bahamas, mid-century, and Céline Dion, of course. What are your design dreams for 2026?

April, in review.
April kept us on our toes—from behind-the-scenes moments to events, dinners, and on-site visits. We welcomed meaningful collaborations, shared time around the table, and celebrated design in its many forms—here’s to all May will bring!

Volume like this invites intention.
With soaring, clipped ceilings as our canvas, we leaned into layers—drapery and tailored Roman shades to soften the architecture, antiques and collected pieces to ground it, and a mix of textures and heights to create rhythm throughout the room. Fit with plenty of the finest antiques from @circa2antiques of course ✨
