The living room features Room & Board leather sofas and a three-dimensional resin wall sculpture resembling a burled root.
“I took electives in design and worked on volunteer projects,” she relates. “Interior design has always felt like a natural way to express myself.”
Returning to the DC area after college, Taylor took a job with Red House Staging & Interiors, where she had previously interned. “I worked there five years and learned every part of the business,” she notes. “Eventually, I wanted to do more permanent installations.”
In 2016, she launched Brass Bones, which currently handles about six projects a year, selecting furniture, art, lighting and finishes, and consulting on bathroom and kitchen makeovers. In the future, she envisions hiring a small staff but maintaining a boutique-style business.
Taylor describes her aesthetic as contemporary eclectic. “I like a juxtaposition of materials and colors that I hope translates to all styles,” she says. “I look for new and unique pieces and try to push my clients’ boundaries. I want to create something for them that they couldn’t have done without me.”
