Decorator Article in Southern Accents - Features Majolica
The Sept/Oct 2009 issue of Southern Accents has an article titled Capturing Cashiers, by Grace Collins Barr. It guides us through a spectacular North Carolina mountain retreat of Dorothy and Walter Fletcher. Several of the rooms feature majolica as a predominate decorative art. The article starts on page 102 and I couldn't find the same photos at the Southern Accents web. The issue is currently at home delivery and you can find majolica throughout the dinning and kitchen areas.
