Anne Coyle is a Chicago based interior designer.
Featured in the Tribune magazine and Elle Decor, her spaces are recognizable for the combination of classic shapes with modern colors and patterns for wallcoverings, upholstery fabrics and paint choices.
Her website shows off the pieces she favors - her style is fairly traditional with some glamorous vintage items and unusual color choices to liven things up. It's a bit of a mash up of Hollywood Regency, Asian pieces, Jonathan Adler style seventies retro and influences from nature...
I cant wait to see her portfolio when her website is finished. That being said, it is incorrect to call her an interior designer which legally means that she has been licensed. Therefore interior decorator is the appropriate term
Wow. So lovely.
lovely, yes! u said it MiM,
sheer funk + elegance, i get happy seeing her work in Elle
She has a shell of a sea turtle in one photograph, some painted sea stars in the other, some sea fan corals in the third. Not to mention a rather real looking zebra skin with ears and a mane attached. Sure, maybe some of them are casts of the real animals, but that still means a sea star bit the dust for the sake of interior decorating. I personally have nothing against shell or starfish collection if you care what these animals are and would like to study them further up close. But a sea turtle's shell should not be used as a quaint. All sea turtles are listed as endangered species.

Ashley - Thank-you for pointing out & defining the difference between interior DESIGNER and interior DECORATOR. I wish that people would stop saying DESIGNER when they are really DECORATORs and that term would come beck into vogue again, instead of having the connotations of dusty overstuffed (not in a good way), ugly 80's floral style, done by bored housewives who sent away to a mail order catalogue for a home instruction course.... a decorator may indeed 'design' a space, and does provide a valuable srevice, but still there is a fundamental difference between that and an interior designer.
