Texture, material and size also play major roles when choosing house ac- cessories and furniture. For those looking to build a home or seek- ing interior design help, AnnMarie gives some wonderful advice. Her experience with start-to-finish home design cannot be contested. "Aer I built my home from the ground up, that's when I knew I loved build- ing because I was there for every decision. I was pursuing everything. I started draw- ing and working for friends. It somehow grew from sketches on my kitchen table to a small spot downtown to a large business. In my field some people don't have formal training, they just have an eye for it. To progress my career, I took courses on color and paint, I tried to educate myself about furnishing and molding. I got into building and I loved get- ting right on the site and placing the home on the land. I work with architects and I am now a licensed contractor.

He said, "When we chose to build the house almost 20 years ago we stayed with my Aunt and Uncle in Richmond, Virginia to study Plantation Homes on the James River. AnnMarie and I spent time looking at mold- ings and details found in the historic homes located in Virginia. We brought these details back to reproduce in our home." A person who grows with their business is destined for success. AnnMarie's remarkable journey through the field of interior design and contracting is apparent through her own gorgeous home and her attitude towards life. She is a bright and bubbly woman with a flare of business etiquette and an equal amount of panache. Luckily enough, CityView was able to catch her right aer her tropical vacation in Tahiti and Bora Bora. e trip was strictly for pleasure, not work she insisted. Despite the Locklear's Louvre-contesting residence that is truly an ode to artwork, the family still remembers what truly makes a house a home – they have Taylor Reed's childhood artworks framed amongst their most prized possessions.
