ramey caulkins and sister parish designs
When I was in High School the girl with the most style hands down was Ramey Griffin. I loved sleep-overs at Ramey’s Dads fabulous home with the biggest kitchen I’d ever seen stocked with treats, a real jukebox in the living room and a swimming pool out back. But best of all was Ramey’s bedroom. It was the type of bedroom every girl dreams about. Not only was the room from bedspread to curtains covered in precious patterns of pink and green but she had a tv inside an armoire and her own massive bathroom! I was lucky that Ramey and I were friends so I got to spend lots of time in that dream of a bedroom.
It’s no surprise then that Ramey, now Ramey Caulkins, is now an interior designer who’s Maine vacation home was recently featured in the July edition of Coastal Living. I was so happy to see the photo’s of her home and see that she still loves pink and green! Ramey has filled her home with the cheerful fabrics and wallpaper of Sister Parish Designs to give her home that “loose and livable” style she favors. You’ll have to pick up the magazine for more information about her fabulous home.

To those of us who grew up with Ramey it comes as no surprise that she has such an incredible eye for design.
Thanks for covering this story Larkyn.

Our daughter was inspired by the July issue you refer to above and is now decorating our 2 year old granddaughter’s bedroom in the style shown on the magazine’s pages. Loved reading the history above, fascinating. Now when people come in and see the bright green walls, she knows they will soon see her inspiration when it all comes together. Thanks for sharing – I included a link to your site and your story above in my blog so people could enjoy your story and understand a little more about our daughter’s direction. Thank you!

Thanks Jillana! I can’t wait to see pictures of your granddaughters room. Can you email me your blog address? For some reason it didn’t show up.
Thanks, Larkyn
