open-minded. It made me want to see the world – to constantly be having new experiences, broadening my horizons and gaining new perspectives.” She also constantly broadens her


horizons when it comes to design, which has evolved over time as she has grown. “Whatever home I purchase and


design, I do stick with the bones of the house,” she explains. “The bones determine how the house will be designed. My taste is a combination of contemporary and classic. Contemporary furnishings with classic pieces from your travels make your house a home. Living in Europe has taught me that contemporary doesn’t necessarily mean cold. Europeans will mix the two styles, which adds warmth. Because of that I do not do ‘trendy.’ For me, trendy is a dirty word in design. “ What’s the only thing she says she


would change in her life right now? “I would ask for more than 24 hours in a day.” She admits she is secretly obsessed with sunflower seeds and always lives by two life mottos: “Do unto others as you want them to do unto you; and never lie.” As for her future plans for the


charming and sincere, I was his from then on. After two months of dating we were engaged to be married.” The Baroness adds that she never


loses her roots. “Growing up in humble circumstances and being around my mother and her circle of free-thinkers made me a lot more


organizations she works with, she said, “I helped to organize and host a fundraiser in May with AINA and March to the Top to benefit The New Hope Orphanage and Clinic in Meru, Kenya, and I’m planning another trip to Africa to continue to see what each school and orphanage needs most from our efforts.”
