Designer spotlight on Barry Dixon and his recently completed project at Blackberry Farm.

 

Blackberry Farm may not be in DC, but interior designer Barry Dixon brought a little DC design with him on his recent update to this historic luxury resort. This 4,200-acre estate in the Great Smoky Mountains recently received an update from barry.  With the help of Madeleine Mitchel in the DC Doris Leslie Blau showroom, Barry transformed a room with a custom 40 foot yak wool and silk rug. Described as "thick, plush luxury underfoot," this custom rug is the epitome of luxury carpeting.
