Modern Interior Design - Fancy Appartment in Dalla's Interior Design Ideas
In the world of furniture and fabrics, George Cameron Nash is a name synonymous with top-drawer quality and timeless style. His sleek Texas showrooms at the Dallas Design Center and Decorative Center Houston are capacious, light-infused spaces that hum with efficiency as designers, representing an elite and far-flung clientele, examine fabrics by manufacturers such as Rogers & Goffigon and Bennison and jot down orders for furniture from the likes of Rose Tarlow-Melrose House, Holly Hunt and Nash's own Cameron Collection with its Meyerland line.

The conductors of this well-orchestrated production are Nash himself and his twenty-two-year partner in both professional and personal life, Mark Williams. With a perfect blend of Nash's right-brain creativity and Williams' left-brain former banker acuity, the pair joined forces to direct one of the busiest design firms in the country.
Naturally, Nash and Williams' apartment in Dallas represents the best of their sleekly polished, comfortably luxe style. The residence is an exquisitely crafted sanctuary where sunlight flows through floor-to-ceiling windows to bathe cool white walls in an open floor plan. Gleaming oak plank floors are dyed a deep sable.
Says Nash, "Our home is an edited assemblage of things I love to work with the most: favorite pieces by Holly Hunt and Rose Tarlow-Melrose House, plus art, antiques and accessories we've collected through the years. The color scheme is primarily black and white with accents of gold, cobalt blue and red. This home has a cosmopolitan electricity that suits us."
Their home also suits the four canine companions who share the space: three West Highland terriers and one Norwich terrier. When it came time to decide whether to stay in their former house with its backyard or become apartment dwellers, Nash says with a laugh, "The needs of our dogs came first. Two years ago, we were told of this great apartment in a mid-1960s building. Being on this floor gives us easy access to a nearby creek and parks — perfect for the dogs."
Plus, the building's own pedigree — the prominent, late architect George L. Dahl designed it — combined with this unit's generous natural light and luxurious wrap-around terrace, make it a perfect fit for the human inhabitants as well.
"We have a country house in East Texas, where we escape each weekend," relates Nash, "so we were looking for a city apartment where we could load up the wagon on Friday afternoon, slam the door and go."
The home serves as a design laboratory where they occasionally try out pieces from their showrooms. "We've sold three sets of our own dining room furniture to designers needing to finish a job quickly, but this set is here to stay. Rose Tarlow designed the chair, named after her mother, Violet, and added a chinoiserie finish."
The sophistication, good architecture, pet friendliness, access to outdoor beauty and proximity to the Dallas showroom made the decision to move from house to apartment an easy one. "The sum of all the parts," says Nash, "adds up to a place we love to come home to every day."
