STALKER SATURDAYS: JOAN BEHNKE

I kind of feel like I'm letting out a well kept secret right now...  so here goes... 

One of my favorite interior designers is Joan Behnke. 

There is not a whole lot you can find on Joan's background other than she credits her passion for design beginning at age 5 when she'd spend her time designing homes for her Barbies.  Since then, her love for interiors has turned into a rewarding career working with celebrity and fortune 500 clientele. 

Joan's style epitomizes luxurious, timeless, old world interiors - where no detail is left untouched.  I love her approach when it comes to mixing prints, textures, fabrics, wallpapers and art.  I am constantly scouring the internet and magazines with hopes of finding one of her more recent projects.  Her work is so inspiring to me and carries such a wide vocabulary of design ideas that I am frequently referencing her website. 

I can't quite figure out why her work is still relatively unknown, however I kind of like the fact that she's been my little secret... I guess until now :)

enjoy...
