Samantha Knapp

News travels fast– any story that takes longer than two minutes to tell is over before it starts. I should know I made my living telling stories as news reporter. My compensation was humble, but the experience was priceless. The best interviews come from reporters that are able to get to the truth of the story faster then others. Before anyone will tell you anything, it necessary for that person to trust you– to trust you are going to retell their story without bias. That is what drew me to reporting, my natural ability to bond with others. I considered it a gift, and I used to make a difference in the community. One day it could be as simple as giving a bargaining tip and the next day I could be at police headquarters pressuring police to solve a murder. Reporting will always be my passion, and in my heart. I found however, that there is more then one way to connect to people. As the daughter of the dynamic decorating duo Betsy & Robert Knapp, I laughingly say that I am genetically predisposed for creating beautiful accessories and living spaces. With a touch of their guidance and drawing on my inspirations, I created my decorative pillow collection, Samantha Knapp Atelier at Maisonettestore.com. Design gives me the chance to bond with clients on a personal level and build a partnership. Together we craft their living space that expresses my client’s personality and best vision of themselves. The idea for my book came as a natural progression-interactions with people..sprinkled with a few lessons torn from the pages of my “Sex in The City”. I have kissed a lot of frogs sitting on bachelor pads and am still searching for my prince in a “modern-day” castle. Though tough at times, I love the journey of being single. It is a time to celebrate. It is a time to be free of boundaries but not free of good taste. I hope it brings just as much enjoyment, smiles and helpful tidbits as it did to write it. What’s next? If you read this far, I believe I’ve hit the two minute mark and I am all timed out!

Much Love for the Laundress

March 23, 2011 at 3:35 pm by Samantha Knapp

We Love The Laundress & The Laundress Loves Us!

Lindsey Boyd of the Laundress has a clean approach to living, LITERALLY! The crisp, whites she helps to protect with her line “The Laundress” are through out her living space.

I am thrilled to be helping Lindsey as she prepares for her new baby girl. True to her taste, Lindsey steered white when it came to creating a rocking chair for the quiet nights and early morning days when she sooths baby Chloe by rocking her to sleep.

“THE BEFORE”

To stay in Lindsey’s style we chose an antique wing chair and repurposed it the way that only Tiger Lily’s could. We added a swivel to the base of the chair to make it rock, and reupholstered the existing frame in a white Belgium Linen.

“THE AFTER”

The outcome was fantastic. We tied together the room by adding a decorative bolster in the fabric Lindsey has on her roman shade.

A Few Tips:

  • When looking for  a chair to repurpose into a swivel rocker, make sure the base has a low center of gravity. If you take a high legged chair, you will loose quite a bit of the height when you cut off the legs.
  • Choose a fabric that works in your space and plenty of it. To conceal the swivel rocker, the chair will need to be skirted.
  • Think ahead. Just as we repurposed the wing chair to be a swivel, someday the chair might find another home in your house. Using a neutral fabric can help in the transition.
  • Need to keep it clean? Talk to the Laundress!!!
