What surprises you about Raleigh?  The collaborative, make-it-happen, entrepreneurial and professional women I’ve had the privilege of working and becoming friends with. It is here that I discovered the importance of maintaining a girl gang, posse, support system, whatever you wanna call it – something that didn’t cross my mind when I braved a cross country move from LA 8 years ago. Life will inevitably happen – marriage, kids, divorce, career growth, business fail, loss of a parent – and I needed the shared experience, insight, empathy and counsel of other women to make sense of it all. Women coming together to support each other in life and in business bring joy and vibrancy to this community and I’m so grateful to be a part of it.

"Date 1944. Sorority sisters at the University of Texas." by sdasfvrce in OldSchoolCoolOn East Lake Shore Drive, this co-op project combined 2 separate units last updated in the '60s into 1 lavish apartment with a gut-remodel, relocating the kitchen to the front of the apartment overlooking the lake.  Interior by Summer Thornton Design
ter bath, Thornton juxtaposed diagonal swaths of Calacatta Monet marble with Breccia stone to distract from the room’s asymmetrical layout while providing a unique take on tradition, highlighted by the Waterworks fixtures and a freestanding tub by Ann Sacks. The oak paneling was detailed with black molding, a reference to the hand-painted ceiling in the living room.
