In 1974, Mimi Maddock McMakin began her
design career With Jessup, Inc, one of the first design firms
in Palm Beach. She continued there until opening Kemble
Interiors, a full-service decorating and design firm, in 1982.
Brooke Wendel Huttig's influence as a
designer came at an early age from her mother, Jane Wendel,
with whom she worked for twenty-five years. Mrs. Wendel was a
prominent designer to the Palm Beach clients of the Kennedy
era.
This design duo joined forces in 1987 and
have been a team ever since. They are responsible for the
design and decoration of countless hotels, clubs, homes and
yachts all over the world. Their work and design advice is
regularly featured in House Beautiful, Elle Decor,
Veranda, Architectural Digest, Southern
Accents, Florida Design, House and Garden.
They have also been listed for years among House Beautiful's
"Top 100 Designers." |

"This collection is innovative and
beautiful. It's hard to believe this is recycled
product" says Cliff Tuttle, Sr. Vice President of Forrest
Perkins. "Valley Forge has really hit one out of the
park with their FRESH
collection. By having a truly sustainable product with
cutting-edge patterns and colors that can be customized,
designers can offer their clients choices which are
environmentally responsible." Valley
Forge is developing an interactive environmental contribution
program for release in late 2008. Customers will be able
to select from a list of screened environmental charities and
a portion of all sales of FRESH
fabrics will be donated per yard sold to each of these
specific organizations. |
