The Reimagined Lovelace Interiors
Next Article
As a lover of all things beautiful, it is my honor and privilege to have created and founded Lovelace Interiors with my late husband, Dewitt “Sparky” Marshall Lovelace, over 28 years ago. Many of my clients have become lifelong friends, and I am so grateful for them. We’ve traveled the world together, and I’m still designing alongside my team in and around Scenic Highway 30-A, Destin, and Inlet Beach, Florida, as well as Aspen and Napa Valley, to name a few areas. The world is changing, and so is our industry. Like so many others, we are pivoting with the times. Our beautiful Inlet Beach showroom is gearing up to have the sale of the century, with 50% off select items (excluding original artwork), as we are reimagining our business model for the coming year. We will open a new studio in Miramar Beach in place of our Inlet Beach showroom, which will close in February 2024. Stay tuned for more details on our exciting new adventure as we introduce you to The Lovelace Design Studio. The ethos of our newly imagined lifestyle boutique is to continue making your homes lovely and curated from the ground up. Our licensed team of interior designers is ready to create and serve you with our A-game of experience, taste, class, and business acumen; in short, our goal is to move forward with grace, elegance, and a fresh outlook on bringing beautiful things to life.
With Love,
Keep an eye on our social marketing channels and the pages of VIE magazine as we announce our big showroom sale running from early fall through midFeburary. I can’t wait to share more about this journey with you!

The original “it girls,” Vicky Tiel and her best friend-turned-business partner, Mia Fonssagrives, stand in front of their Parisian boutique at 21 Rue Bonaparte. The pair met at Parsons School of Design in New York City, which Tiel dropped out of, and just a year later made their debut as designers in the Louis Feraud runway show in the City of Light. Tiel’s fashion and beauty career spans sixty-seven years, starting when she designed styles for her middle-school classmates. She shares many stories with us in our Fashion & Entertainment Issue feature story on page 24!
