Henry Road
A Story of Textiles + Patterns Designed by Paula Smail 2004-2014
My childhood home in South Africa was on Henry Road hence the name of this fabulous journey as a designer, chief creative officer, dreamer and jack-of-all-trades. An extraordinary adventure that included all the patterns in this scrapbook, designing and launching a textile collection, a home goods collection sold in stores around the world, pattern licensing deals, a website and two stores in Studio City filled with an eclectic mix of stuff I love, working in some fabulous homes, and great features in the likes of Elle Decor, LA Times, Domino, DesignSponge, and Apartment Therapy. Most of all, a heart warming community of friends, family and customers who laugh often, love interesting stories and finds, and shared this colorful experience with me. And as for Leo, my four legged partner in crime through it all. Thank you for begrudgingly sharing the back seat with vintage chairs, ducking when bolts of fabric went flying and loving everyone who walked in the door. RIP. Cheers, Paula xo
