Local artist and fellow CofC grad, Lulie Wallace is a favorite of curators and interior designers alike.  You’ve probably seen her work through collaborations with Anthropologie and Serena and Lily or in magazines such as Domino, Coastal Living, and the Land Of Nod. She was one of Charlie’s 50 Most Progressive in 2013. We are lucky to have such a talent right here- her local studio is at Redux Contemporary Art Center, plus she’s really cute and sweet!  Totally loving her idea of a dream dinner guest!

Favorite drink before noon?

My smoothie is one of my favorite parts of my morning routine! It includes kale, bananas, apples, pears, ginger,

carrots, cucumbers, apple juice, and whey protein powder… to me, it’s like getting to eat ice-cream for

breakfast!

Favorite drink at 6pm?

Sparkling water, there is nothing like hearing the fizz when you open a new can!

Wine: red, white or champagne?

Definitely champagne

Hors d’ouerve that is always in the cabinet or fridge?

Stacey’s pita chips and a speciality cheese from Whole Foods are my go to. Add some almonds and a jar of my

Dad’s honey to that mix and I’m all set!

Music go to when friends are over…. i.e. Pandora station?

Anything Motown

Where would you like to go on vacation?

I’m an incessant travel researcher, while I may not go so many places, I love researching a good trip. I grew up

with my mom being a travel agent, so I think it runs in the family! In the past few months, some of these places

include Iceland, Miami and Maine… they are all so different!

Favorite flower?

Orchids because they are exotic and I love that I can enjoy them for a long time!

Dream guest to have over for dinner?

Beyonce

Favorite restaurant?

Right now, Obstinate Daughter on Sullivan’s Island because I feel like I’m on vacation when I’m there!

And favorite thing to eat at this restaurant?

Their ricotta gnocchi with the short-rib ragu, is delicious

A few days ago we got together with one of our favorite local gals Lulie Wallace to pull together a beautiful office lunch in the park. Just one of the perks of working with an event planning company! Lulie is well known for her gorgeous paintings that can be found on everything from quilts to wallpaper thanks to her licensing deal with Anthropologie. We had so much fun using her pillows, fabrics and napkins for our little luncheon, styled by our fabulous summer intern Ellie Gumenick and photographed by Lettered Olive Junior Graphic Designer Tarah Catalano.

How beautiful are these pillows? We used them in the chairs for extra comfort and another jolt of pattern and color. Her pillows are currently half off on her site so get ’em while they’re hot!

Here’s a quick overhead shot so you can see how well all the colors and patterns worked together. We mixed some of our favorite orange drinking glasses with classic silver flatware, and beautifully-detailed plates.

A fun twist on the traditional napkin fold (no pun intended) was to tie them in a knot finished off with a pretty little flower. It’s a more casual style and perfect for an outdoor luncheon.

Thank you Ellie for all of your hard work putting this together. We love Lulie’s pieces and couldn’t have asked for a more fabulous mid-week luncheon!
