The Inspiration
This undated settee, one of two, has an arched back with gilt Baroque cutwork and scroll designs. The back panel here portrays domestic foul painted in the manner of Melchoir d’Hondecoeter, a seventeenth-century Dutch painter of the Baroque style. A prominent peacock and hens are paired with a classical urn in this scene.

THE DESIGNER
Holley Simmons
She Loves Me
Holley Simmons is the Founder + Owner of She Loves Me. Formerly a journalist, Holley brings a genuine curiosity and dedication to every opportunity that comes her way. As the daughter of a seamstress she spent her childhood stitching in shoulder pads and glueing rhinestones to everything - it was the ‘80s after all! She believes these early experiences coupled with her lust for the unknown laid the groundwork for a creative career.
She spends her days cheering on the amazing She Loves Me team, usually after bugging them to bring their thermoses home. She hates to cook but prides herself on making the perfect pot of popcorn.
