In her artist statement, Mrs. Holt describes her inspiration for her design to bring the property to life as "the fashionista grandma, never caught with a hair out of place. She's so chic and cool, she's bold, she's lived enough to learn to embrace all she loves, and all those things fit together because of her." She continues, "Each corner is a postcard to a decade of her life... There is joy and playfulness and comfort in each room. There is also awe and excitement."
