All week I’ve been trying to recall how I initially came across Ally’s interior design blog, From the Right Bank, but to no success. I do, however, remember being instantly drawn to the name. An avid traveler and interior design consultant, Ally created her blog back in 2009 as a sort of public journal to share her inspiration as she was redecorating her new home. When she moved to Seattle after four years living in Paris (rive droite) she changed the name to From the Right Bank to the Left Coast but only briefly. An unanticipated move to Atlanta saw her successful home and lifestyle journal reverting back to its original moniker – which I love.
One of her (previous) homes was showcased on Design*Sponge and her blog has been featured numerous times in lifestyle magazines and on home improvement sites. Fond of mixing modern pieces with antiques, Ally always keeps her eye out for small French touches to add to any space. Whether she’s on the left coast or down south, she’ll always be a Francophile.
