Congrats, Sally, on Woman Power Wednesday for your excellent article in House and Garden: A rented flat in Chelsea transformed through art and antiques by Sally Wilkinson.
‘Having moved from Atlanta to London with her husband during the pandemic, interior designer Sally Wilkinson has created a one-bed flat that is a love letter to the couple’s time in Europe.’
It looks like your Instagram account jumped to over 1000 followers in a matter of a few hours! @sally.wilkinson.design
Sally, you have got the right stuff:
1. Leave home (Austin, TX and the Westlake bubble) at age 18 for Athens, GA, and the University of Georgia. (Congrats to all the Dawgs in the family!)
2. Pursue a degree in something you are passionate about, Interior Design. (Pay no attention to those who say a degree in an artistic field will get you nowhere. Right Brainers will rule the world!)
3. Hitch your wagon, in your early 20s, to one of the best: Betty Burgess. Work hard and learn something new every Singletary day.
4. Find a supportive and loving life partner, Taylor Wilkinson, who always aspires to make his world BIG and encourages you to do the same.
5. Move to Chelsea after nearly seven years of learning from Betty. Launch your own interior design business. (And find a top-notch intern!)
‘My mom helps me out there a lot,’ Sally is quick to add. The designer’s parents currently live in Richmond as coincidentally her father’s job also recently relocated to the UK. ‘I have two sisters left in Texas who are like, “Why is everyone moving to London?!’” Handily, her mother can help Sally with her interiors business a few days every week: ‘I call her my intern,’ Sally jokes.
