Hopefully this project didnt seem like it was themed out. she
says, but looked like the person who lived there traveled extensively
and collected thigns over a period of years or a lifetime.
This sense of travel, the experiencing of different
cultures, contributes to both Livingstons personal style and signature
design - which is why she enjoys getting out of the country once in
a while.
Travel always opens your eyes, says the designer.
Im very attracted to traveling in Europe. I grew up in Kentucky,
so I think there was a sense of what I imagined to be a romantic way
of life.
So is design a calling? With two grown children and one grandchild, Livingston reveals her focus was always to be a good parent.
Becoming a designer, however, was the only thing she ever saw
herself doing for a career.
This is the fabric of my life, she says. Yes, theres a lot of
paperwork involved and thats not glamorous, but in being a
designer, youre giving somebody a gift - the gift of a home.
Completing the penthouse at Turnberry was a challenging but
fullling project, and in teh end Livingston created a remarkable
space. This project was the rst of its kind there in Vegas, the rst
high-rise condominium. To be involved in such an important project
that was such an innovative idea, in the end, it cecame a real renaissance.
