Interior designer Eric Ross brings candor, humor, and Southern charm to a lively conversation about traditional interior design, timeless homes, and decorating with confidence. It includes tips and considerations for bringing timeless design into your home.

In this episode of Classic & Curious, Anne Kokoskie sits down with Rosemary Hallgarten, founder of one of the world’s most admired luxury textile houses. 

A British-born, award-winning textile designer and second-generation craftsperson, Rosemary pioneered the use of alpaca in luxury rugs and fabrics, building an internationally recognized brand known for its extraordinary texture and modern artisanal sensibility.

Rosemary shares the story behind her artisan-made rugs, fabrics, throws, and accessories—and her belief that true luxury lies in how thoughtfully and beautifully something is made. 

Their conversation explores sustainable design, natural fibers, traditional craftsmanship, responsible production, and the importance of creating timeless pieces with soul, purpose, and longevity.

For anyone interested in creating a more beautiful and considered home, Rosemary offers an inspiring perspective on choosing fewer, better things—and understanding the human hands, natural materials, and enduring craftsmanship behind them.

Some stories remind us that the most meaningful legacies aren’t measured by what we build, but by what we’re willing to carry forward.

In this heartfelt conversation, Anne sits down with Dana Ferraro, Principal of Molly Patton Design, to explore a remarkable story of friendship, courage, and unwavering devotion. Following the loss of her dear friend Molly Patton, Dana made the extraordinary decision to continue the firm’s work under Molly’s name—preserving not only a celebrated design aesthetic, but the values, generosity, and spirit that defined it.

Together, they discuss overcoming self-doubt, building a boutique design practice rooted in craftsmanship and trust, and why the greatest legacy is often found in the people who shape our lives. While beautiful interiors naturally weave throughout the conversation, this episode is ultimately about honoring promises, leading with heart, and discovering that our greatest work is often born from love.

It’s a conversation that will stay with you long after the episode ends.

This week, Anne welcomes Ann Huff and Meg Harrington, the visionary duo behind Huff Harrington, for a conversation on how a meeting over lunch in Atlanta grew into one of designs most admired creative partnerships. 

Ann and Meg share the evolution of their brand — from selling art out of their kitchens to building a multifaceted business spanning galleries, interiors, retail, curated travel, and Parisian renovations.

Along the way, they reflect on entrepreneurship, the power of complementary strengths, navigating challenges with grace, and the lessons they’ve learned about building a business rooted in trust, beauty, and resilience. They also dive into the art of curation — how to mix old and new, why craftsmanship matters, and the guiding philosophy behind every piece they source: if you love it, it will work.

This episode is an inspiring look at creating a brand with soul, designing with instinct, and building a life — and business — around beauty, story, and connection.  You will absolutely find yourself shopping right after your listen!
