This month’s Interior Decorator Spotlight is Herrington Jones Interiors. This Oxford business, opened by Mary-Kathyrn Herrington and Lauren Jones in 2017, offers full service residential and interior design. Mary Kathryn shared, “We work on both small and larger projects – from updating bedding to redoing a single room to helping with all aspects of a remodel or new build.”

They have broken down the wall of being disconnected from both your food and the people taking such care to prepare it. That's why the kitchen is the first thing you see, and everything is out in the open. And, their food is pretty fantastic!
