The Butlers Did It

Text by Mary Forsell • Styling By Monique Keegan/Enjoy Company • Photography By Gridley & Graves

With their ahead-of-the-curve styling and inter-national client base, Amy and David Butler could live anywhere. But they built their lifestyle empire, Amy Butler Design, from scratch in Granville, Ohio. And they’re here to stay. “It’s so grounding,” Amy says. “We lived in Kansas City for a while, but came back to be with family.” For the holidays, they decorate with trimmings of their own design: fabric, pillows, papercraft, gift wrap, and other surprises.

In the spirit of the season, Amy is offering free downloadable patterns to HOME COMPANION readers on her website: amybutlerdesign.com.

(top) Perched on a hill overlooking a wild landscape, the house has generous windows ideal for bird-watching. The couple designed the media console using steel restaurant cabinets. All printed fabric throughout, Amy Butler Design.

(bottom) To create a “juicy double layer of color and pattern,” Amy stacked presents on her signature poufs. Julio the kitty guards the loot. Gift sashes can also be worn as headbands or belts. Recycled wrapping paper, Amy Butler for Glitterings Green.
