Building a Design Empire with Annie Selke

I am delighted to introduce you to the woman behind the rug and and linen brands Dash & Albert and Pinecone Hill.  Annie Selke is a true powerhouse of an entrepreneur and she’s also a lovely human being.  I remember when I first first encountered her Dash & Albert rugs, years ago, when I was poking around in specialty home decor shops in Maine.  I thought to myself, wow, those are not fun and colorful, I’ll be they will also stand the test of time.  And I was right!  Annie’s aesthetic is classic and timeless and elegant, but it’s also really, really fun.  Fast forward to this interview and my visit to meet her and her staff at her headquarters in Lenox, MA.  Her staff, by the way, love her, which says a lot about any business owner.  We met in her office and toured her warehouses and I also got to stay in her beautiful inn, decked out with all of her fabrics.  The Style Matters podcast is now Slow Style Home!
