Timeless Simplicity


Inside beautiful…

By Paul Terlizzi



Annie Morris


Annie Morris didn’t figure on becoming a Home Stylist in addition to her more than full-time work at Morris Design, a creative agency located in Basalt, Colorado that she runs with her husband Alan Morris.  And more than anything, her work as a home stylist can be better described as creating beautiful and comfortable home environments for her clients from the exterior gardens to the tissue box covers and jar of pink sea salt tucked away in the cupboard. 

Annie studied fashion and began her career in New York merchandising and sourcing apparel and accessories for major retailers before moving to Basalt, Colorado with her husband and family to embark on a new career in Advertising, Design, and Sourcing unique Promotional items for their clients.  She has a natural affinity for the selection of fabrics having travelled throughout the world searching for unique and beautiful cloths and materials for wearables.  She has an amazing eye for details; nothing escapes her vision when she has the opportunity to create.  Annie and Alan recently sold their family home in Basalt and their realtor noticed that the value of their property was in the details and he asked her “Annie can you make this house a home?”  Annie jumped right in with plans from an architect and began working with the contractor on every detail of what was to become this man’s… a home for him and three young sons’.

Annie is working on her next project transforming the interior space of a two-bedroom condominium for an investor group as part of a team in the concept phase of a renovation project. Of course she is still working full-time at the agency currently sourcing a unique cork cosmetic bag for a local golf club’s member’s gift bag.

“I take every project I do very personally, my clients become part of my life” She is in constant communication with her clients, is available any time of day or night and on weekends. 

Annie has incredible vision.  When approaching a project, she can “see” the results before beginning the search for every last detail.  This makes the sourcing of decorative items and finishing touches far reaching because her inspiration is coming from within rather than from printed media or established decorator lines.  Annie admits…“I tend to chose items I love and things that speak to me”.

“I am fanatical about schedules and budgets” says Annie; she literally lives and breathes the project.  Nothing waits until the last minute and she can stay within a budget because of her creativity and vast knowledge of sourcing.  “I am the gatekeeper.  I keep everyone on task and on budget” she says with a coy smile.

“I make extensive use of the internet to source and to illustrate to my clients what I am envisioning for their space”.  In the condo remodel, Annie wanted to re-use the “dated” globe light fixtures from throughout the 1970’s built property and put them in the kitchen.  Her clients could not “see” this until Annie, while sourcing lighting for the rest of the house came across a kitchen design featuring the “vintage” light fixtures.  That’s all it took to communicate her vision to her clients who now love the design.
