Please ask for me, Cornelia Parries, when you come to Furnitureland South!
A little about me…
I am originally from Mount Airy, NC (aka Mayberry). I attended Bauder (Fashion) College in Atlanta, GA where I majored in Interior Design. Fun fact: Kelly Wearstler - famous Interior Designer & Fashion Designer - was one of my roommates at Bauder! I later returned to NC & attended Salem College in Winston-Salem, where I received my BA in Interior Design.
I spent more than 18 years as a Sales Rep (some Inside & mostly Outside Sales Rep) for the Natural Stone Industry - granite, marble, onyx, etc. working for Distributors & a fabricator. I was also an Accountant Manager for several years with Cosentino -Silestone Quartz, Dekton, Sensa Granite. Although I will always love the stone & Quartz industries, I am in absolute heaven at Furnitureland South! 💗 I am loving the opportunity to express more creativity through furniture & accessories. It IS what I studied in college after all. I also feel that I have a natural talent, thanks to my dear late mother, of being able to decorate. She always loved home, garden, decor & architecture magazines. Those magazines where her inspiration. I also find inspiration from magazines, tv, life, & nature. I also believe that as you grow, travel & mature - so does your home. Your home changes over time, just as we do. I believe that you can beautifully blend your beloved heirlooms together with new pieces to create a well-traveled, eclectic look that is uniquely you. Please allow me to assist you with creating a look that speaks your language. Please allow me to help you find furniture that fits your unique needs & wants.
