Candace Griffin stands in her living room, thumbing through her vinyl collection. She flips past Beyoncé, Dave Matthews and Fleetwood Mac on her way to Chaka Khan. Slipping the record from its sleeve, she says, "I like to go to a thrift store and pick up something I've never heard before but that looks like it would speak to me. I like the beauty of it, mixing old and new." There's a slight pause. "OK, I'm not trying to make that connection," says the owner of Candace Mary Interiors, "but that's exactly how I design too." The proof points are all around-ashy blue paint, vintage photography, contemporary throw pillows, colorful wooden toddler toys. Candace's style is as broad and pitch-perfect as her playlist.
