Antique Wallpaper Designs

Jody Hays, an Interior Designer who specializes in antique textiles, founded her company, Pensieri Design, in California in 1999 and recently relocated to Austin, Texas. A native of Louisiana, the Southerner first discovered her love of textiles and beautiful objects as a little girl. She would often visit her grandmother who indulged Jody's passion for playing dress-up with treasures from her fabulous antique and vintage clothing and jewelry collection. Jody moved to the coast of Central California in 1992 where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Art and Design at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. Her interest and knowledge in antique textiles was further enhanced through studies in textile restoration and conservation at the famed Hearst Castle in San Simeon.
