You may know Emily Ray best as a brand of eye-catching necklaces, bracelets and earrings, often preferred by most of the stylish women worldwide.

So it's not surprising to learn that Emily Ray, the artist and businesswoman behind the Spartanburg company that bears her name, is a reflection of her work - attractive, fun and chic. That personally carries over into her home.

The palette of colors that Ray uses in many of her designs can be found throughout her rooms. There are the neutral spaces, which are reminiscent of her work featuring pearls. She also has rooms that provide a jolt of color, much like her fun baubles.

The kitchen, with its solid granite counters and rich mahogany cabinetry, makes a strong statement, like a turquoise necklace. Visiting Ray's home is like reaching into a jewelry box and finding an assortment of beloved and beautiful pieces, perfect for any mood.

"Emily's style is a sophisticated city look," said Janet Estes, Ray's interior designer. "It's not really contemporary and she's not traditional, but she has a style that you would find in a big city. It's sleek and clean."

Ray, who has three children, two of whom are still at home, knew she wanted this house the minute she walked through the door 18 months ago. Then she went through one of the four sets of French doors onto the wide front porch. She didn't need to see anymore.

"My sister is a Realtor and she was telling me not to act too excited," Ray said. "But I couldn't help it…I knew this was the house for me."

Built in 1989, is sits on a secluded lot, surrounded by dozens of leafy trees. When standing on the front porch it is almost like being in a tree house as you are eye-level with tree limbs and birds. Ray wanted to carry that relaxed feeling into her master suite. With her hectic schedule, she needs a retreat. A beach-lover, she wanted the calm of the ocean, but with an Asian influence.

In June, Ray called upon fellow designer Estes to execute that vision. The two met a few times and realized they already were thinking of incorporating the same colors and features.

"I just left it to her," Ray said. "It was so nice to come home and see what she had done."

One of Ray's favorite parts of the house is her master suite, which includes an adjoining bath. Estes covered the walls in a green grass paper. She then added rows of crown molding. A crisp white oversized chair and ottoman sit in the corner.

The area opens into a tranquil spa-like bath. This space saw the most drastic changes. The sunken Jacuzzi tub originally was a deep navy while the cabinets came to an abrupt end, leaving an awkward space. The shower was small and outdated.

Now the area is awash in shades of neutral and soft green with limestone tile. The marble-topped cabinet includes smart custom shelving to hold Ray's extensive jewelry collection. Estes, with the help of contractor, Phil Persails of Carolina Home Repair Service, LLC, cleverly found space to enlarge the shower, and installed an extra wide head that Ray said feels like you are standing under a rain shower.

"It's light and tranquil, just like I wanted it. It turned out great," Ray said. "I could live in here. This house has three floors but really feels like a smaller space as I spend so much time in these two rooms."

While Ray relaxes in her master suite, her dining room and great room provide the burst of color that she loves. The walls are a shade of shrimp - not too pink with a touch of coral.

She found a sleek black dining room set that is both elegant and dramatic. Ray had a more traditional set, but said it just wasn't for her and recently bought this one.

The black china cabinet is a stark contrast of Ray's collection of colored glass. Her favorites include a set of martini glasses featuring Swarovski© crystals and a pretty cobalt-blue glass flower. Both were gifts from Swarovski©.

"Aren't they beautiful?" Ray said. "I do so much business with the company… they gave those to me at Christmas."

Showing her whimsical side, Ray has a black mirror featuring mother of pearl inlay, yet another item she uses when making her jewelry. In the corner of the great room is appropriately a glass vase filled with colorful beads.

Among her most treasured possessions are the paintings by her late mother, Martha Hardegree, which hang throughout the house. On the dining room wall there is a magnificent garden scene that Ray remembers her mom painting when she was in high school.

Another of Ray's favorite spots is her kitchen, which was once too dark and dreary for her taste. Estes updated the space with black and white granite countertops and replaces the faux brick vinyl flooring with white marble. She used restraints when it came to the cabinets.

"These are beautiful mahogany cabinets," Estes said. "There was really no need to remove them. There were other things we could do to update the look."

The kitchen opens up into a keeping area that features a fireplace. Ray loves to cook and entertain and likes the space best when it is full of friends and family.

And, as with any well-designed house, or well-accessorized woman, the sum of the appeal depends on its orchestration. With the well-trained eye of two designers, you could say Ray's home is as stylish and versatile as her latest collection.
