Antique Decor – This is my hobby.

Hanna Marks has lived in big cities like New York, but has always been drawn to the Sunshine State, where she was born and raised.

She resides in West Palm Beach, is the founder of a nonprofit school, and is the mother of three young girls.

Back when she started having kids, she worked in construction and design, and that’s what brought her to Maison Majorelle, a gorgeous 1923 home near Antique Row in West Palm Beach.

Hanna designed a pool lined in hand painted moroccan tile and Caroline oversaw the installation of the lush, tropical landscaping.

When she came onto the project, she instantly clicked with homeowner Caroline, a successful florist based in New York who entrusted Hanna to renovate the property and steward it as a vacation rental.

Hanna designed the home to suit modern living, but both she and Caroline were intentional about preserving its original charm.

Each room is designed around Caroline and her family’s collection of vintage and heirloom pieces, collected over time and from around the world.

Styling pieces like these feels second nature to Hanna — her father was an architect, owned an interior design business on Worth Avenue, and collected antiques.

Hanna was born later in her father’s life, and he loved to teach her about all he knew. So, she gained an appreciation for home aesthetics as a child.

Hanna lost her father when she was nine, and she has carried his wisdom and her inherited talent into the spaces she now creates.

Designing Maison Majorelle made her feel close to him.

The home now has history woven into every room and has become a sanctuary for Caroline’s family and every guest who is lucky enough to stay there.
