The Villages - November 2017 - 29

MaryAnn used Venetian plaster
and faux painting techniques to
create this unique, textured look.

My style is somewhat
contemporary, but I like
to mix in older elements
to warm it up.
- MaryAnn Conrad
Herb Conrad is proud of the clever amenities
MaryAnn has engineered throughout their home.
"She doesn't toot her own horn, but MaryAnn is a
talented interior designer," Herb said.
After 21 years in the beauty industry, she sold her
business to pursue a degree in interior design.
"Little did I know, my former customers in the beauty
business would become my clients again, and that would
lead to referrals," MaryAnn said. "I did my internship
with Ethan Allen, where I learned so much about different
types of wood, and I met some interesting people along the

way. I learned about faux painting and Venetian plaster,
and I found some specialists to work with."
MaryAnn is retired now, but she continues to
use her skills. In 2011, she put them to work in their
Village of St. James home.
"We came to The Villages from Fort Lauderdale to
visit family," MaryAnn said. "We didn't plan to buy a
house that weekend."
But the Conrads could not be happier with their
seemingly impromptu decision. And guests continue to
be wowed by their sophisticated home.
