A Lady with Style

“You do not have to
be rich to use the ser
vices of an interior deco
rator,” says Ollie Single-
ton firmly.
As the proprietor of
the 7-week old DESIGN
emporium in Clem
mons, Mrs. Singleton is
hoping that some nice
ordinary” people will
come in to consult her.
Her shop is filled with
jeautiful accent pieces
representing many dif-
•erent styles. There are
wicker baskets, Chinese
chests, antique chairs,
and a selection of carpet
ing, draperies, and
woven woods.
“I guess I was bom
with a flair for creative
design,” she said, “And
1 cultivated it over the
years.”
Maybe being bom in
High Point had some
thing to do with it. Her
family later moved to
Philadelphia, where she
attended Temple Uni
versity as an English
major. Four years of
teaching high school
English convinced her
that she did not want to
teach.
"I have taught in Phil
adelphia, California, and
for a few months in
Winston-Salem. There’s
very little difference in
the students,” she
sighs. “East coast, west
.coast, it’s all the
same.”
When her husband
joined the public rela
tions staff of R.J. Rey
nolds, the Singletons
moved back to North
Carolina.
At first Ollie Singleton
headquartered her deco
rating business in her
home, but she later de
cided to become a full-
fledged professional by
opening a shop of her
own.
“I received help from
Mid-West Piedmont
Area Business Develop
ment Organization,” she
explained. “John Dun
can (the director of the
organization) and Eliza
beth Dalton (special
advisor to women in
business) both helped
me to get started.”
Now she has opened
her shop ’’down the road
from MacDonald’s” in
Clemmons. “Because I
live in Clemmons,” she
says, “And I think it’s a
nice place to be.”
Her shop is busy with
browsers leafing
through books of dra
pery patterns, and with
deliverymen bringing
new items for display.
What do customers
seem to want?
“Well,” says Mrs.
Singleton, considering,
“A lot of people still
want pinch-pleated
drapes with sheers
underneath and some
type of cornice, but
mini-blinds are becom
ing very popular, too,
particularly for contem
porary homes. They are
so neat and trim, and
they allow you to adjust
the amount of light.
Also, they come in so
many colors.”
She has done window
designs for businesses
as well as for homes.
“I love to mix styles,”
says Mrs. Singleton, in
dicating the different
styles of furniture on
display in the shop. “I
don’t like a decor that is
all antique or all con
temporary. I like a mix
ture.”
Perhaps her travels
abroad had something to
do with this, she muses.
“I am eclectic,” she
said, smiling, “A citizen
of the.w(jrld.,”
