“The gutsiest thing we ever did was to totally redesign our lives!” says Bennett Weinstock, half of the Philadelphia-based design firm Bennett and Judie Weinstock Interiors. “Bennett gave up a successful law career to follow his passion for interior design and joined me to establish a firm that has been emotionally rewarding,” adds Judie Weinstock. It is not surprising that the duo, who will celebrate their 43rd wedding anniversary this year, have a knack for pushing the boundaries of color and pattern in unorthodox ways to create timeless and comfortable spaces: Judie Weinstock is passionate about early American quilts and folk art, and it is clearly reflected in her interiors.

As for Bennett Weinstock, he credits the style and joie de vivre of his mother, Lucille, as his greatest influence. “A true eccentric, she had a flamboyant style that announced her presence wherever she went,” he notes. “We continue to combine a sense of playfulness with elegance in our work,” says Judie Weinstock. The team's current projects include interiors for an Anglo-Caribbean house in Palm Beach and the restoration of a Tudor-style house on Philadelphia's Main Line. “Decorating should be fun!” maintains Judie Weinstock, who values a client with curiosity, passion and a sense of humor. “A client with an open mind, one who is willing to take chances, makes for a wonderful relationship for all involved,” adds Bennett Weinstock.
