BOTH Robert and Mary High use their
home office in Shinn Point, which is person-alized
with neutral-colored, outdoor-themed
accessories. Fishing rods, mounted deer
trophies, decoys and an antler chandelier reflect Robert’s
hobbies.
Robert has been an outdoorsman since he was a small
child, enjoying duck hunting, deer hunting, and offshore
and inland fishing. A cowhide rug was purchased to
complement the trophy room theme.
Robert owns a commercial real estate development busi-ness.
Mary works part time in retail. They turned a rarely
used sitting room into a comfortable home office with
the help of Virginia Wyatt Designs. The Highs provided
the desk, desk chair, armoire and trophy mounts. Wyatt
completed the look with striped grasscloth wallcovering,
neutral drapery panels, a sisal area rug layered with the
cowhide rug, small-scale swivel chairs with indigo animal
print lumbar pillows, the white antler chandelier and
bronze sconces.
“We created a home workspace for the convenience of
not having to run to the office,” Mary says.
When one of the Highs tested positive for COVID-19,
they worked from home for the safety of fellow coworkers.
Mary advises having two monitors to aid with multi-tasking.
