Attention to detail. Luxury without pretense. Lifestyle Design. Casual elegance. These are the standards that J Banks Design has set for their residential resort homes on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, and in surrounding coastal towns.
Southern hospitality and grace are the essence of the genteel, laid-back way of life that epitomizes southern style. A variety of decorating styles includes the classic southern blue-and-white theme; a home designed in wild color to stimulate family fun; an equestrian property, and rooms in soft hues that invite relaxation.
Luxury also goes outside to the veranda and dock with a lunch at Joni’s and a Lowcountry boil.
Joni Vanderslice founded J Banks Design Group in 1986. As owner and president, she has built the design company into an internationally firm recognized for the J Banks signature style of timeless design and casual elegance. Vanderslice is a dedicated volunteer with the Hilton Head Boys and Girls Club and the Hilton Head Chamber of Commerce.

THE COVER IS THE BEST PART
I was disappointed with this book. I think it has a great looking cover, but that's about it, once you open the book it goes down hill. I feel that none of the properties featured were anything special. One of the featured homes belongs to the author who is an interior designer, and I felt that her house covered way too many pages, I would have liked to see additional homes instead. Lastly, I didn't take away anything from this book. It didn't give me any ideas in decorating my own home. I enjoy browsing through home decorating books as I love to decorate my own house, but I can't say the same for this book.
Great book

My favorite design book!!!
This is my favorite design book ever! What I love about it is that it's full of practical tips on how to create beautiful interiors that are also comfortable and livable. Joni has a design concept based on relaxed elegance without pretense. The book is full of beautiful pictures, and inspiration on every page. I bought one off of Amazon last week, and am back today to order one for a friend.
