Hello,
I’m David
Roland Paulley Design
Hello! My name is David. With roots dating back to my initial visits in the 1970s and a permanent move in 2002, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing West Palm Beach evolve into a formidable shopping and design destination. My background is deeply rooted in architectural design, complemented by experience in importing Spanish textiles and designing prototypical furniture, even extending to the restoration of a 17th-century manor house in Spain. As an “addicted browser” and “inveterate shopper” who has explored markets across continents, I launched Roland Paulley Design to keep our vibrant design, retail, and shopping community mutually informed, sharing exciting discoveries from Antique Row, the Warehouse District, Georgia Avenue, SOSO and beyond. Please read my blogs for what’s new and exciting in our community.
