O, the Oprah Magazine recognizes Luxury Living Savannah owner
Tammy Jo Long’s creative and stylistic approach to restoring historic
mansions
For Chicagoan Tammy Jo Long, it was love at first sight when she visited
the charming town of Savannah, Georgia nearly a decade ago. Long
especially became fond of Savannah’s historic architecture and purchased
a Victorian mansion there. That love grew into a profitable and
successful business for the Hinsdale, IL resident who eventually bought
four more mansions and turned her passion for historic home renovations
into a profitable vacation rental business, Luxury Living Savannah. |

It’s nice to break away from my
day-to-day routine behind the chair to explore fashions from around the globe.
My latest trip was to NYC with my extended work family, L’OREAL PROFESSIONAL. L’OREAL
treated us designers to a special viewing of the Savage Beauty Collection by
Alexander McQueen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We waited in line for
almost 3 hours to visit those unbelievable works of art. McQueen was
best known for his extravagant runway presentations. |
