South of Surrey

got its name from Gail and Ashton's background. They're from the American South, but spent years living abroad in Haslemere, Surrey, England.  After being exposed to the rich history and architecture of Europe, Gail developed a penchant for design. She took her then young daughter, Ashton, across the English countryside to antique treasure troves, and a mutual love affair with all things decor started.
