Born in Virginia, raised in South Carolina and long-time resident of Greensboro, North Carolina, Virginia Ford Zenke has made her own mark as a renowned interior designer with well-respected talent. This collection gives us fascinating history lessons as it explores a life of creativity, culture, and influence.

From roots sown by the earliest settlers to brushes with long foreign lineages, we experience Virginia Zenke’s exciting life as she recalls her career and travels with her husband, Henry, and their daughter and son, Gina and Chris. In all facets, she has come across some interesting characters, some famous and some not so famous, but all captured in these pages with gentle humor and in some cases, accurate wit.

The biggest influence in Midlife ◊ Mid-Century ◊ Mid-South is Virginia Zenke’s career as an interior designer. She has risen to the stature of a celebrity, as her exceptional creations have become a must-have for the appreciative and prominent people of the south and elsewhere. She does not approve of "noisy decorating". Now, she has created a book with the same enthusiasm and lightheartedness with which she has accomplished everything else.

With good humor and optimism, Virginia Zenke has collected her most cherished and remarkable memories in Midlife ◊ Mid-Century ◊ Mid-South. This book is a must-have in its own right.
