I will never use this light!

2021-01-13T18:14:45+00:00

One thing I hold near and dear to my heart is the friendship that develops with clients over time, as they transform their spaces.  They grant me access into their innermost wishes about how they want to live, or where they want to live.   My job is to listen to them intently, observe what needs [...]

The Snow Less Travelled

2021-01-13T18:14:45+00:00

I completely relate to this picture. Southerners are soft folks...soft spoken, soft-hearted and most of all, soft on long cold winters.   We do not weather the weather well.   While our more Southern friends in warmer climes and those from colder places scoff at us for stopping the whole world for a week, over snowy roads on a neighborhood [...]

What Inspires You? I really need to know…

2021-01-13T18:14:45+00:00

If an interior designer, in coordination with other contractors is going to make a client's wishes come true, we have to know where you get your inspiration.  An interior designer can certainly space plan just about any area, but the floor plan of the new design is only getting you half-way home.  A major part of our job [...]

An unlikely place to discover you did your job right

2021-01-13T18:14:45+00:00

This is how we test run the placement of art for this client who couldn't be onsite for the hanging.   Designers are used to, and welcome, critiques.  How would we know if what we create is successful?  How would we know to make improvements on a design the second time around, if [...]
