My Favorite Things...

In the design business I get to look at beautiful and interesting things all the time.
 I think that is a GREAT job!
 Oh. it has it's moments, but most of the time it makes me blissfully happy.
When I get to select everything for the project.... I call that " the Dream job".
When I  have to work with the client's own selections that I call the ...."Interesting job"
It is like working a puzzle and when it is all put together .. it is a magical moment.  The client is happy and that makes me very happy.
At the end of every job and every day, I still have my  favorite things that give me incredible pleasure no matter what amazing things I see.

my favorite headboard...


and favorite bed linens
my favorite chair
my favorite bathroom ( because I could take an outdoor shower right thru that french door in the mirror)

my favorite rocking chair.... if I ever go missing...look right here

Every time I finish a project.. I feel a sense of loss. It is an all consuming  thing and I leave a bit of myself in each and every project. I design as if it were my own home and so it must be comfortable and functional. A happy place with opportunity for making great and wonderful memories. Sitting quite in each room give me the awareness of the space.... in the beginning of the project and at the end....

 Here is a tiny peek..of this amazing project..
