Design Rituals: Time for Oneself

Welcome! The search is finally over. That perfect marriage of understanding without words:one look, one image, a breathtaking view... Someone who will know how to interpret her client's wishes by listening to all the unsaid words, seeing the cues, perceiving the feelings with a simple gaze.
I am the lucky designer who will get to go into the personal spaces in your life, your office or home. That place you call your own, where you can be you. Your surroundings matter to me, my passion is to let the best of you shine through the space you occupy. No antiseptic rooms, catalog photo-shoot ready, rather the elegant comfort of a back porch at sunset is the feeling I want in the interior of your private spaces. The sink-down comfort of being in your OWN space.
Let your smile shine as you enjoy learning about my passion for design. Then, you will see why we say: experience Interiors that lift your spirit™.

Time for Oneself

Finding the right balance between work and pleasure has been a total challenge for me. Most people I know are completely able to take the time to enjoy themselves. Sure I too go to dinners with friends and family, enjoy my kids activities and escape to the gym. Yet recently when I was asked to actually jot down 3 things that I do for myself and enjoy (and by that I don't mean getting a manicure or a massage) I mean truly love to do it and never get to it. I actually have a hard time with this concept. As if, if I am not working I OUGHT to be taking care of someone, ie. kids, family members and all their needs, hubby, working out... yada, yada, yada....

Those friends of mine who often go out to girl's night outs, that couple that takes dancing lessons, and I don't know the extend of activities out there, they make me feel that I am playing hookie at work.
Truly I am beginning to sound and feel like a work-o-holic. Yet, I feel energized by the many on-going projects as if they give me a rush of adrenaline.... good or bad? not sure, balance lifestyle: no way.

My design philosophy stems from the beauty within an element. Knowing how to highlight these unique elements allow us to achieve a surreal focal point in a room. Creating an ‘interior that lifts your spirit’™ are my goals in achieving a successful interior design project. I emphasize colors derived from Mother Nature. These color palettes guide the mood within the space. Listening to the clients’ needs and getting that “special sense” in their own environment makes for the magical transformation from the early stages of space planning to the completed magnificent room.
