Welcome!

CREED: [ noun. = A summary of principles, beliefs or opinions]


BEAU-TY: [noun. = The quality that gives pleasure to the mind or senses and is associated with such properties as harmony of form or color, excellence of artistry, truthfulness, and originality.]




I am completely fascinated and passionate about all things related to interior design especially the process of transforming uninspired spaces into well designed homes that beautify and simplify every day living.  As a practicing interior designer i am entrenched in the various stages of the design process on a day to day basis both with client projects and of course my own home. 


Although this is my first blog post, i feel like i’ve been blogging about design for years, to friends, to family and to clients,,,but up until now, i just called it email!  A simple question to me often results in a lengthy detailed reply full of instructions and suggestions complete with website links and photos.  Sometimes offering it all up without even being asked.   With so much experience and passion for design I find myself constantly wanting to express my thoughts and share my views, to inform others how great design is truly about enhanced living.  So the fact that I’m a super fast typer, and i mean REALLY fast,,,even on a blackberry I can type faster than i can talk fast,,,, just makes it feel natural for me to chronicle my experiences as a designer in this format.

 

I hope to offer readers insightful commentary from a designers point of view.  I’ll share my approach to common design challenges, provide all kinds of practical reno advice and write about all things that inspire me in my day to day work.  In addition to loads of design advice, I plan to post images of my work and those who’s work I admire, my sketches, great finds, and other relevant images that speak to certain design concepts or topics that interest me.  


My objective for all future posts is to keep them honest and real, for them to be original, informative, inspiring, good spirited, often humorous and always,,,,,,always, enhanced with beautiful imagery.  And I promise, no cat pictures.   


Well,,,, maybe just one or two........


Welcome to my world of design!

Italian style homes were the most popular style in the United States. Many historians say this style was favored for two reasons; these homes could be built with many different materials and the style could be easily adapted depending on the budget. Plus, several new technologies of the Victorian Era made it possible to quickly and inexpensively produce cast-iron and press-metal decorations.

Luxury Home Design with Italian Style

Italian style homes feature a flat or low-pitched roof, widely overhanging eaves with large decorative brackets underneath, tall narrow windows and sometimes elaborate wrap-around porches.
