Inspiring View

Winter Morning Window

When I look up from the design rendering I am working on, this is my view.

When I look up from the design rendering I’m working on, this is my view.

When I’m not out consulting at a clients home or office, I work from home.  I have a large studio which houses all of my samples (thousands of them), cutting table and various machines.  It’s very utilitarian for maximum productivity.

Portable technology allows me to easily move around from room to room when I am designing on the computer.  Depending on the season and my mood I pick a place to work where I’ll be inspired.

I’m in need of warmth and lots of comfort today.  The dining room is my office du jour.  There’s no better place to inspire designs than looking up to see a beautiful arched top custom window treatment.  The custom upholstered chair is a cozy place to talk on the phone and enjoy the daylight.  Looking through the window, I dream of warmer temperatures so I can go work in the gazebo.  Nature always inspires me as these delicate flowers are a reminder of my mom, sweet Violette.

I realize it’s not just rooms I’m designing for my clients. I am designing spaces to comfort, warm and nurture them.  With all of this beauty surrounding me, I may glance up a little more often to think and reflect. Work will get done, perhaps a little slower…

View From The Window Seat

Window Treatments Frame The View

Custom window seat framed with swags and cascades, window seat cushion and decorative pillows

Swags and cascades embellished with tassels and trimmings frame the view of this window seat.

Window “coverings” do much more than cover the window.  These custom swags and cascades frame the view on this cozy window seat.

What is your view framed with this sunny spring morning?

Happy Sunday
