Mission accomplished

One of my favorite things about developing long-term relationships with clients is getting to see how the design we accomplished together, endures over time.  Just recently I received a call and went to look at a bath remodel in Milwaukee.  He was concerned about a minor issue, I was glad to have the opportunity to solve the concern and see how things where progressing.  It turns out the tub has enhanced his bathing experience, raising the counter height has improved his back fitness, and the overall sophistication of the bath has created a new feeling of self-care.   Mission accomplished!  Soon I will be returning for professional photos, until then…

Balnace

Balance in design equals proportion, Agreeable or harmonious relation of parts within a whole; balance or symmetry. 
This is what I know, within each style the balance shifts always moving with in each culture from the macrocosm to the microcosm and back. Our esthetics are shaped by when we are born, the culture we are born into and the exposure we have to the arts, education and travel, to name a few influences. Victorian and contemporary are on opposite sides of style on many levels. I find great pleasure in helping clients to create and find their own balance and go forward with confidence and the awareness of what works for them individually and within their partnerships and family needs.

Quince

This spring I planted a Quince tree!  For those of you who have planted fruit trees know that the first year, no fruit is expected.  Well at least not by me, imagine my surprise when I had these lovely blossoms and now, Quince are on my counter-top awaiting.  I am excited to share these luscious gems with friends and family!

Design like gardening is about growing sustaining vision.  Even the most planned space are best with great surprises. 

The holidays are on their way!  Now how to keep your sanity, have the feeling you want and enjoy the look you want.  

Whether an entry, a room, or the entire home I will create that look for you.  Contact me for available times and pricing.
