Return to Classic

I just got my copy of the Williams Sonoma Home Catalog in the mail.  Yes, if you didn't already know, Williams Sonoma has a home collection.  And let me say I am impressed.

The new furnishings in the catalog are really beautiful, returning to a more traditional/classic style of design.  Gone are the oversized sofas, bright colored fabrics and rustic looking wood.  Welcome back the sleek forms, neutral colors and timeless pieces that will work in any home.  What I love best about these classic styles is that they can mix and mingle so well with your current furnishings.  For a truly eclectic look, try pairing a classic straight back sofa with chic needlepoint pillows.  Or how about adding some upholstered dining chairs with your rustic dining table. 

Try something new and give your home that warm, lived-in look.

Where to begin...

I am a total decorating junkie. I rearrange furniture, repaint, buy accessories, read books and magazines on kitches, baths, small rooms, big rooms, bedrooms and living rooms. I watch endless hours of HGTV and know for sure that I can do better than most designers on TV. I know, I know... everybody thinks they can do better. The truth is, though, that most people still need a little help... a little push in the right direction. Let me help.

If you saw my own home you'd be surprised to learn that I actually do have a degree in Interior Design from a very reputable University. Not only that, I have worked in several design firms over the past 20 years. I've worked in big firms, small firms, with no-name designers and some very well-know ones. I've done hotel design, residential design, commercial design and even some landscaping design. Yes, I've done it all but I still can't find the look I want for my own home. Why? Because it's so much easier creating a style and look for a stranger than to find one for yourself.

So... let's work together to uncover your home's hidden potential and awaken your own personal design style.

Life's a journey, not a destination.
