No - not a newspaper. Oh the black and whites! Love the striking contrast. It is so stunning to me. Whether it is stripes, walls and trim, floors, stair runners, zebra stripe patterns or rugs (which I know and respect that people either go one way or the other - there is no in between with the zebra hides) the juxtaposition of the two colors is visually stimulating. It is a simple start that has the capacity to be extremely complex. That is a cool thing!

Happy Monday everyone!...

Bold design choices can be so much fun and have such an amazing impact on the particular space! Naturally, we all lean towards "safer" choices when it comes to paint colors, fabric choices, light fixtures, paint finishes, rug options - you catch my drift. But, some of the most memorable, custom-made spaces are compiled of decisions that almost certainly caused the designer a good amount and stress to achieve, yet once these ideas are formed and translated from an idea to an actual room they are able have the most fabulous effect. My biggest challenge is the process of holding the client's hand and persuading them to TRUST that the final product will, in fact, be fabulous! Once this goal is accomplished it is smooth sailing with said client from that day forward - and that is one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. I love my job!

Happy Friday!...
