Have you ever been at a party and someone starts chatting away about a new, wonderful artist that you have never heard of? You then pretend to know this fabulous person so you don’t feel like an idiot in front of this ritzy partygoer. Have you ever walked into someone’s house and fallen in love with their perfectly designed home, then went to your own home feeling bad about your house because you understood that you would never be able to design (or afford!) your interiors in such a way?
My goal is to take the intimidation out of design. There is no reason for you to feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable when it comes to designing a beautiful space. I believe you don’t have to spend a fortune to have your spaces look like a million dollars. This applies to everything in your life - from a small get-together to an entire house makeover. The secret is a little elbow grease and a lot of creativity.
This is the mantra that I have applied to all of my designs. It is easy to decorate a room with a champagne budget. It gets a little trickier when you are limited to purchasing a six-pack of cheap beer. There is a far greater thrill and sense of accomplishment as well as a strong infusion of personality that is found when rooms, houses, and parties are not solely created with designer resources.
