The best designers

These three girls inspire me daily 

They help dress me fashionably which means they say things like "are you wearing that ?" They are  all three so different with fabulous personalities

It's  so amazing to see them grow up into amazing young women they are funny , caring, beautiful and keep me on my toes 

They are my biggest fans and I am so thankful for the three of them. 

Xo Daughters are amazing 

Bar stool design dilemma

Today I received an email with a design question on best option for a small bar that was built for a basement. The client wanted to have a back to the bar stool 

This area appears to be a  tight space and by adding three stools with backs becomes too busy I suggested to add a banquette bar height bench by Lee Industries you can do fabric or leather .

The bench keeps the look in the basement clean and neat vs stools everywhere keep it simple 

Happy Monday 

The ugly house

My passion is truly 'the ugly house' I always love the underdog, the story of the ugly duckling the person no one thinks will do something amazing but does so I love an ugly house. In my mind every house like every person has the potential to be amazing. This house was no different it was a small basement rancher it needed help inside and out 

It had the challenge of sitting below the street so many buyers looked right past this house. Even my own family said 'no way' until it was finished . Anyway my love of ugly houses continues as this one is finished and a fabulous family now lives there and enjoy this home.

Happy Sunday
