May 2013

One of my favorite things to do for a client occurs at the end of the project - when the remodel work is completed and the walls are painted and the draperies are hung. The various trades have packed their bags and moved on to the next project. It is quiet and it is clean. Now I get to bring in the area rugs and the furniture and place them. I get into an almost trancelike state making things orderly and right again. I tug and pull until the furniture looks right, feels right. I look from several various angles then pull and tug again. Once the layout is perfect I bring out all of the accessories. I line a large table with them and then begin to selectively line the hutches and cabinets with lovely crystal and porcelain pieces. Tabletops get candles and bowls with unique features and other lovely things that catch my eye. It is fun when a little area, previously overlooked, takes on new importance because a little bit of magic happens and a charming little vignette is created!
