Monday Funday.

In an effort to begin my busy Mondays on a lighter foot I'm going to post an inspiring feel good something every Monday. Also....maybe just calling it Monday Funday will make things better ;).

No one can say feel good words like Maya Angelou. It wouldn't be the beginning of Monday Funday without her. Let's be kind to each other this week. Including being kind to ourselves. I know we all tend to be hardest on ourselves. I want to loosen up on that habit a bit. Go at life with a bit more of an open heart. 

My August newsletter went out this morning. Did you get it? Sign up at left for the next one if not. You can check out August's on my Facebook page in case you're dying to know what I have to say. I do try to keep my social medias a bit different from each other to prevent boring you all. 

Go Monday!

Friday Thoughts

Sitting in the studio on the quietest Friday in a long time working on some projects has me feeling a bit like a design conveyor belt.. This weekend will be a much needed break. I'm not sure if it's apparent from outside the industry, for a designer every tiny decision comes with much thought. I put my soul into these projects. They're each very personal and close to me. Like children, or the very least like pets. I love sending beauty out into the world.

Have an amazing weekend friends!

Quoting Designers: Jeffrey Bilhuber.

I'm a total sucker for silly memes with quotes. I love them. Silly and great. But what is really great is to hear quotes from other designers. We all have such wisdom, I love hearing about experiences and lessons learned.  

Jeffrey Bilhuber is an iconic American designer that has provided countless quotes and design quips. They're smart and on point. His clientele speak to his taste and wisdom.  

“Decorating is about the the big picture. If you say, ‘I’d like a pink lamp,’ and I just go get a pink glazed ceramic lamp, you should fire me. What a decorator does is bring you a blue-and-white Delft lamp and say, ‘This would look perfect in a pink room.’”
— Jeffrey Bilhuber
“It’s a Herculean amount of work to deliver projects on time and on budget.”
— Jeffrey Bilhuber
“Great details whisper, never shout.”
— Jeffrey Bilhuber
“Clients bring their inspirations to me to move their ideas and their dreams forward. Historic inspiration is always influential but clients are the driving force. We can’t create a project without a client. Preferably one that is articulate, decisive, and trusting.”
— Jeffrey Bilhuber
“Someone with a point of view is rather chic. Someone focused, articulate, with personality, integrity, and honesty is enormously stylish. Oh, and glamor? To be true to oneself is powerfully glamorous. ”
— Jeffrey Bilhuber
“Most new structures have a baseboard no higher than three inches- if one at all. I suggest making a much larger one. That can be as simple as installing a twelve-inch-high, one-inch-thick plank of wood all around the room.”
— Jeffrey Bilhuber
