" It takes a lot of different horses to make a horse race .''
This house is in Austin Texas. I would expect to find it in El Cid, just over the bridge
from Palm Beach, where there are absolutely charming homes.
I have been in this business since the age of 22.
I love what I do and cannot imagine my life without Design.
Design Challenges are great.
And because of those challenges
I have imported fine antique pieces from Paris,
Designed and Manufactured Furniture,
Created Fantastic Window Treatments,
And solved all kinds of spatial & architectural issues
With my unique style.
If I can't find it, I create it.
My rooms would make excellent movie sets.
I am a visual, tactile and audio sensitive individual.
Creating is what I live for, not math, not spelling, not science.
Just Great Design.
Just imagine how it would be if each of us,
If only for a few hours of everyday,We could be in a space that is our very own.A place that is exactly the way we want it to be
Surrounded by all the things we wanted to see,
The atmosphere we wanted feel, smell and the sound we wanted to listen to.

You know, when I go to the beach I am always so seduced by the beautiful shells. I gather them in my pockets like jewels. I rinse them off and carefully bring them home. Then I unpack and think....what am I going to do with these??? Ah well, I'll think of something!

The embedded shells in the fireplace mantel are wonderful. I love the macro shot, but agree with you that it is a tad overdone, as in the larger pic. Still magical.
ReplyDeleteOh I think it's lovely-I collect smooth, pure white stones when I go. I have dishes and bowls full of them. They are just so pure and feel so wonderful to the touch. I have no idea what I will ever do with all of these one day- but I can't help myself.
