"This is a 2nd career for me. I did not realize my love or skill for design until I was in my 30s while we were building our first home. I enjoyed the process so much I decided to go back to school and get my design degree. As I look back I can see the love I had for design but it got buried along the way. I am so glad I came back around to it."

This master bathroom transformed from a dark builder-grade design, to bright, fresh and airy. The client had a bathtub they never used, so we moved the shower there, and put a standalone vanity where the shower used to be. We rebuilt all cabinetry, new millwork around mirrors, and lighting and hardware extraordinaire! The elegance of this new space is every homeowner's dream!

 In years gone by, clients hired an interior designer to execute an entire project.

Today, that is no longer the norm. On the contrary, clients today have embraced the term "menu of services" quite literally, ordering a la carte and when they wish. This trend has been building for some time.

Interior designers and architects, who work on commissions, usually need to get their client’s approval to share images of those projects. That’s not always the easiest thing to do, especially if the project is a private residence.

 Numerous research studies have shown that people experiencing stress, fatigue, trauma, and recovery from illness respond positively to natural settings, natural elements (such as indoor plants and water features), and views of nature. But what of nature imagery or patterns similar to those found in nature? Does exposure to sensory stimuli that remind us of being in a natural setting produce a similar effect? Several recent studies indicate that they do.

Arthur Elrod, the noted Mid-Century Modern interior designer, is widely known for his eye-popping, colorful, and groovy designs, but what can we learn from his monochromatic works?
