On a rainy day, I tend to be extremely productive.
Something about rain kicks me into high gear.
I had an interesting project to focus on today that took my
concentration and muse to full tilt.
Whenever you are challenged professionally it stretches your
creative brain and brings the light in on all that you can do for that
client. I love a good challenge. Finding large scale pieces of furniture
that will not overwhelm people, but work in larger scale rooms.
It is fun to alter space by softening it. Funny how larger furniture
just speaks to comfort before even experiencing it hands on. Then
of course wood and accents keep it interesting and add surprises.
So now after choosing the major pieces, I get to do the real fun part by
selecting textiles, details, and play with possible layouts to keep it fun.
I am lucky to have this client as part of my studio. They appreciate fun
pieces, bring some attitude into selections, and trust me to do this right for them.
With a new build, the choices are endless and can be overwhelming to some people.
Helping them visualize use of space first, design scale, and watch how the concept
comes alive in their eyes is a favorite part of this process.
Next week we will move on to the real pretty parts of the concept and everything
will begin to speak their language. Luckily this couple appreciate each others opinions
and seem to be able to make decisions easily. A dream come true.
We are having fun getting to know their "design personality" as we talk through
how pieces can be used, and how they can be detailed to pull this all together.
I have the distinct luxury of having a few days to absolutely focus on them, their
immediate needs for keeping the project timetable on track, and have access to them.
Out of town clients are not always accessible to the designer on their project.
The weather for the last couple of days has really helped.
Rainy days are gifts from the design Gods.
