Busy Week

I have to apologize to my dedicated bloggers for being way too busy this week. Busy is good, but in the world of design, not missing details, following through, and absolute design excellence is so important that one must use ones time wisely.

I have to share with you the joys of a week in Columbus knee deep in excellence in design. Christy Collection Inc. has the pleasure of progressing on 10 current projects that have graced our door. From creating a fitness center in an expansive New Albany home, to the delight of creating Zen space and a luscious oasis of a Master Suite in an inspiring new clients home, we have moved into the realm of total creativity this week. There is nothing more satisfying than getting people genuinely excited about their own environment. Exploring possibilites, and creating these ideas into reality. I have the pleasure of working with excellence in peers with common direction and dedication to excellence.

We are nearing occupancy of a dramatic and beautiful Arts and Crafts / adapted to urban living condo in the Short North. Seeing a custom designed spiral staircase, custom tile work, expansive views of downtown Columbus framed by gorgeous highly figured Hickory floors, and lofty ceilings, just about connects all the dots for me personally. I am so proud to be involved in the creation of this amazing space. The best is yet to come. Furniture will arrive within a few weeks and the stage is set for a dynamic couple to take center stage in this fabulous home. I also hear that I get the first Martini mixed in this space. What more can an aspiring designer ask for?

Christy Collection is almost wrapping up their Holiday Decor for the season. I have been forced to slim down my clients served this year, due to a crazy, busy and full schedule. The 10,000 + square foot home completed today celebrates four years of creating holiday for one of the more darling couples in New Albany. Two level mantels, sweeping staircases with bridges and cathedral ceilings all adorned with 14" diameter garlands, embellished with fruit, berries and gorgeous satin bows. 15' Trees popping with reds, golds, and lime green are framed with two and one half story windows looking on the back pool complex. German Stein Nutcrackers are placed in groupings of historical signifigance. Waterford crystal egg collections twinkle in the cascade of white lights, boughs of evergreen, boxwood, winter red roses, and bittersweet. It does not get better than this in the world of Holiday Decor. This home is not only a masterpiece in itself, but when the Halls are Decked and the candles are lit, it can honestly take your breath away. We are so proud to serve this family and prepare them for holiday entertaining.

Next week Holiday Decor installations will conclude with the creation of one of my favorite client's in New Albany's magnificent home. Again, it is our fourth year of completing special holiday spaces for this generous and full spirited family and their friends and family. Beautiful family hearth trees, sweeping garlands of winter flowers, vines, and ribbons adorn a brass railed staircase with marble foyer. The Entry tree is vintage, with antigue mercury bulbs and vintage drops of pearl and crystal. The site is amazing. Peach, pale green, pearl, watery mercury silver, and washed gold create a shimmer that is difficult to describe. All spaces in their home are family spaces. Down cushions and snuggly spaces give this close family room to just be together and enjoy the season.

It is with extreme pleasure that we continue to serve the Columbus area with fine design, competitive product pricing, and integrity of service. I am honored to be here and be a part of all of the good that is happening all around me.

Thanks for letting us into your life.
