Interior Design Projects of Spring

Spring has created a glut of creativing in Christy Collection Inc. We are having fun approaching new projects with a clear sense of fresh new "green" color schemes.

Our latest projects are new and different. We have some younger clients coming on board. The tech side of what we do has been very interesting. Some clients are more tied in to having access to wireless in every aspect of thier lives. We see the blackberries, ipads, iphones, and laptops being carried on the jobsite to record every aspect of construction. Document the photo collections to family members and friends. We see our photos everywhere.

Interior Design just keeps getting better in Columbus.

Interior Design in Columbus Ohio is AMAZING

Today has been one of those days where I have not hit the office until right now. That is a great thing. Meetings with new clients, research on projects, meeting people on site to look at progress from builders and contractors.

I did have an amazing Strategic Business Introductions event with 8 new members of eWomen Network. It went amazingly well. We all have so much to learn about each other. I am enjoying the connections.

Tonight is going to be totally social. So my work is going to have to wait.

In the middle of another whole house project. Interesting client. Great communication. I am enjoying the color scheme (aqua and buttercream) almost sounds edible. I think it is a very liveable combination. Existing furniture is being reupholstered (always fun to get a chance to introduce change to loved pieces) and new trims and details are being added to accentuate all the right lines. This is one of those projects that seems to haunt me when I put it down. The colors kind of stay in my head and I can see new combinations that just say SPRING.

My clients are the best in Columbus. I have fun with them every day.

Design Just Keeps Getting Better

The office has been working on the most amazing project for the last few days. It is overwhelming to dive into this business, you must wade in. The waves come and crash and we are still standing. We have a deadline of tomorrow evening for a huge undertaking and we are going to make it. Somehow. Someway. It may take all night. Have not done that since college and believe it or not, they were few and far between. I always chalked it up to being so organized. But this business ends up dolling out surprises, and price increases, and discontinued product, so we just keep on moving. And then poof! It just seems to all come together and be .....
Magic.

Wow it is GREAT to be HOME

Easter Sunday is the most amazing day of the year. A day of birth and freshness. A day of family and connecting my dots. I love the adventures that my children are experiencing. This spring finds them all doing very well in business and in school.

I have the joy of two brand new projects starting officially tomorrow. Wonderful spring energy surrounds me. I am doing a fun project in Blacklick for a darling gentleman. He is entrepreneurial and full of enthusiasm for a new house and a new adventure. I have the pleasure of making this house his home. He entertains, and is constantly surrounded by friends and his faithful new dog. The house has great bones and a good start. I am thrilled to be doing my overall color scheme tomorrow and getting started on spaceplanning and structure. Our first client meeting is Thursday for presenting basic design elements. I am very excited to get underway.

My second client is a Short North Condo that is full of energy and fun. I have the best work in the world. I get to enjoy the passions of clients and live through them as I interpret their lives and have their environment support them and surround them. We need color, art, and the coordination of elements that are not in sync. I have pulled this project together before going on vacation, but this week gives me the timeframe to finish the vision. The major furniture pieces that are missing are very important statement pieces. The finishing touches will determine the total direction of this space. We need to be cognicent of all the textures, and design criteria that has been mixed together and separate the dots before we can group them. If you don't understand this language, I would love to show it to you. This project will be one of my favorites of 2010. A very high energy and dynamic client. A true labor of love.

Pulling together elements of design to speak in one voice. That is what I do.
