We are knee deep in some amazing design projects. We are sorting through notes, checking figures, finalizing custom quotes and generating proposals for amazing clients. This spring to summer season is more manic than most. We cannot help but believe that our lovely clients have woken from a short nap of worry and discontent. Now they see that indoor spaces and outdoor spaces must be joined. Now they are sharing the open windows, or hot day air conditioned rooms with children enjoying every inch of the house during summer.
We love almost summer in Columbus. We put tops down on our convertibles, pull out the patio umbrellas, and water our planters, every day. Our children watch dinner emerge from the grill and the refrigerator, trying not to turn on the oven. Our families gather around platters of corn on the cob and large bowls of potatoe salad. We all marvel at wet bathing suits hung over the backs of chairs, and children with more energy than we ever remember possessing. We soak up the last remnants of sun in a day, save time for weeding, and remember how truly short summer is. Ninety days of summer vacation goes by so quickly that before we know it 4th of July is over and and we are knee deep in August. We all long to stretch this out. We all long to just hang out with our babies, and bask in their summer spirit.
Design is all about living. Design supports our attitudes, our dreams and our play time.
Design is not about fussy and worrying about ruining fragile items. Design is about living in a space and not stopping to tell someone to take their shoes off, or stop drinking their lemonade in that area. Good design works with the space. It supports all the functions that take place and does not make us make adjustments.
There is nothing more luscious than entertaining with seamless ease. There is nothing more relaxing than just enjoying family and friends with laughter and a light heart. Design supports the best in life.
