Take the Medicine!!

I hate to have to be pushy with this message but "take the medicine prescribed!"

  When sick- somewhat or acutely, and you go to the doctor you are usually given advice and a prescription.  If you alter the dose, don't take it or mix it with other med's you may either not get better or may even get worse.  

   I have many years of experience and when I am hired for a project I give my best advice tailored to the client,  the space, the budget etc.  I put my heart into each project.  My final plan is my prescription.  I do practice "alternative medicine" so not every plan is the same.  However once again I find that the client goes to the electrician or contractor they alter the prescription.... why???  The prescription is altered based on a lack of knowledge or understanding of why it was prescribed to begin with!   

  Please take the "medicine" as prescribed.  You will get better - in fact better than you could have imagined and that is the point.  You don't know what you are missing when you don't follow through and trust your hired professional!!

   Be brave!

Design process and working with others


THIS IS DESIGN THERAPY!!!  So Enjoy! 

I would like to do design triage in my spare time so I am looking for people to post photos and design dilemmas for me and maybe you to give ideas to.  If you find a cool idea post it here.

This is my first attempt at blogging so forgive if I am not "doing" it right.  I am a fast learner so hang in there.  I own my own business and work in the field of interior design with both residential and commercial clients. I love the combo of Artist and Techie!   

This blog is going to contain many subjects - everything from cool design ideas, products and links, craziness on the job -ie working as a woman in a male arena - construction & contractors,  cooking- I like to cook (mostly healthy)  , travel,  ALSO - I am a mother of 3.  "Kiddo" is 22 and an architecture student-living on hummus,   "Ash" is 19 and due to have my first gran-babygal in about 6 weeks, she is cute as a button, and then there's "Jaimsy" the baby-16 and just got her drivers license.

8 pm...I just got a call from one of my partners...funny thing is I was bored and trying to remember if there was anything on tv tonight and then the call came-  9:00 - Bravo TV - the new season of "Flipping Out",  AHhhh  Should be fun!

I am an LA gal living in Wisconsin,  you know the biggest news of the day is Brett Favre!  Playing with the Vikings... My secret is that I don't watch football.  I grew up watching "This Old House"  I think I'll never fit in ( maybe that's okay) :)

So as I close for now this is my design therapy fav for the day is the Ikea Glenn stool pictured above.  One of their new items... I'm lovin a little navy right now!  

Wanna know more?
