Hey there!!
Welcome to my interior design blog. I am really excited to share with you the ideas that I run across, read about or come up with in my frollics worldwide. I am thrilled you are here!! Please comment and share with me what you think about the different posts.. your feedback is much needed if I am going to be the best me I can be!! Thank you!!
I am fairly new online and really having fun learning all about technology and having an online presence, which is a new passion of mine. I have been an interior designer and an interior design consultant for almost 30 years and I am currently reinventing myself, expanding my horizons, so I can be more of my fullest potential!!
I have loved traveling the world, finding wonderful accessories and furnishings for my clients and just completely loving my life!! I just returned from Isreal, which was a dream come true, and I went to Fiji last year to visit a client’s resort home on one of the amazingly beautiful islands there. You can see a video of this project in my portfolio on this site. I learned how much I value freedom, people and the American way. I also learned there is a time to rest, work and play. Everyday we have the opportunity to have a great adventure, meet wonderful people and my passion is to help them have the most wonderful lifestyle by helping them move forward to creating interiors as amazing as they are! Now that is a great job!!!
Thanks again for taking the time to get to know me!! I hope you’ll give me the opportunity to learn more about you. Join my community with the home page opt-in or leave some comments. I wish you all the success you desire! Don’t just yearn for it, get moving on your dream interiors!!

Comfy Leather Chaise is Casual Comfort For Great Rest and Relaxation
Want a comfy lounge chair? Here’s one that is on the casual side in brown or black leather. It is fun to be at the furniture market and try out the furniture. I keep notes of the “great feeling” ones. This is a crowd pleaser, many try it out and I hear many “oh yeahs”. Take your shoes off, kick back and relax in sheer comfort. The metal frame of this wonderful leather chaise lounge offers a little give that makes it feel so fantastic! This awesome piece can also have a pillow on it for looks, but it doesn’t need the pillow for comfort, it is fine as is. This is something I am recommending to my clients for their media room. This is a great alternative to the recliner if you have the room!
Interior Design Ideas: Lighting Elegant

Beautiful Lighting For Dramatic Rooms
There are several types of lighting. There is task lighting, room lighting, natural lighting and ambient lighting or mood lighting. The fixture I am showing here is ambient or mood. This is a beautiful hanging fixture made of glistening cappa shells. It is lovely and dramatic all at the same time. I love the look and feel of it. It makes me want to put a hidden fan at the base of it for a constant glisten. Very pretty indeed. I just like the statement it makes in a dramatic room. A pair could be used on each side of a sofa or something you want to accentuate. It will definitely bring your eye to the focal point! Pretty indeed!
Have a wonderful day!
Interior Home Decor For Babies
By · CommentsMy daughter was home from college this last week and it was so wonderful to see her and her boyfriend. We had a great time together. We were at lunch a couple days ago at the House of Nanking in San Francisco – by the way, a fabulous restaurant, and I said to them after some chit chat, “Sure would love to be a Grandma.” Me and my big mouth!
They laughed and my daughter’s friend said her mom asked her the same question. That was a relief. Since they aren’t even married yet it looks like I have a while to wait.
You see, there is this lovely baby furniture that I have had my eyes on for years that I think would be perfect for a nursery. I didn’t tell them about it since they won’t be needing it soon, darn. I like it because it is different, great looking and very well made. It is very feminine and would be perfect in a little girl’s room. Who knows what they will choose, but it sure is lovely furniture, so I thought I’d show you, to see what you think.
The bassinet is so beautiful. It has a stand and hangs from hooks, so great for rocking. It is extremely well made. These pieces are heirloom pieces that can be handed down from generation to generation. The bassinet is custom made iron and the round crib with canopy made of wood. They can be ordered in pretty much any custom color and the iron can have brass or silver accents. This takes the custom order time, but I like that it can be made just the way you want it.
The crib is round and can come with a canopy. That is definitely unusual. It is just fun and I have always loved it !
The sweet upholstered occasional chair is cute, cute, cute and kid sized. Any fabric can be used on it and I just think it is precious.
It is still fun to dream. I know my daughter and I will have a very fun time when the time comes. If it’s a boy…future post.
