Design esthetics vary from designer to designer and publication to publication. One that I love working with and am always drawn to is modern traditional. The use of traditional elements in a new and relevant way. But traditional influence doesn’t always come in the form of furnishings and fabrics, it can also come in the form of family and heritage.
My favourite part of the design process is when all the major pieces – surfaces, furnishings and textiles are in and I get to style the space for the client reveal or a photo shoot. It’s when the whole vision comes together – little elements that on their own may appear insignificant brought together to tell a story. Because, design after all is in the details.
And just like that January is gone and February in all it’s candy heart glory is here! Sappy? Yes. Commercialized? Definitely. Fun? Absolutely! Despite the gushy, over the top romanticism of the day, I love Valentines Day. A day to celebrate love in all it’s forms – yes please. One of my favourite ways to celebrate the month of love, is with a Galentine’s Soiree. As a single woman well into her 30s, my girlfriends are my everything. My chosen family. The ones who support me, love me and cheer me on. Without them, I’d quiet simply be lost.
