Greetings! Happy New Year! We hope that your holidays were festive and fun and not too stressful!
Over the holidays, we received a great note from one our mentors, Steve Nobel, and thought you might be interested in his energetic perspective. Here's what he had to say:
"I have been optimistic about the extraordinary value of interior design throughout the year, and continue to be. While preparing my New Year's resolutions, I looked back to look forward, finding what I believe matters to designers and their prospective clients, at any time and in any economy.
Comfort at home leads the list, even (just) curled-up (in a) throw. Deep emotions motivate us to live well at home - connecting with relationships (at home), taking care of me (at home), and individual style (at home). These motives have not changed much over the centuries - they are intrinsic to interior design and often trump economics.
Design manifests that intimate desire to live well, no matter how much money is spent. Designers give form and function to our stylish lives. "
We wanted to share this blog with you because it really embraces our philosophy that "home is where the heart is". To us, it doesn't matter if the project is big or small, if our work inspires you to live better and have more peace and happiness at home, then we are rewarded!
Cheers to the New Year!!!
Joann and Kelly
