Before/After Home Office

Tuesday, February 2, 2010

What a mess!  I got inspired watching Sarah’s House and reworked my home office.   I had no space and had even resorted to using a card table for an extra surface.  I am thrilled with these Ikea tables (like Sarah was) and I think they will function very well in this corner.  OK, no more excuses, [...]

Welcome

Sunday, December 20, 2009

This foyer was entered in Apartment Therapy’s 2009 Color Contest.  I am not afraid of color when it works for the client and the space.   By the way, those are not photos on the wall, they are colored pencil illustrations done by a friend/artist.  Check out David’s work at wilgusillustration.com.
