Is it really October?

Wow........where have the last 10 days gone?  I have been to the Laguna Design Center and had the privilege of listening to and meeting Nancy Corzine - certainly an influential force in the field of design.  It was facinating to hear how she began.  The next day I had the opportunity to meet with and hear Steve Nobel - the chairman of Luxury Home Alliance -  who spoke about transitions and the importance of professional services and relationships in today's world.  I know we are all keenly aware of the changes in our economy, our eco-system, and our desire to improve our world by consciously re-using, re-newing, and respecting our resources.

And in between these enlightening meetings, my clients challenged me to find solutions to design dilemnas so we could have the best of both worlds - beauty and function.  One issue was how to have the openness of a great screen panel and yet have total privacy when needed.  I did it and we now have the best of both worlds.  Another client wanted a specific work area but also wanted the area to be used for social purposes.  We have arrived at a great compromise........ wheels were a great help!

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to email me or comment through my website:  www.jmsinteriors.net  I will be happy to respond.  Have a great week.
