2015 – Year of the Transformation Part II

One of the things I love about writing this blog is connection with others. I have connected with people from all over the world. Some of the blogs I follow aren’t about design, decorating but finances, funny stories, story telling or just sharing tales of life.

I look forward to meeting more people in 2015. Over the last three years I have transforming my life. We moved to Texas, I started a branch for a company that I worked for in St. Louis which has ups and downs, and a rocky foundation. So in to order to fill the time and make new friends I hung out my shingle for a small interior design residential business. Over the last few months it has grown and that is very exciting.  I am meeting new people and making new friends and thinking about what life can be for the future.

Check out my new blog/website directionsindesign.wordpress.com Looking forward to a new year.

Behind the Photo Shoot!

I love this post from one of my favorite bloggers, Julia from Hooked on Houses. She is my design kindred spirit. I have to reblog her latest posting on home that was featured in Better Homes and Gardens. Magazine readers haven’t clue how long and what it takes to do a photo shoot. I shoot can take hours to set up, but before the shoot you have to shop for accessories, furniture and fresh flowers. I love photo shoots but they are time consuming, but very fun.
