Interior Design and Feng Shui to improve the flow of positive energy
in your home or workplace, and better support you and your family.

"What you have in your home creates your story.
I want you to surround yourself with what you love - to be able to express yourself and live in comfort."
- Julie Ann
October 2016


It's that time of year again - people are getting their homes ready for the holidays. Sometimes all your space needs is festive décor to set the stage. Sometimes a redesign can help you prepare for company - moving existing furniture around for better flow, comfortable seating or ambiance - possibly adding in some new accessories for a finishing touch that pulls the room together.

We enjoy helping clients with their home's interior design, whether the project is large or small. Sometimes a space's finishes are so worn or outdated that a full remodel is necessary. But if that's not the case, it's possible to create a whole new look integrating what you already have - and even that has the power to lift your spirits and make you feel positive about the space, and your life.

Did you know it's also possible to get interior design advice virtually? If you haven't heard about them yet, my Virtual Consultations are worth checking out! See more below, they're an easy way to tweak design elements in your space, or go deeper to explore how Feng Shui adjustments can work to support you. Life can be challenging - but Feng Shui can help!

In this issue, I'm also excited to feature the Before & Afters of our Interior Designer, Margie's lower level remodel. This space turned out beautifully, and the homeowners love how perfectly it suits their lifestyle.

Also featured here is one of our Virtual Art Gallery Artists, James Griffin. James' work is colorful and striking in its beauty. Take a look! If interested, I have some pieces available in my office.

And don't delay - Schedule a Consult with us to get started on your project before the holidays. Time goes fast!

BEFORE + AFTER block2
Lower Level Living Room with a Tuscan Flair         
 

Our clients Shelly and Joel contacted us to re-create the space in their home's lower level for their lifestyle now. Their use of the space and style had changed, and they needed a fresh, updated design - one that felt warmer, and better suited for their love of entertaining.

"Margie is great! It was an extreme pleasure working with her on the remodeling of our lower level. We love the new space. I will definitely recommend her to friends and family."

VIRTUAL ART GALLERY block3
Featured Artist:  James Griffin          

 
"Rocks on Blueberry Island" by James Griffin
Throughout his life, James has straddled different worlds and cultures, the classics and pop culture, abstract and realistic art. All these varied influences come through in his paintings. He works primarily with realism, but always with a consciousness of the abstract just beneath the surface.

Subject matter varies widely, from vibrant tropical and rocky northeastern landscapes and seascapes, to large, expressive floral paintings. Though every painting is unique, running throughout is a keen sense of light and shadow, color and design.


James' paintings are emotional. His years as an illustrator have taught him to communicate clearly and powerfully in visual terms. The paintings catch the viewer's attention, but then have lasting interest as they unfold over time.

One of the leading illustrators in the book publishing world, James has created thousands of cover and inside illustrations for major publishers like Random House, Harper Collins, Viking Penguin and more. He's particularly known for romance novel cover illustrations.

"99.9% of the artwork in my home is my own, including some large-scale paintings. When we had to take them down for renovations, the space felt lonely, the walls looked sad. When they were up again it felt cheerful, lived in - full of personality. Artwork is so transforming."
