Have you been enjoying summer? We've been busy with residential and commercial projects here at Metro Interiors, including design enhancements for a Senior Housing space. We've been choosing artwork for the residential hallways, creating a gallery feel complete with tags next to the pieces describing the name and medium. It's been a very enjoyable process to work with the design committee.

Although work and life can seem intense at times, especially finding a balance with the two, I'm always sure to make room for joy.

With my clients I try to take the stress out of making design changes using my "Fun" Shui Way. Creating a feel-good new space should be a feel-good process!

Earlier this summer I had the good fortune to meet with Kay Hofler, one of our Virtual Art Gallery artists, whose work is pure fun. A friend of mine who knew how much I loved Kay's work bought this piece as a gift for me (pictured at right). I was thrilled and it lifts my spirits every time I see it.

We've also used a couple of Kay's pieces in the Laguna Beach Condo design, see below.

I love how Kay takes ordinary objects and makes them dynamic. Her artistic talent and skill for magnifying them makes for beautiful interpretations.

Do you have uplifting art in your space? I believe you should decorate with pieces that make you smile, everyday. Art has the power to change your space, and change your life!
