What Does "Home" Mean To You?
Does home mean "sanctuary" to you? Is it where you escape from the daily pressures of car pooling, a stressful executive job or endless tasks and errands? Where is that sanctuary spot in your home? Do you have a separate office or spa-like bathroom?
You may think that as designers, we spend the majority of our time working on the interiors of our client's homes, but what we really do is help you express what is inside of you - your values, dreams and aspirations. We work with your "interior feelings" and express them visually.
What we do is very personal, and might feel a little odd at first when we ask a lot of questions. When we understand what home really means to you, we can help you create a real representation of that inner desire.
Maybe you love to cook and you watch the Food Network when you're chopping and dicing. Do you enjoy creating masterpieces and getting "oohs and ahhs" from your family and friends? The saying that the kitchen is "the heart of the home" is so true. Everyone seems to end up there during parties. It is that casual and comfortable place where you can laugh, chat and enjoy the intimate relationships with your kids and the people that are important to you.
Does home mean "sanctuary" to you? Is it where you escape from the daily pressures of car pooling, a stressful executive job or endless tasks and errands? Where is that sanctuary spot in your home? Do you have a separate office, a spa-like bathroom, a man cave, a meditation & massage, or a craft room?
If you don't, then take some time to create a wish list of what you'd like to have within your home to help you manage your daily stress. What financial resources can you set aside or allocate for your project in the near future? Come up with a number that you are willing to invest for your peace of mind.
One or two weeks a year of vacation rarely gives us enough time to rejuvenate especially if we're organizing the kid's activities and making sure all of the details are arranged so everyone has a great time. What if you allocated that trip money to a renovation so you could enjoy a staycation every day?
