Asking for accolades may feel like boasting, but it is with great pleasure that I share the thoughts of satisfied clients with you. Nothing makes me feel better about how I spend my days and how I affect others than when I get feedback from my clients, my most valued jewels to my business.

I went to Portland's NW Natural Street of Dreams the other day. In this economy, the past few Street of Dreams have been lacking.

Lately, I have been working on the curb appeal of my home. No longer is Ghetto Chic allowed by my neighbors. Appalling for an Interior Designer, I know, but while I'm making everyone else's Design Dreams come true, my home gets overlooked often. The state of the lawn is another story. But not this summer! With more time on my hands, I have turned my design talent to beautifying my home's Curb...

Thats how we felt about our existing basement. BUT before the cartharsis could begin, I had to do something with my STUFF!

Why should you hire an Interior Designer? In my field, I constantly have to market my services to potential clients. Mostly my marketing consists of word of mouth from satisfied clients and people looking for help with their remodel or home build by surfing the internet and finding the design organization I belong to in which my website is linked (http://www.nwsid.org/).If they havent already been...
