Fresh Bedding

I found this great website for bedding called bliss living home. I have attached some of my favorite bedding options they offer. What do you think?

Creative Uses Of Wood

Nature is a great source of inspiration, I love looking at patterns, colors and details in nature and thinking of how I can use that in a project. I really enjoy pieces that incorporate nature. I came across this great site, Brent Comber Originals and discovered some very creative uses of wood that look just great!

Small Space Savers-table edition

With so many people moving into condos or apartments in the city, people are having to learn to consolidate their belongings. Some have given up and simply restarted with all new furniture. These space saving tables are all available from the innovative company called Calligaris. Beautiful Italian design incorporating functionality equals one great piece of furniture.

I'm loving all the fun floral prints for spring!

Design a Room

In the last few days I have discovered several websites where you can pay as little as $250 for a professional designer to custom design your room. I think this is taking away the credibility of designers. We already have lots of design shows showing everyday homeowners how to create a designer look and now this super cheap option?! Where is my interior design degree going to take me if we belittle interior design? I entered this career to become a professional, not to be a "decorator."

Elise Island-a well designed space for children

I am very passionate about good design suited for children. I love kids and have worked with them for many years, i feel they have very specific needs different from adults. Senior year studio was spent working on a child care facility and learning about efficient design for children. When I came across the article on Elise Island () I immediately fell in love with the design. The space was designed as a santuary for children and adolescents suffering from psychiatric problems. When the children and adolescents arrive at the hospital they are told the story of Princess Elise. When she was young, Princess Elise invented her own island, with golden sand, palm trees, rocks that kiss the waves and shelters where she could rest when she needed to. Here she was always safe. Now as a grown-up lady, Elise does no longer need to live on the island and therefore dedicated it to her young patients in the hospital. There are three separate "playrooms" according to the age of children.

The things that work well in this design are:

-the use of primary colors

-wide variety of shapes

-multiple levels

-friendly drawings on walls

-hideaways

-storage

-creative play areas

-seating for parents/doctors/nurses
