<span style="font-family: inherit;">From movies from the 90's such as "My Cousin Vinny" and "Only You" and more recent movies on the big screen "The Big Short" and "The Wrestler", Tomei is one of my favorite actresses.. with her lovable style and recognizable voice, she is always such a pleasure to watch. So I guess it is no </span>surprise<span style="font-family: inherit;"> that her home is just as casually stylish and effortlessly chic as she is on the red carpet.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the interview, Tomei talks
about getting together with her ‘huge’ family, her dream home, her addiction to
art and furniture shopping, how she winds down after a long day on set, and
more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
One day, almost a NY Miracle in itself, Tomei's neighbors slipped a note under her door that said, “We’re moving. Do you want to buy our place?”: So she was finally able to expand her “snug and lovely” but small space in the 1931 high-rise in New York’s Greenwich Village.<br />

Ever wanted to live in your own Barbie dream house? <a data-mce-href="http://www.nicolesassaman.com/" href="http://www.nicolesassaman.com/" style="border: 0px; color: #0074bd; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Nicole Sassaman</a> sure did. In fact, she spent many hours fantasizing about it as a child. </div>

From her humble beginnings in Shreveport, Louisiana to making her most lavish dreams come true, Sassaman felt a strong connection to this project. She purchased this penthouse in 2012 directly from Barbara "Barbie" Segal who inherited it from her parents and Mattel toy founders (not to mention the Barbie doll creators) Ruth and Elliot Handler.</div>

True inspiration comes from flipping through the pages of this thought provocateurs' enviable collection of designs. An artist since his days at Eton, Haslam's interior watercolor renderings are held by the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as The Royal Institute of British Architects and command high prices at auction. From the most contemporary and modern to the most exquisitely classical applications of wallpaper and draperies, Haslam proves that a true artist is not limited by trend or theme, but instead can push the boundaries of creativity given the opportunity to dream big. An absolute must for any design lovers library this summer.

In Bunny Williams' "On Garden Style," recently published through Abrams Books, she visits impeccably designed gardens around the world, shedding light on the key components that make a garden so appealing and idyllic. The chapters entitled, Imagine, Good Bones Make Good Rooms, and Planting With Style, shed light on the intuitive and thoughtful approach to the exterior landscapes that are shared in this book. <img alt="" class="image-blog_large" data-mce-src="/sites/default/files/styles/blog_large/public/blog/bunny1.jpg?itok=zv5xXu4L" data-mce-style="font-size: 13.0080003738403px; line-height: 1.538em;" height="413" src="http://www.californiahomedesign.com/sites/default/files/styles/blog_large/public/blog/bunny1.jpg?itok=zv5xXu4L" style="border: 0px; cursor: default; font-size: 13.008px; line-height: 1.538em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" width="604" /></div>

Williams offers advice for bringing it to fruition—the garden structure, furnishing the space, and establishing an aesthetic. The book also includes plant lists, a reading list, and other useful resources.</div>

</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ux7NgG1QmUY/VT_Vrxa2ivI/AAAAAAAAiB8/MCM8hgs7Ko8/s1600/House.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Three years ago, <a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank">I was asked by my clients</a> to visit this home with them in Tokeneke (Darien) Connecticut. With a very distinct architecture, and gorgeous sprawling backyard, this was the perfect setting for their growing family once they would decide to leave Manhattan, and move to the suburbs to raise their children with more space and comfort.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tasked with making this feel more like a young family home, we decided early on that there needed to be plenty of color and patterned papers and textured elements to help achieve that very desired end result. We needed to take into consideration that for now, this was to be their second / weekend home, and for that we needed to be considerate of making as many cosmetic changes that were necessary to make it feel like home, without taking on the bigger more structural renovations such as the Kitchen and Bathrooms which we would tackle once the move to the burbs was a more imminent decision.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thought it would be fun to share with you some of the Before and After shots of <a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank">my interior design</a> for this home, to show just how much can be achieved with the direction of an interior designer on your project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2qGOc225s5o/VT_d2fyU1KI/AAAAAAAAiDQ/4keyqb09knc/s1600/CT_kitchen_before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2qGOc225s5o/VT_d2fyU1KI/AAAAAAAAiDQ/4keyqb09knc/s1600/CT_kitchen_before.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beginning in the Kitchen and Great Room, we knew that we wanted to complete a total gut renovation in this space, but for the time being, as the family used the home we decided that simply giving it a fresh coat of paint, including the island and bar area would help tide us over until we were ready to make that final decision.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not a modern kitchen by any means, I was very happy with this compromise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HBIutjELiXI/VT_Xyf1DHMI/AAAAAAAAiCU/U-nBKSbeGjM/s1600/Mehditash.kitchen12305.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The original home owners used this room with a very different layout. However, we wanted to maximize causal seating for great TV viewing and eating all centering around this Great Room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zMWwfsOgIOA/VT_fdH8iuHI/AAAAAAAAiDc/wjgB-qGgS54/s1600/CT_Great%2BRoom_before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zMWwfsOgIOA/VT_fdH8iuHI/AAAAAAAAiDc/wjgB-qGgS54/s1600/CT_Great%2BRoom_before.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Again, we wanted to respect the original architecture and maintain some of those elements in the design even if only for the time being, but still allow for the family to make use of the views to the gardens from every window and feel very child friendly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sNmmWBRrEa8/VT_YAEFCC2I/AAAAAAAAiCo/jSh75iT3HdY/s1600/Mehditash12253_retouched.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
With an eat in kitchen. living combination.. this room allowed for the family and friends to be together while entertaining throughout both the winter and summer months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HoTFmXnWX4U/VT_XyZVcQGI/AAAAAAAAiCQ/n5wH1ImMogM/s1600/Mehditash.kitchen12231_retouched.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We included the desk area off the kitchen with the same tones of yellow, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so that all the areas worked together and became one happy room!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JfJIbtZC-TY/VT_YCbm_5XI/AAAAAAAAiCw/zS5Ef0CP6l8/s1600/Mehditash12296.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the desk, you would walk through into the Dining Room ..</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r37hYwR3Xas/VT_Vp2ZFvqI/AAAAAAAAiBc/s3dVFap2aX4/s1600/CT_DR_before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-r37hYwR3Xas/VT_Vp2ZFvqI/AAAAAAAAiBc/s3dVFap2aX4/s1600/CT_DR_before.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With some vintage finds, such as the crystal chandelier which was taken from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel before the remodel of this landmark began .. two sconces and my favorite pieces in this room, the pineapple alabaster lamps that we found on a trip to an antique store in Stamford.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The antique rug was a perfect fit from ABC Home and brought in many colors that we needed to soften the existing wood floor which would otherwise be slightly overwhelming and not provide the "beachy" feeling my clients desired.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MbmX_alS3mQ/VT_X82kXD3I/AAAAAAAAiCg/EhGZRicO8-c/s1600/Mehditash12324_retouched.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ahy4X9HP8WM/VT_YEtn856I/AAAAAAAAiC4/i3W-cWziyyI/s1600/Mehditash12403_retouched.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not to be forgotten.. the Powder Room is another key area, albeit small, that we had some fun in.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WsZqyvqBCRE/VT_VqTIvSlI/AAAAAAAAiBo/qEH4Cgp5TT0/s1600/CT_powder_before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WsZqyvqBCRE/VT_VqTIvSlI/AAAAAAAAiBo/qEH4Cgp5TT0/s1600/CT_powder_before.jpg" width="222" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were able to use the existing wainscoting and fixtures, but by adding this Cole and Son wallpaper, we brought some color and playfulness to this powder room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ahy4X9HP8WM/VT_YEtn856I/AAAAAAAAiC4/i3W-cWziyyI/s1600/Mehditash12403_retouched.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>

<i>"I’ll give you an example from a house I did. It was a second home for this family with young children. When they bought the home, they thought it was perfect the way it was. But the house had what I call “ghost rooms”: the formal living room that no one uses or the formal dining room that no one uses, but they both look really pretty.<br />So I decided to take the formal dining room and turn it into the husband’s man cave. And turn what would be the formal living room space into a really great home theater. So now it’s a house that actually accommodates the way that this family lives.<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28.4444465637207px;">I think that’s probably my favorite part of my job: it’s finding solutions to problems that sometimes the clients don’t even know exist and creating solutions for them.</span> .."</i></blockquote>

<i>The most difficult part of an interior designer’s job is when your clients start to doubt you. That’s really hard to deal with. In every single project, whether you’ve worked with that client before or not, there’s what I call a “leap of faith moment” — where you have to convince them to jump off the bridge with you into a place where they’re not sure if they’re comfortable. It’s usually in the creative phase of the project when the client has to actually make a decision to let you wallpaper their ceiling, or put fabric on the windows, or do this and that. You’re pushing them a little bit beyond their comfort zone. And you’re making them trust you 100%, even though they’re not able to visualize or understand fully what the end result is going to be.<br />I get that that’s scary. But I think homeowners forget that if they’ve done their due diligence in the beginning when they hired you, they need to trust themselves. I try to remind them that they’ve researched me, they went to their friends’ homes and got a referral about me. Or we’ve been working together to that point where I’ve proven myself to be trustworthy and that they can believe me when I say, “I know what I’m doing; let me lead you to where you want to be.” And there’s always a moment where they have to just hold their breath and jump.</i></blockquote>

I mean it. If you want to SAVE YOUR MONEY TODAY, hire an interior designer to help bring your ideas to life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am approached so frequently about what the design process looks like and how I structure my own working collaboration with my clients that I decided it was time to put it all down in black and white. It is much more than just helping my clients choose between a blue or green wall.. or which sofa to buy for their living room. My clients are always very smart, chic and highly style savvy people. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT... or what they don't want at the very least.</span><br />

<span style="text-align: center;">As part of the process, every design idea will be presented to you through samples, mood boards, power point presentations and even design sketches or 3D renderings or perspectives when needed, so that you are 100% confident with the choices we make together.</span><br />

With everything at your fingertips today, it is so easy to really get to know your designer in advance. Before working with me, I ask my clients to follow me on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/decaporter/" target="_blank">Pinterest </a>and <a href="https://instagram.com/decaporter/" target="_blank">Instagram </a>- I am much more than just the homes that I design for my clients. As I believe 100% that these should reflect MY CLIENTS vision just as much as my own, searching through my design portfolio will also represent them and their needs as well as the specific architecture of their home.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Want to know if we "click" on more than just design?<br />
That's the best way to feel 100% CONFIDENCE that we will be on the same page in every important decision. If you feel like you want to Re-Pin every image from my pinterest pages - then you will know we are a perfect match!<br />

This past weekend, after <a href="http://dec-a-porter.blogspot.com/2015/03/westweek-spring-market-panel-join-me.html" target="_blank">my panel during WestWeek</a>, I jumped on a plane and headed to Connecticut, to quickly install my client's weekend getaway just in time for their Easter break.<br />
I always prefer to have my installs done all at once, providing my clients with that amazing WOW moment as they enter for the first time and see it all come together..<br />
<br />
In some cases though, these need to be parceled out into a few phases in order to allow for the family to enjoy the home throughout the process. <a href="http://www.jennifermehditash.com/" target="_blank">We still try and make the magic happen for them</a> nonetheless!<br />
<br />
Here are a few sneak peak moments that I shared on <a href="https://instagram.com/decaporter/" target="_blank">Instagram </a>from that trip!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From the moment you enter this home, we wanted to invite you in with happy colorful surprises, taking this builder spec home to a more custom high end look through the addition of grasscloth wallpaper and painting the stairs as well as a custom gorgeous new stair runner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the main living areas, including both the living and home theater space, bright bold stripes and patterns are what continue the feeling of the beach home getaway that this family was hoping for.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
while using soft neutral wallpapers as a backdrop to the different bedrooms and hallways, added that much needed texture and layer to bring this home that extra step.<br />

Could not be more thrilled with these few details and can't wait to be able to finish up the design with more wallpapers on ceilings, custom light fixtures and art as we finish up this design just in time for Memorial Day Weekend!</div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
Big news for so many of us interior designers that have jumped on board the digital bandwagon, utilizing the many online resources to store our client's information on "the cloud".<br />
<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dj2GOW72J4w/VRGeYhh0bjI/AAAAAAAAgPs/9bTNJMG5xVw/s1600/Keith-Granet-300x448.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dj2GOW72J4w/VRGeYhh0bjI/AAAAAAAAgPs/9bTNJMG5xVw/s1600/Keith-Granet-300x448.jpg" height="320" width="214" /></a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a client of <a href="http://www.studiowebware.com/" target="_blank">Studio Designer</a> myself, I have enjoyed building my Interior Design business with the help of this program and have had the opportunity to use it in both a retail and within my design office environment.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deciding to grow my business last year, maintaining my New York office while opening a second in Newport Beach along on the Southern Californian coast was greatly made possible because of the advancement in technology in our industry, This flexibility of being able to access each project from anywhere, and share each item instantaneously with both vendors and clients, is a fundamental key to that success!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier this month, when I received the press release of the newly formed partnership between Studio Designer's creator, Lance Haeberle and Keith Granet I was immediately intrigued!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
What a privilege it was to speak directly with Keith who took the time to share with me some of his thoughts on the landscape of this ever changing industry and how Designer Axis and their new formed partnership, will be a part of that success.<br />
<br />
By sharing Keith's thoughts on Interior Design and how our industry is changing, I hope to help all of us start the conversation on how we can all be more consistent and better professionals.<br />

<b>Q1. Share with me your design mission and how you see our industry today?</b><br />
<br />
<b>KG: </b>I have frequently been asked "What is the mission of my practice..?<br />
I have dedicated my entire career to help elevate our industry ... if we treat ourselves as a business than we will garner more respect from the consumers. The problem is always that one asks a simple question and gets 10 different answers. What's your markup? How do you charge? We need to be more consistent in the way we present our services, and stop undercutting each other in order o get the job. We need to value what we do and what we bring to the process. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Transparency is fundamental. The markup needs to be related to the service you are providing, and your talent and experience.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
What the consumers need to realize is that, a standard 35% markup that many designers practice most represents at least 25% - 30% of the time that the designer dedicating to the project and the process. That has to cover, walking in the door and turning your lights on! It quickly is eaten up with simple everyday costs, and perhaps one would be left with 5-10% profit.<br />
<b><i>What consumer would argue with that?</i></b><br />
<br />
The problems arise when you begin charging Client A 25% and Client B 35% - in the end that designer will not be focusing as much on that project. Consistency is key.<br />

<b>Q2. Talk to me a little about how Studio Designer will evolve into Designer Axis.</b><br />
<br />
<b>KG:</b> Designer Axis and Studio Designer is a B2B model platform.<br />
I have spent me entire career protecting the industry and this is a continuation of that.<br />
Part of the advantages will be from all the data garnered from Studio Designer's proposals which can be used to better allow brands and manufacturers to understand why some products may be proposed x number of times, but only produce 5% of PO's. Albeit highly confidential and with no direct client information, the significance of having this accessible to the vendors will allow for better product pricing, management and growth.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, as many designers work at all hours of the day and night, allowing for immediate transmission of information from a client presentation with one click of a button, automatically generating a PO to the vendor there will be much less time lapse and no longer the duplication of time and efforts. Even in the highly customizable business of design, the level of communication directly with the vendor will allow for it to be traceable, engaging and highly more efficient.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Q3. How will brands interact with the designers on Designer Axis?</b><br />
<br />
KG: Many brands are eager to allow for their products to automatically accessible to all of the clients. Kravet, as one of our major investors, is one that is believes that the direct access to the clients with the purchasing power allows will grow their sales and help the designers with their time management.<br />
<br />
There will not be any solicitation from the vendors directly to the designers, but they will be able to showcase new releases and so on, which designers can view or not. <br />
<br />
In some instances, smaller designers that may not have the individual buying power to create direct accounts will be able to go through these portals or buying agents that will consolidate the requests and provide them access and pricing which otherwise would be unattainable.<br />

<b>Q4. What is the "disruptive change" that Designer Axis will bring to the marketplace?</b><br />
<br />
Closing the loop from Manufacturer to Designer to Client.<br />
There isn't a seamless way that connects all the stakeholders in the industry right now.<br />
That is the key element that this engaging platform will provide to everyone.<br />

I have just arrived and already have loaded up the images on my phone and camera and wanted to share a few with you all right away.<br />
<br />
We were lucky enough to have a Private Tour this evening by Martin Hegel, the communications director of the Museum of Applied Arts in the heart of the city. A what a special museum it is.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Not only was I inspired by the pieces throughout, and most certainly by the very forward thinking way that they have been curated, but also by the building in of itself.<br />

<br />
Designed by American architect, <a href="http://www.richardmeier.com/" target="_blank">Richard Meier</a>, it is in its 30th year and allows for each of the rooms to represent lifestyle settings and vignettes, <span style="font-family: inherit;">Lighting through windows and openings within the structure play another crucial part in the journey throughout your visit and as it was dusk, we could really appreciate the differences of each room and how they impacted one another.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Meier was invited to take part in a </span>competition<span style="font-family: inherit;"> during the 1970's, to create a museum which would attach to the original 1803 building and had never designed a museum before. He presented a model and won the </span>competition<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Although Frankfurt was in fact the first museum to be designed by Meier, the High Museum in Atlanta began and was completed before Frankfurt. </span><br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The museum’s curatorial policy is to represent ethnology as a “unified diversity”, first through a series of independent, but linked, top-lit cubic forms, and then through alternative itineraries afforded by the plan. In this respect, the formal strategies adopted for the Museum of Decorative Arts and this museum are complementary in that the first consists of prismatic masses fed by an inner cruciform circulation system, while the second consists of the ramp-hall backed up by cubic pavilions along the Metzlerstraße.</i></span></blockquote>

Inspired by the Guggenheim museum and it's spiral ramp formation allowing to see through the galleries and get different and unique perspectives of the art and the exterior elements throughout.</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
Because of the small scale objects being shown, Meier felt the importance that the rooms needed to be scaled down and allow for the movement to be a slow and gradual experience. </div>

<br />
I wanted to write a post on Reflections today.<br />
Day 1 of 2015 and thought I would start by sharing a few of my own reflections on the year 2014.<br />
<br />
For me personally, (and you all know I am not much for sharing very personal thoughts here) 2014 brought many challenges, both professionally and personally. However, the most difficult ones were indeed those that shifted my own outlook of who I am and what I am (or not) capable of.<br />
<br />
Starting this blog, now 3 1/2 years ago, came at a pivotal moment in my life. We had just had our third child in a new city and I needed to start my career over in the midst of what we now know was a very difficult time for many of us in the design field, especially in New York.<br />
Dec-a-Porter brought me out of my own space.. out of solitude and into your homes, and brought me closer to you all. Here, on twitter and beyond and enriched my life in so many ways it would become too soppy a novel to share it all here. It meant a daily dedication to posting.. editing my thoughts (not always easy) and sharing the views from my lens as I discovered the design world around me.<br />
I attended every conference, went online to every chat, and slowly but surely work *IRL* began to thrive as well as the connections online. Like so many, I was on a complete adrenaline rush and couldn't wait to sit down to post again ,.. and again.. and finally (and a lot sooner than many of my blogging compatriots) I burnt out! Complete exhaustion.<br />
<br />
So the posts started to become less and less in depth nor as exciting as I wanted them to be.. not just for you, the readers, but for me.<br />
<br />
I remember how at some point last year, (now that feels strange to say) the whirlwind created online by the reaction to a few comments made in an interview about "bloggers" in general by Martha Stewart got me to thinking again about my own blog, my own mission and everything in between.<br />
<br />
Does Martha have a point? Are all bloggers experts? Or just because you have a blog, does that immediately provide you (and of course, when I say you I also mean me) allow for your opinion to somehow trump all others, more educated and informed opinions?<br />
<br />
Are we all just taking this whole thing too seriously? Or is it SERIOUS because it means so much to those of us that dedicate themselves to their space?<br />
<br />
My blog, is MY BLOG. It is not supposed to be a newspaper, nor do I expect that my commentary, opinions, thoughts, musings be taken as the end all of anything related to interior design. Especially not in the field of interior design, when so much is subjective.<br />
<br />
I suppose it is how as professional designers we feel when clients expect a 24 hour miracle, similar to that of an HGTV episode. It is TV, and meant to entertain the viewer. A blog, can also be that.. or something a lot more in depth, more personal. It is what the readers and blogger chose it to be. <br />
<br />
Of course, I hope that everyone understands the distinction between a trade professional that studied, invested time and money in perfecting their craft, and simultaneously feels they have the extra creative "juice" required to share it on their blog platform for the world to read and enjoy AND someone that loves that trade and writes about it. No matter how well they write about it.<br />
<br />
With all that said, at the end of the day, it is all about the readers. Not the writers. It is about building it.. but have they actually come to visit? Do "they" come back.. again and again? That is what matters in the end. Making a connection and having that trust based relationship built on empathy, likeness, a feeling of belonging.<br />
<br />
That is what I strive for, even if I sometimes fail at it.<br />
<br />
So what does that mean about what I have learned from everything that 2014 brought me?<br />
<br />
Well for one.. I think until this past year, I genuinely still believed I was invincible. It is true. I am finally a real adult now :-) and understand that HEALTH really does make a difference. Last year after participating in a charity event, I was bitten by a tick and quickly discovered that I had Lyme's Disease as a result. It took a giant toll on me and slowly but surely many other little ailments began to pile up on top of one another.<br />
<br />
With small children that needed me and my husband working for the most part on the other side of the country, each day presented a new challenge. It meant I needed to start really taking care of me .. not last, not after everyone else was done, but first. It is not easy to do that. At least not for me.<br />
I think about what they say on the planes, as the talk you through the emergency procedures.. always put your own mask on first. Well I am not sure I would be able to do that, but when you are presented with no other alternative, or in a sense, your own rock bottom, than what alternative do you have?<br />
<br />
So, I began taking care of me, and discovered that I, like many I have come to meet in the process, live with an autoimmune disease called Lupus. The attack on my body from the tick's venom just made all my otherwise easy to live with symptoms worse and almost unbearable.<br />
Constant pain is so unpleasant.. and most definitely not conducive to happy mothering nor creativity. <br />
All from a little tiny bite - life changed in that instant for me. It was anything but pleasant and not a time I am comfortable sharing, nor one I would ever chose to relive.<br />
<br />
<br />
So I decided to make some changes in my life, as a mother, a wife and as a family we moved west to be closer together and to allow me time to regain my own strength. Emotional.. physical.. creative. These are the layers that I needed to start to replenish and make whole again.<br />
<br />
That was my gift to me. To become me again, and I am getting there. I feel so much better thanks to amazing alternative medicine and holistic choices that have made each day fun again. I am so grateful to both Dr Nona Djavid in Newport Beach and Dr Elizabeth Greig of the Blum Center in New York for helping put the pieces back together again. So many of you online and in person, saw me through my moments of sadness - to you, know how much you mean to me.<br />
<br />
So now here we are in 2015. Day 1. I have always thought of myself as a positive, or glass half full kind of person, so I thought it would only be fitting to start focusing on my strengths this year.<br />
<br />
I want 2015 to be all about what I can do and what deserves my energy all in the hopes of becoming a better me. A friend online, <a href="https://www.strengthsmentor.com/" target="_blank">Lisa Ferguson</a>, shared this image with me after I took the Strengths Finder test as a sign of my own commitment to this New Year's Resolution.<br />
<br />
Here they are ->> My Top 5 strengths.<br />

<br />
So there it is in black and white.<br />
This year already has a great lineup of interior design projects kicking off the year just the way I like it as well as editorial and blogging events in California, in New York and many more in Europe. So I say to 2015... watch out, here I come.DecAPorterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14952988872684317302noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3976019483873257211.post-50723858957088532552014-12-15T07:00:00.000-05:002014-12-15T07:00:01.960-05:00Interior Design 101 - Interior Design ProcessAfter seeing the great reaction from my roundup of <b><a href="http://dec-a-porter.blogspot.com/2014/12/interior-design-101-window-design.html" target="_blank">Window Treatments Galore </a></b>I thought I would put together another collection of my posts on Working with an Interior Designer and some thoughts on the putting together lighting schemes and mood boards.<br />
