Future Home of the Washington Design Center

Exciting news! Today was the Hard Hat Tour of the New Washington Design Center. I went my design friend, Toni. We toured the construction zone, sipped some bubbly, and chatted with other excited designers. All we can say is THIS PLACE IS GOING TO BE GREAT!  I can't wait until it's ready in 2014. The rooftop terrace with a view if the Washington Monument was the show stopper. We envisioned all the future designer parties which we'll be attending. The local amenities and ease of parking were bonus points.  Who will be the first client of mine in 2014 that gets to go to the new building? We'll pull swatches, order rugs and chandeliers for your new space. And then I'll treat you lunch and we'll dine on fabulous crepes. Whoever you are...we're going to have an awesome time.

I love design! 

Hooray for the new WDC!

Selecting a Roof Color

Lighting Makes a Big Difference

Let's analyze the photo above. It's lovely.  It has several sources of lighting.

Light can make a space look fantastic.

Lack of lighting can leave you wondering why a room just.isn't.working. {Been there? Sigh!} 

Let me help.  Add lighting to your life. 

• Overhead lighting  (recessed lighting to light the room)
• Task lighting  (under cabinet lighting to light the countertop workspace)
• Accent Lighting  (the three pendant lights and the three lights above the stone wall)

{sk quick tip#1}  Consider adding these three sources to your rooms and you'll take the room
from humdrum to...OH YEAH!

{sk quick tip #2}  Updated lighting can also prevent guests in your home from
secretly wondering WHY are they keeping that granny lamp? Updated lighting changes their inner thoughts to
"They have a lovely home."  "Such a pretty room."  "Why doesn't our house look like that?"

Now you know the answer to that last question.  {nod and smile} 

Start shopping for new lighting.  Or hire me to help you.
